FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
WE OWN A 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA. ON JUNE 9TH OUR CAR WAS HAULED TO WALKER JONES IN WAYCROSS GEORGIA BECAUSE IT HAD STALLED, WAS SMOKING FROM UNDER HOOD, HAD GAS IN THE OIL . WE HAD BEEN TOLD THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED DUE TO NYLON TUBING COULD CRACK AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. WHEN WE PICKED THE CAR UP, WE WERE CHARGED FOR THIS RECALL....$ 378.62. FIRST WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A RECALL AND THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGES. THEN THEY CHANGED IT TO NOPE ALL MODELS BUT YOURS IS UNDER THE RECALL AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. WHY ARE ALL AURORAS UNDER THIS RECALL 1996-1997 MODELS RECALLED AND NOT THE 1995'S? I MEAN IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER MODELS. COULD YOU PLEASE ANSWER MY CONCERNS? THANK YOU.

ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 30, 2004, THE FUEL RAIL ON MY 1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA DEVELOPED A LEAK AND FLOODED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH RAW GASOLINE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED OLDSMOBILE DEALER IN SEWARD NEBRASKA FOR REPAIRS. RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON 1995-1997 AURORAS WITH THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, OLDSMOBILE HAS DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE [XXX] WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SINCE THIS WAS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE $474.34 FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *JB UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
CONSUMER'S VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN NHTSA RECALL 04V110000. VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.0L V8 ENGINES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE NYLON TUBING USED IN THE FUEL RAIL CONSTRUCTION MAY DEGRADE AND CRACK. ADDITIONALLY, THE 1995 MODEL YEAR USES A UNIQUE UNDERHOOD FUEL RETURN LINE THAT MAY CRACK. CRACKING OF THE FUEL RAIL OR RETURN LINE TUBING CAN RESULT IN A FUEL LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. DEALERSHIP INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 1995.*AK
