I have a 1995 oldsmoble aroura. The fuel rail has had three seperate failures. There is a recall in effect for this model and year for this problem. However Oldsmobile says my car is not covered under the recall. I had it fixed at the dealer for over $600 as gas was getting on the engine.

The fuel delivery system, or the material from which it made from is of questionable integrity. I had a return fuel line with a crack that needed repair. Two months down the line my fuel rail cracked. On both occasions I can not believe there was not a fire. GM at this point does not want to admit or acknowledge that there is a problem. The car was well maintained and only has 55,875 miles to date. GM's response is it is normal maintenance repair and there willing to sell me a new car with a factory warranty. This is a major safety issue to all Aurora's or any GM product with the same fuel delivery system on the road. Kevin elswick, concerned consumer. To date, awaiting for return response from GM.

Major fuel leak on top of my engine from the fuel delivery system. I am replacing this componet today...my mechanic was visible shaken when he saw the gushing of gasoline from the delivery system. He said I would have a fire anytime...bad system.

The plastic connector of the fuel rail ruptured and gasoline was sprayed on hot engine. This problem should be looked at closely!!! my wife and son were driving the car at the time this occurred...they could have been seriously injured. I think the manufacturer should be held liable.

Nylon (itt automotive) fuel lines developed pin-hole leak which sprays a very fine mist of gasoline into engine compartment. This is very dangerous. There are about 20 other complaints listed on your website - what does it take to get a recall? - or at least some help from GM to pay for the $800 in repairs... please respond with advice.

A fuel line under the hood was spraying gasoline. It was not from a fitting. It was spraying from a hole in the plastic fuel line tubbing. For a plastic fuel line to begin spraying gasoline for no apparent reason is bizzare. I feel Oldsmobile should be aware of this and should pay for parts and labor for this defect.

Fuel rail plastic connector sprung fuel leak; spraying fuel over hot engine; could have caused fire and explosion; lucky it did not. I see there are a number of complaints for this problem, which should never happen. What will manufacturer do for reimbursement of repair expenses?
