I own a 1995 olds Aurora, and have had for the 2nd time a major fuel rail leak due the plastic hoses becoming brittle. This time almost caused a fire. This needs to be addressed by Oldsmobile and GM. This can cost someone their life. This is a very seroius situation.

- Mission Viejo, CA, USA

Dealer replaced the fuel rail at 50,000 miles/62,000 mile's and again at 66,000 miles, but problem was still occurring. (bladder leak, gas leak, fluid leak, fluid coolant leak) there was a strong gas smell, transmission problem, the engine hesitation as if it were going to backfire, overheating, banging noise when the gears were shifted which was an intermittent failure per PCM. The reg/filter and throttle sealing was replaced.

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.

I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora, with a 4.0 L gas engine. The fuel rail started to leak and could have resulted in a fire. The cost of this repair was over $700. I feel General Motors should contact all owners with vehicles that have this engine. They should check and repair all detective fuel rails before someone is killed or seriously injured.

Rail injector tubing fractured three (3) times. First time my wife drove it 17 miles at 60 mph not understanding what was going on. Luckily the car did not catch fire, but it took weeks to get the smell of gasoline out of the car and the ventilation system. Had someone drove by and flipped out a cigarette or a small electrical arc in the engine compartment, I have no doubt it would have went off like a bomb. I caught the two (2) other fractured tubes by checking the engine before she drove it and when she returned home. Finally, I had it replaced, at a cost of around $400, but with no guarantee that the same thing would not happen again. Oldsmobile engine engineering really fumbled the ball on this design of fuel delivery in the engine compartment, plastic tubing to carry fuel to the injectors (at around 50 psi) in a hot engine compartment. Sad part is that the new replacement part was made out of the same material. You ask the questions below; was there a fire" was there a crash? property damage? reported to police" a rather ironic set of questions! had there been a fire at 60 mph, I'm sure a crash would have happened, property damage would be a given and the police would have been called. But for what purpose, the fractured plastic injector tubing (which created the whole mess) would have been consumed by the fire and everyone would be asking "what could have caused this?" I believe I have provided you with the answer to that last question. Sad part is that I see many of these Oldsmobile Aurora driving around all over the country, and unfortunately no one with the power to do so, like yourself, feel compelled to let the american consumers know that this very dangerous situation exist and make Oldsmobile admit it has a life threatening problem in it's fuel delivery system.

A gas leak developed in the engine compartment due to a defective fuel injector rail assembly, which had a crack in it. Two months later, the fuel line developed another leak, this time spraying gas all over the engine, creating an extreme fire hazzard. I did have both of these items fixed before there was an actual fire, at great expense. ($578 the first time and $731 the second time).
