Fule line broke and gasoline was spraying all over the engine compartment, fouled otu spark plugs. Very concerned that could have been a fire due to gasoline leakage.

Failure of computer which controls fuel injection. Problem is most noticeable at low speeds, as when approaching other autos at a traffic light or very slow speed driving. When pressure is released from accelerator pedal the fuel controller increases fuel flow for 0.3 to 1.0 second then slowly reduces flow to normal idle speed. Engine speed increases in this process (with transmission shifted into nuetral to observe it) 500 to 1500 RPM. The problem seems to be worse at elevated ambient temperatures. (above 80 degrees, F.) this is a hazardous condition and several times rear-end collisions have been narrowly averted. Communication with Oldsmobile's customer service office have been met with rudeness and the plainly stated position that they are not interested in addressing problems with vehicles out of warranty or owned by aftermarket owners.

The fuel rail is composed of plastic sections of tubing connecting the fuel injectors. These sections develop splits allowing fuel to spray all over the engine. This has happened twice in the past year. Both times I replaced the bad sections with rubber hose and clamps. I believe that if this problem is not addressed every one of these cars will develop the problem at some point in time, possibly resulting in catastrophic fires.

There was a strong smell of fuel inside of vehicle. Took vehicle to mechanic, and mechanic indicated fuel leaking from fuel rail which was too close to spark plugs, could easily start fire.

Headlights flicker or blink like flashers while driving. Fuel injection system seems not to be getting necessary fuel at all times. Paint has been peeling on the molding and I have been noticing spots in the paint more and more every week. Had problem with anti-lock braking system made loud noises and malfunctioned while driving. Transmission shut down on the interstate was driving 70mph then alll of a sudden it shut down to 35mph and it wouldn't go any faster. Air condition vents are stuck in close position and some of them are not getting air through them at all.
