The contact owns a 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora. While parking the vehicle, the contact smelled gasoline through the vents in the passenger compartment. He turned off the vehicle and noticed smoke underneath the hood. The dealer stated that the fuel line was the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 150,000.

Fuel spraying from small holes in plastic sections of the fuel rail assembly. Gasoline was all over the top of the engine, which in my opinion is not very safe. Not to mention the puddles of gasoline that were being left behind on the ground due to this leak. We fixed this problem in house, and being that this problem seems to be at the default of the manufacturer, we would like a refund for the service preformed not only for this automoblie, but also for the two other 1997 oldsmoblie Aurora's that we own. A response to this complaint would be extremely gratifying. Thank you for your concerns ken schirmang

I purchased a vehicle form chesrown GMC/Kia in columbus Ohio. I bought it on June 3rd 2002 paid $10500+ $892 (extend warranty)when I bought the car I opted for the extended warranty. Since that time, I have had fuel pump, feul switch, feul line, fuel injectors of my car go bad (more than once!). while driving the car on a heavily traveled street the engine just stopped! my husband got out to push the vehicle putting him in danger. I took the vehicle out the next day and on three separate occasions the engine ceased. I took it to the dealer and the technicians said I donT know what it is & they finally concluded it had a bad fuel pump. They replaced it. Less than 24 hours later, I was at the shop again! the fuel pump that they put in didn't work either. I have a serious health problem which requires I be on blood thinners. An accident for a normal person would be harmful, for me it would mean almost certain death. I am scared to drive the car. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it. I am contacting you to ask for your help. My uncle had the same make & model (old Aurora 97') his could not be fixed. I believe that this car is a lemon. I have put more than enough time, money & grief into trying to get it working. This particular vehicle is a dangerous one. Please help me with this issue. I am just asking for what every reasonable person would. A mechanically safe vehicle. I appreciate you taking this issue seriously, as I do not want to continue to put myself in unnecessary danger. I would be happy to provide you with every record of service & dates etc if you would like to have them (once I get it back form the shop). Sincerely, susan M. pendleton the first failure happened on March 6th evening. The next on 3/7/03, etc...
