“Four years ago I filed a report of what I considered a dangerous part failure on our 1995 Buick Riviera, in that a fuel line had developed a pin hole and gas was spraying out over the engine. I also wrote a lette to general motors regarding this problem but I never heard back from anyone. This week we again smelled gas when driving the vehicle and discovered that the fuel line which was replaced in 4/02 had again failed and gas was spraying out into into the engine compartment. …”
