“The fuel line made of heavy plastic cracked and caused all the fuel to leak from the car near the engine as I was driving near my home. I am lucky the car did not catch fire before I realized it was leaking as I drove down the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11408128, filed 2021-04, 115,000 miles“I observed a liquid puddle about midway between the front and rear doors, on the driver side of the car. Upon further examination I concluded the liquid was gasoline. I felt where I thought the leak was coming from and felt tubing. I felt the a tube line and it crumbled in my hand. Upon further visual inspection, I observed other areas (along the drivers door) that were also leaking gasoline. Much of the gas line is crumbling plastic, causing gasoline to leak under the car.”
NHTSA complaint #10428704, filed 2011-10, 58,000 miles“I went to start my car (1995 Cadillac concourse) and before the engine turned-over, I heard a very loud pop, similar to a back fire, except that this noise came from underneath the hood. I then, simultaneously, noticed smoke coming from under neath the closed hood. I jumped out of the car and opened the hood to find that the engine was on fire. I ran back inside the house to get water and wet towels to try and put out the fire, which, after about 5 to 6 minutes, I was able to extinguish the fire. The engine had never caught on fire before this incident. …”
