“When starting the vehicle smoke came from under the hood. Consumer was informed that intake manifold blew out. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.”

“Gasoline evaporation leak at tank hose causing engine warning light to come on. Gm dealer says hose is broke at tank and only way to fix it is to replace entire length of hose and fuel tank at a cost of approximately $780. Apparently, this is a one piece sealed system and would appear there is a defect in the material if the leak is occurring somewhere between the two ends.”
