Consumer Description

FUEL LEAKING FROM REAR OF ENGINE FUEL LINE. MY WIFE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL IN OUR GARAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL BUICK/GMC DEALER IN LAS VEGAS, NV. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED A "REAR FEED FUEL LINE LEAKING, SEAL WORN INTERNALLY". UPON INQUIRY THERE IS A "NATIONAL BACKORDER" FOR THE FUEL LINE ASSEMBLY (AT $600.00 PLUS DOLLARS FOR THE PART ALONE). I UNDERSTOOD FROM ONE OF THE MECHANICS, THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I CONTACTED BUICK, BUT THEY DECLINED THE REPAIR CLAIMING THAT "MOTOR VEHICLES ARE COMPLEX MACHINERY AND SOMETIMES REQUIRE REPAIRS". I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT IF IT DID NOT INVOLVE LEAKY FUEL LINES, AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD !! PLEASE HELP. *TR
