Consumer Description

I FOUND OUT THAT THIS GAS LINE LEAKAGE ISSUE EXIST IN EVERYONE THAT I KNOW WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THERE IS A FUEL LINE CLIP THAT CAN BE REPLACED. THE CLIP IS INSERTED AT THE END OF THE FUEL LINE THAT CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE BUT THIS CLIP DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG ONCE REPLACED. EVENTUALLY THE CLIP WON'T WORK ANYMORE AS IF IT IS THE FUEL LINE ITSELF THAT IS BAD. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS MODEL BUICK AND IS DANGEROUS. I'M JUST WONDERING HOW CAN SUCH AN ISSUE NEVER BEEN ON THE BUICK RECALL LIST FOR THIS MODEL CAR. MOST PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS CAR SAY THAT THEY HAVE SMELLED THE GAS FUMES AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE GAS ACTUALLY LEAKS/ DRIP FROM THE FUEL LINE'S CLIP ONTO THE HOT ENGINE. ( CAN YOU SAY VERY DANGEROUS) THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR
