NHTSA Complaint #11386104 — 2017 GMC CANYON

OIL LEAKING FROM A HIGH PRESSURE OIL LINE. IT WAS A PIN HOLE IN MIDDLE OF LINE, RUBBER PART LOCATED BETWEEN RADIATOR AND ENGINE. IT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AN HOUR IN DRIVEWAY, AFTER A 100 MILE DRIVE. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE OIL WAS EVERYWHERE AROUND ENGINE AND ON INSIDE OF TIRES.THIS WAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT LEAK. LOST PINTS OF OIL. WHEN I STARTED CAR TO CHECK FOR LEAK IT COULD BE CLEARLY SEEN PUSHING OUT WITH PRESSURE. THE PLACEMENT OF THIS HOLE MAKES IT HARD TO BELEIVE THAT ANYTHING COULD OF PUNCTURED IT. FROM SOME SEARCHING IT SEEMS THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. THERE ARE CLAIMS THAT THE BURST IS DUE TO STARTS IN COLD WEATHER. THE DAY IT HAPPENED WAS 1/1/21, IT WAS COLD BUT NOT EXTREME I WOULD SAY LOW 30'S F I AM FILING THIS AFTER TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO SHOP, I DID NOT TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEO, REGRETTABLE. OF COURSE THIS WAS (IS) A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, A MESS IN DRIVEWAY ETC.BUT I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT MY ENGINE DID NOT GO ON FIRE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFO
