| 1999 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | MY WIFE SMELLED GASOLINE UPON ENTERING THE CAR ON OCTOBER 7, 2012. I CHECKED UNDER THE CAR FROM WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM, AND SAW GASOLINE DRIPPING FROM A PIPE NEAR THE GAS TANK. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO REPLACE FOUR FUEL AND EVAPORATION LINES DUE TO CORROSION. IT COST ME OVER $1,000 TO REPLACE THESE LINES. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A DISASTER COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO MY EXHAUST PIPE. I THINK THAT THESE VANS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE THAT CHEVY WOULD PUT IN FUEL LINES THAT HAD ANY POSSIBILITY OF CORRODING. THEY SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT IMMEDIATELY. *TR |

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS LEAKING COOLANT. THE GASKETS FOR THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. |
