1998 GMC Sonoma Owner Comments

problem #1

Sonoma 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

1998 GMC Sonoma pick up with 4 cylinder automatic transmission. The fuel line mounting bracket located on the bell housing rubbed a hole in the fuel line allowing gasoline to drip on the hot exhaust pipe. It took three dealers and a couple of months to find the leak. General Motors stated this was normal wear and refused to repair or assist in repair with estimated cost of $400-$600. This leak presented an extreme fire/explosion hazard. I have never seen or heard of a gas line rubbing through on any vehicle. There is no way this is anything but a design/manufacturing problem.
