I NOTICED A GASOLINE ODOR COMING FROM MY FUEL TANK AREA, I IMMEDIATELY HAD A MECHANIC INSPECT THE ISSUE AS I WAS FEARING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. UPON INSPECTION HE FOUND THE FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED AND SPEWING FUEL . THE FUMES AND FUEL WERE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND I FEAR THAT I JUST NARROWLY AVERTED DISASTER. FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO ABOUT TO RUST THROUGH AND THE EFFECT OF THAT WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC IN A HIGHWAY OR ANY HARD BRAKING SITUATION THAT COULD INITIATE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO CAUSE THE LINES TO BURST. I AM VERY UPSET THAT GMC HASN'T APPRISED OWNERS OF THIS HAZARDOUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE REPLACED ALL AFFECTED COMPONENTS AND FEEL THAT THIS IS CAUSE FOR A RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM GMC BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT TAKES PLACE DUE TO BLATANT NEGLIGENCE OF THE MANUFACTURER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS MANY PEOPLE HAVE VOICED CONCERN OVER THIS AND GMC HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE. *TR
