1999 Chevrolet Astro

DT: THE VEHICLES FUEL LINE FELL APART. THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE HOUSE SO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. THE LINES CAME APART WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL LINE BUSTED AND GASOLINE SPEWED. THE MECHANIC INSTRUCTED THE OWNER THAT THE FUEL LINE CAN BE SNAPPED BACK TOGETHER. SO THE OWNER SNAPPED IT BACK TOGETHER. OWNER HAS SPOKEN WITH A DEALERSHIP THAT INSTRUCTED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE.*AK *JB

ENGINE MISFIRES AND RUNS POORLY SETTING OFF THE "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON IN ASTRO VANS AND I SHOULD NOT USE CHEVRON GAS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE ADVICE BECAUSE I NEVER USED THAN BRAND OF GAS. I HAD A RECORD OFF ALL THE BRANDS OF GAS I USED BUT THE DEALER WAS NOT INTERESTED AND I WAS ONLY TOLD TO SWITCH BRANDS. THE SECOND TIME I BROUGHT THE VAN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS TOLD TO SWITCH BRANDS AGAIN. NOW THERE ARE NO BRANDS LEFT TO TRY. EACH TIME THE DEALER ADDED A CLEARNER TO THE GAS TANK AND IDLED THE CAR FOR 45 MINUTES TO "CLEAN" THE STICKING INJECTORS. THE VAN ALSO GETS VERY BAD GAS MILEAGE. I WROTE A LETTER TO GM AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A TECHNICAL PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER MUST SOLVE.
