problem #2

Nov 122007

Corolla 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,071 miles
1- an undetectable event caused a small hole in the fuel line of a Toyota Corolla. The air in the garage where the car was parked overnight was permeated with the odor of gasoline, and introduced the real possibility of an explosion. 2- the failure is a weakness in the strength and durability of the fuel line of Toyota Corollas. The fuel line had a small puncture and filled the confined area with gasoline vapor. 3 - Toyota required a replacement of the fuel line and gas tank, claiming that a rodent chewed through the fuel line. The new gas tank has the same design flaws and weaknesses as the old gas tank and can easily be punctured. Fuel line problems have happened in more than one Toyota Corolla that the company has owned; one of which burst into flames. (these are to be the subjects of separate complaints.) that a rodent (or any other insignificant cause) may damage a fuel line in this way is a serious weakness that presents a clear danger to anyone owning and driving this car. Toyota customer service refused to acknowledge or escalate this as a problem to management. The Toyota dealer also refused to recognize this fire hazard as a problem and communicated that it should be accepted as normal. The damaged plastic fuel line is available.
