| I have a 2004 chevy colorado crew cab 4x4 with the z71 off road package. i ran over a stick about 3/4 to 1-1/2 in dia. and it broke the fuel line (that is pvc not metal). i think gm should look at this more closely as it is a major hazard on the road. i notified gm on monday 12-01-2008 and they said that, could not have happened. well it did happen and if it happened to me i am sure it has before and will happen again. please let me know how i should proceed with this major road safety hazard. thank you, randy schmidt *tr | |||
