In sept. 2013, replaced the fuel filter and line with the driveworks brand from advance auto parts. On 3/2/14, the car would not start and we smelled gas. The snap on connection had popped loose at the gas tank and was spewing gasoline when we tried to start the car. On 3/6/14, the line popped loose again when trying to start the car. I pushed it back on and went on my way. Later that day as I was going to return home, the line popped loose again, and again at the stop sign, and again as I tried to back up to get off of the road; a total of 5 times until it would not even stay on while trying to start the car; each time spewing gasoline. Had to buy a replacement fuel line (again driveworks brand) and was able to get home. Now I am feeling leery of this brand of line and connector, so went to auto parts and bought dorman brand connector inserts in case this happens again, and the employee at the parts store said that these parts do not last and wear out. I feel that this is quite dangerous as when the line comes loose, gas spews, the car dies, and you loose power steering, etc. All while on the road. I was grateful that I was not on a major road when this happened, and there was not much traffic.

When car starts up, races fast, ruff shifts into gear, cruise control wont work, and blinker is dim when lights are on.
I was driving on the highway going 70 MPH when my drivers side airbag deployed on its own for no reason.
I had an accident a few months ago and my airbag light was blinking, but didn't deploy. Now I am afraid it will deploy while I'm driving.
1995 oldsmobile cutlass. While driving eastbound on the ohio turnpike when the drivers side air bag deployed and hit the driver on the right arm. *mc the investigating officer could no evidence of damage to explain why the air bag deployed.
Airbag deployed while traveling down a road with no notice and no incident leading to the forementioned deployment. Stunned and confused-driver could not see and applied brakes and turned steering wheel to left to avoid oncoming traffic.
Consumer transmission failed at 47,000 miles. *ts the transmission failed although there were no leaks from the system. *nm updated 03/09/06.
Started engine normally, began forward movement when brake pedal became exceedingly hard, pushed transmission to neutral, and engine revolutions immediately went to 4600 RPM. Could not regain control of engine speed and/or brake function. This failure mode leads to very dangerous out of control condition. This is a design flaw when this 'fail dangerous' mode is permitted.
Intermittent smoke coming from behind steering wheel, headlights high-beam stuck on, turn signals did not work. Repeatedly moving headlight dimmer-lever seemed to temporarily correct problem. Now unable to get any high-beams, smoke comes and goes, turn-signals come and go, horn stopped working entirely.
