What owners wrote
Fuel leak at #4 injector dripping onto exhaust manifold. Extreme fire hazard! I am a certified master mechanic and I am going to fix this my self. There is a recall on this vehicle with this engine but the chevy dealer said it was not for this VIN #[xxx] (1996 chevy s10 pu 2.2 liter engine).
While driving, the brake line leaked. As a result, the pedal became mushy and was unable to grab. The dealer stated the fuel tank was designed too close together, therefore, dirt settled on the line and caused rusting. The front brake pads and rear brake shoes were installed on the vehicle. When the repairs were being made, the technician(s) noticed the front pads wore out prematurely due to the defect. (AC delco durastop brakes)
