2004-2005 Bentley GT models have been designed with plastic vacuum lines that runs over the transmission that feeds runs also in the inside bay and up to the intake manifold that over time and excessive heat do crack which requires a drive train, engine and transmission out to remedy the situation. In event if the vacuum lines over the transmission suffers a major failure while driving it will result in the vehicle stalling immediately which can result in causing immediate harm to drivers and dependant on the situation grave harm or death can result. Many owners have decided to remedy issue before it gets to the point of catastrophic failure as symptoms such as misfires, cel light and other issues. Bentley motors have ignored this issue for years and a thorough investigation needs to be conducted to hold bentley motors accountable. Bentley has made changes to design in recent times but any independent Bentley specialists would support what I am stating.
