“C.p.I. Fuel injector has failed 4 times in the last 40,000 miles resulting in engine shut down, loss of power steering, power brakes, windshield wipers, etc. At highway speeds. I'm told by mechanics that the leaking fuel at the c.p.I. Fuel injection unit is also a potential fire hazard.

A Chevrolet dealer mechanic said that there is a problem with those units, but that his hands were tied by company policy.”

My van was included in this policy. Gmc refuses to fix problem even though it is within the 10 year span. The problems have existed since I've owned the vehicle however since the van is over 100,000 miles they refuse to fix it?
