NHTSA complaint #10041375, filed 2003-10“Engine check light came on,and then after the car was turned off, it would not turn back on. Not thinking this was a major problem, we had the vehicle towed to a neighbors brothers service station. They inspected the vehicle and then told us that the fuel injector(s) pushed gas along the electrical line to the ECM. When they removed some cables to the ECM gasoline poured out. They then took the plastic case off only to find the case was filled with gasoline. They told us they were surprised that the truck had not blown up. We contacted the Chevrolet dealer closest to us. …”
