Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Raw gas odor in exhaust, sometimes exhaust has foul odor, engine runs rough at times. Was taken to dealer in april 2003, could find nothing wrong in their diagnostics, symptoms have slowly gotten worse over time. Suspect latent defect in fuel injection system causing a fuel leak inside of engine (intake manifold). Since a dlealer can't find the problem with normal diagnostics, this is an obvious emissions control defect as well as a potential safety defect. This would affect all vehicles with this engine, this defect is not specific to this model.”
NHTSA complaint #10060423, filed 2004-03, 94,000 miles“I had to replace the fuel inejctor system on this vehicle. The mechanic that repaired this informed me that this is a common problem with this general motors engine. The cost was close to $500. The faulty injector caused raw gasoline to flow down into the crankcase thinning out the engine oil. Raw fuel was dripping out of my exhaust pipe. This is a potentially dangerous situation as it could lead to an engine fire and possible personal injury. Gm has know that these injectors were faulty and I feel that there should be a recall on this. …”
NHTSA complaint #755886, filed 2001-12“Upon attemting to start engine, it will not start, instead will shake; then, cut off. Had to try and try for engine to start, mechanic was contacted, and said problem was fuel injector. The consumer was asking for reimbursment”
