FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED FOR FAMILY VEHICLE, AFTER HAVING IT FOR SIX MONTHS AND 4,000 MILES THE BRAKE LINES HAVE FAILED. RUSTED TO THE POINT OF TOTAL REPLACEMENT, AS WELL AS THE FUEL LINE BEING RUSTED SO BAD THAT THE REPAIR SHOP WOULD NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE LINES WITHOUT REPLACING FUEL LINES, WE HAVE SIX CHILDREN THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS... PLEASE DO SOMETHING, IT IS EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS. I SEE ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE FELT USELESS, WHY IS THIS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF? HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS SAME PROBLEM? AND IF IT IS A KNOWN FACT, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO KIND OF ANNOUNCEMENT MADE PUBLICLY? I HATE TO THINK THAT OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD TAKE THAT RISK, WHERE IS THE SAFETY THAT WE AS AMERICANS ARE GUARANTEED BY OUR LEADERS AND OFFICES?

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION AND SUBSEQUENT MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS COULD NOT DETECT THE FOLLOWING IMPENDING PROBLEM. MY FAMILY AND I WERE RETURNING FROM A WEEKEND VACATION IN ARIZONA ON OUR WAY HOME. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT JUST PAST THE CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA STATE LINE I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND OUR VEHICLE LOST POWER. WE WERE TOWED BACK INTO NEEDLES, CA AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED. WE WERE FORCED TO STAY THE NIGHT IN A LOCAL HOTEL AS A NEW PUMP HAD TO BE INSTALLED IN THE GAS TANK. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH SUBURBAN FUEL PUMPS AND SOME RECALLS HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS AN AVENUE I CAN PURSUE FOR REPAIR COMPENSATION AS THIS WAS A COSTLY REPLACEMENT. SINCERELY, [XXX]. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

I STOPPED AT A STORE, DID SOME SHOPPING, CAME BACK OUT AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TAKEN TO A SHOP. THE NEXT MORNING I GOT A CALL FROM THE SHOP THAT THE TRUCK STARTED JUST FINE. I HAD THEM RUN $280 WORTH OF TEST TO FIND NOTHING THAT STOOD OUT BUT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE FUEL PUMP. THEY CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER AND EVERYTHING HAS WORKED SINCE; UNTIL TODAY. NOW MY TRUCK WILL NOT START. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF SUBMISSIONS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES ABOUT THE FAILURE PROBLEMS OF GM FUEL PUMPS (ON SUBURBANS) AND HAVE TWO GOOD FRIENDS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THIS. OBVIOUSLY I AM GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED, BUT IT SHOULD BE TIME FOR GM TO TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR A POORLY DESIGNED SYSTEM INSTEAD OF PROFITTING OFF OF THE CONSUMERS WOES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

IN MAY 2004 I NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL IN MY GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING IT WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE GAS TANK GUARD ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. AFTER REMOVING THE GUARD A SMALL PINHOLE LEAK WAS DETECTED IN THE TANK. THE TANK HAD RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO AN INABILITY OF WATER, SALT, AND DEBRIS TO BE CLEARED FROM THE GUARD BECAUSE IT CONTAINS NO DRAIN HOLES. I REPAIRED THE TANK WITH AN OVER THE COUNTER REPAIR KIT DUE TO THE NEED OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET BUT WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I FIXED THE TANK MYSELF THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. ON 11/07/04 I AGAIN NOTICED GAS FUMES IN THE GARAGE. UPON LOOKING I DISCOVERED TWO NEW HOLES RUSTED THROUGH THE TANK. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I FEAR THE TANK IS RUSTED TOO THIN TO RELY ON FOR SAFETY REASONS. I BELIEVE A GENERAL ENGINEERING OVERSIGHT WOULD ALLOW A PLASTIC BOWL SHAPED GUARD TO BE STRAPPED BELOW A METAL TANK WITHOUT AT LEAST SOME DRAIN HOLES TO ALLOW WATER TO ESCAPE. I'M WRITING BECAUSE WE KEEP THE SUBURBAN IN EXCELLENT REPAIR AND I'M POSSITIVE THERE ARE OTHER SUCH DESIGNED TANKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

VEHICLE IS A 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN K2500 WITH GM 6.5 LITER TURBO-DIESEL ENGINE. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC (I-270) MULTIPLE TIMES ON OCTOBER 21, 2003. I CALLED THE DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE LIKELY CAUSE WAS THE ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION PUMP, WHICH GM HAS WARRANTED FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. THE DEALER THEREAFTER REPLACED THE INJECTION PUMP UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE I AM PLEASED THAT THE PART WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME, I BELIEVE THAT THIS REPRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE DEFECT. GM IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE THAT THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, OR IT WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE AFTER THE REST OF THE VEHICLE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IN THIS CASE, THERE WAS NO HARM, BUT THESE ENGINE ARE OFTEN USED IN TRUCKS AND LARGE SUVS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR TOWING AND HAULING. FOR EXAMPLE, WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO TOW A HORSE TRAILER THAT IS WEIGHS OVER 5000 LBS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, IT LOSES POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER WHEN TOWING A LARGE TRAILER IS VERY HIGH, AND THE STALLING OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING.
