Replying to: mel18 (Sep 22, 2005 12:08 pm) I would further suggest that charging $2000 to fix a problem that they don't know how to fix is bordering on CRIMINAL, both from a personal safety and financial perspective. I am the original owner of this vehicle. I have had it at the GM dealer no less than five times for this fuel injection problem over the 98,000 miles that I have driven the vehicle. Also, this vehicle has never been serviced by anyone other than a certified GM dealer. Today is Sunday October 16 and I am planning to take it in again tomorrow. It almost left me, my wife, and two dogs stranded in the Lowes parking lot while on our way to our weekend retreat on the Gulf of Mexico. The vehicle cut off in the parking while at idle and re started with great difficulty. So we returned home. This telltale stall is first hint that things are not right. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TRIP THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HIJACKED. (more) Of course I haven't always known the extent of this problem. Only after repeated trips to the dealership, over the years, have I come to know that they can't fix or won't fix the problem. Early on, it never crosses your mind that they can't fix the problem. But after 9 years experience, I am here to tell you, they can't. The will put a patch on the problem that gets you 10,000 to 25,000 miles down the road till the fuel injection system fails again. The most confounding thing ,however, is GM knowingly putting the driving public in danger by having a very large vehicle, usually pulling or carrying a very large load-- since it is a diesel, positioned to lose power and control at freeway speeds endangering the vehicle's occupants and surrounding drivers alike with a high speed accident because of the sudden loss of power and resulting confusion that accompanies such loss. It makes no sense, but is a fact! Do yourself a favor and find a diesel shop that may know of a work around to fix the problem because GM doesn't t have it. By the way, I am still under warranty, 9 years now, with two to go. But a warranty that patches the problem is no replacement for a permanent fix. I continue to put up with it because I am in no position to buy a new truck capable of pulling a trailer. So I just have to plan my trips very carefully and have a good towing service, and take the truck in for repair on the first hint of a problem. |

The truck has a vibration around 60kmh. and when driving down the road as the truck bounses because of dips in the road etc, it makes a moning noise that sounds like it's coming from the rear end.. ?? I've had it in for servicing a few times already. They check it out, charge me a bunch of money, and tell me nothings wrong with it.. ? Does anyone have any ideas???
