This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle has a fuel burning smell. Engine check light is on, and there is a clanking sound. Dealer replaced catalytic converter, did not remedy problem. At this time dealer informed consumer fuel injection system needed to be replaced.
Vehicle experienced failure of the sb 99066 component (fuel injection system) on several occasions prior to notification causing the engine to hesitate and shut down.
Not happy having to pay 630$ for a part that should not fail.already cost me 65$to find out why the truck was hard to start.the truck ran worst after they did test to tell me it was the central power injection.
This is the second fuel injector assembly in this car in 114,000 miles to fail. The cars mileage is drastically reduced, it smells of unburnt fuel and runs poorly. GMC is unwilling to provide any compensation for an obvious premature failure of this part.
Carbon build up in the system has had me to have the egr valves replaced and vacuumed out 3 times. The whole fuel injection system was replaced in Jan 2000 and it is doing it again. Rear center seat belts will not lock on occasions. Oil lines continuously leak
The fuel injection system has failed twice and my mechanic has stated that GM is aware that the part is a problem and is unreliable and is subject to breakdown at any time. GMC Jimmy 1995 fuel injection system part #17113384. This has cost me over $1,600 in parts and labor to repair the part twice. The first breakdown was after 37,500 miles and the second failure of a replacement part was 10 months and 9,000 miles later. I do not feel comfortable in travelling far from home as the part may fail at any time. This vehicle has already had 7 recalls for various problems. I am not pleased with this product.
Central injector failed and we were told by our mechanic and the dealer who sold him the $400 part, that this is a defect in these cars. There have been many failures of this part and they felt we should be reimbursed. This also should be a recall. GMC rejected our request.
