AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. GOT IN THERE THIS MORNING 7/15 AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT FOR A MINUTE INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. COULDNT EVEN TURN MY AC ON OR OFF. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE GOT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS LOOKING AT A 2 WEEK WAIT BUT I COULD DROP IT OFF ON 7/18 AND THEY WOULD GET TO IT.

WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A 4" CRACK IN THE DASH THAT WAS NOT THERE LAST NIGHT. IT STARTS AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND GOES TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF BLACK PLASTIC STICKING OUT OF THE CRACK. NOW I WONDER IF SOMEONE TOUCHES IT, THE AIR BAG WILL INFLATE. IS THIS SAFE OR NOT?

THE DASH IS CRACKING AND CHEVY SHARED THAT IT COST 1500 TO REPLACE SO THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO PAY $600 AND THEY WILL PAY THE REST. THE TRUCK HAS 44600 MILES I HAVE NOT REPLACE THE TIRES OR BRAKES YET IT IS PARKED UNDER A TREE MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY ROAD WHEN MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST POWER, I RECEIVED A WARNING FROM MY DASHBOARD SAYING FUEL FILTER NEEDS REPLACING AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOST ENGINE POWER WHICH RESULTED IN NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT BECAME DEAD. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CP4 FUEL INJECTION PUMP HAD FAILED RESULTING IN FUEL BEING STARVED FROM THE ENGINE AND THE RESULT WAS THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. THE REPAIRS ALONE FOR THIS SINGLE FAILURE ARE $8550 BECAUSE THIS PUMP HAS FOULED ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS AND REGULATORS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. MOST IMPORTANTLY THOUGH, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE IN A POSITION ON HIGHWAY WHERE I HAD NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, AND ON A RELATIVELY STRAIGHT ROAD WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE CURB BEFORE IT BECOME A BIGGER PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL OF THE DURAMAX 6.6L LML ENGINES UTILIZING THIS TYPE OF FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE SYSTEMS AND REPAIR THEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE YET BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS STILL BEING REPAIRED BUT WILL BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY IT WHEN I RECEIVE IT.
