FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
FOR A WHILE THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN WHINING. BUT WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT HEAR IT. SO IT CAME BACK HOME. THEN I SENT IT BACK AGAIN. THEY DECIDED IT WAS THE FUEL SENDER. AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILEAGE.BUT I CALLED GM AND THEY TOOK CARE OF IT. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY THE PROBLEM WAS STILL NOT TAKEN CARE OF.WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT JUST DIES , HAS DONE THAT TO ME SEVERAL TIMES. ONE TIME CROSSING A FOUR LANE OF TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NOT AT A BUSY TIME. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SO THEY REPLACED THE FUEL SENDER. HAS NOT QUIT THE NOISE SINCE AND DIES WITH NO WARNING. TO ME I THINK IT IS DANGEROUS. BUT THEY ASKED ME TO DRIVE IT UP THERE. ALREADY HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL SENDER AND THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE UNIT. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ALL OF THE MERCHANDISE IS THIS BAD ANY MORE OR THIS IS JUST A FLUKE. WE HAVE TWO OTHER CHEV. ONE WITH 140,000MILES AND ONE WITH 265,000 MILES SO I DON'T THINK WE NEGLECT OUR VEHICLES. OTHERWISE WE WOULDNL'T GET THE MILEAGE. *AK

#706043April 27, 1999
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THROTTLE STICKS. DIAGNOSIS=CARBON BUILD UP IN THROTTLE LINE. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN LATE MODEL CHEVY ENGINES. WAS TOLD THAT THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME, ESP. IN BLAZERS. THROTTLE CAN STICK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. CHEVY CALLING IT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH DEALER TECH SAID IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THE THROTTLE STICKING AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! FIRST INCIDENT IN SEPT. 1998 AT 25,000 MILES, FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM OCCCURED AGAIN, WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOW CONSIDERED A MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND AM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF THE THROTTLE WILL STICK AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.
