FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
THE FUEL INJECTORS IN MY CAR HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE 12/14/01, 1/28/02 THEN AGAIN 3/28/02. THE MILEAGE BETWEEN 12/14/01 & 1/28/02 WAS LESS THAN 2,000 MILES & THE NEXT TIME WAS LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME IS COST $179.00 AND THE SECOND TIME $175.00. THE THIRD TIME $25.00 & I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE & BASCIALLY HE TOLD ME I WAS USING BAD GAS OR POOR QUALITY OF GAS. THE ONLY GAS I GET IS FROM SHELL, EXXON OR TEXACO. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. HAS NOT HELP IN THE PROBLEM IN ANYWAY. MY MECHANIC SAID THE INJECTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED & THAT WOULD COST $1500.00 OR MORE. THE MERCHANIC GOT A SERVICE BULLECTIN #99-06-04-005A ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE HAVING CLOGGED FUEL INJECTORS CAUSING THE CAR TO RUN POORLY WITH NOT ENOUGH FUEL GETTING TO THE ENGINE, & CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. HE ALSO SAID HE HAS A LOT OF THESE ENGINES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS. I JUST WANT OLDSMOBILE RECALL THIS & HAVE IT FIXED.*AK
