1992 Chevrolet Astro

C.P.I. FUEL INJECTOR HAS FAILED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 40,000 MILES RESULTING IN ENGINE SHUT DOWN, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, ETC. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I'M TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE LEAKING FUEL AT THE C.P.I. FUEL INJECTION UNIT IS ALSO A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. CHEVROLET DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH FAILURES, BUT THERE IS ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER FAILURES ON THE INTERNET AT ALLDATA, CARPOINT.MSN, CONSUMER REPORTS, ETC. MY FAMILY IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS, LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BEING STRANDED IN DARK, FREEZING WEATHER, ETC. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.*AK

I WAAS JUST INFORMED THAT GMC HAS A SPECIAL POLICY INVOLVING FIXING OF A VERY DANGEROUS FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM CMSI FOR CA. CHEVROLET, ASTRO VANS. MY VAN WAS INCLUDED IN THIS POLICY. GMC REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS WITHIN THE 10 YEAR SPAN. THE PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER SINCE THE VAN IS OVER 100,000 MILES THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT? THE FUEL INJECTION , FUEL REGULATION ETC. IS A MESS AND HAS BEEN A TOTAL NIGHTMARE. STALLING IN TRAFFIC, LURCHING FORWARD, VERY STRONG GAS FUMES INSIDE AND OUT, BUCKING, LACK OF POWER ETC. IT HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS. I HAVE TRIED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH ALWAYS COMES BACK TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, SPENT MUCH MONEY TO NO AVAIL. NOW I FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL OR 'POLICY' AND I DIDN'T NEED TO HAVE MYSELF OR PASSENGERS IN DANGER AND SMELLING GAS FUMES ALL THIS TIME AND GM REFUSES TO CORRECT PROBLEM. I EVEN HAVE A CASE NUMBER C03196007 AND I'VE TALKED TO ANGELETTE IN CUSTOMER RELATIONS FOR GM AS SHE SAID THEY WON'T FIX IT. SHE REFERRED ME TO YOU?? AND TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU?? I TRANSPORT TEENAGE BASEBALL PLAYERS IN MY VEHICLE, I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. PLEASE HELP!! *AK

THE FIRST FUEL INJECTION UNIT FAILED AT 103,000 MILES AND I HAD IT RELPLACED AT HARBOR CHEVROLET, AND NOW THE SECOND ONE IS FAILING 35,000 MILES LATER. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND ON RESTART WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH. THIS OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN AN INTERSECTION. A CHEVROLET DEALER MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THOSE UNITS, BUT THAT HIS HANDS WERE TIED BY COMPANY POLICY. *AK
