My car has had a continuous problem with my fuel injections, specifically injections 3 and 4. number 3 has been replaced twice and 4 once. This started 11/14/2001 with the most current happening on 11/12/2003 after supposedly being repaired on 11/5/2003 and 10/17/2003. I have spoke to GM on separate occasions with the same response. Because my car now has 98,200 miles on they can't help me. The first time that the injections started to give me a problem it was covered under an extended warranty and at that time I only had 64,047 miles on my vehicle. It is my understanding from a reliable source that the injections are producing numerous problems but to date there has been no recall done. I'm spending a lot of money to fix something that apparently can't be fixed. I think something needs to be done.

Consumer is having problems with fuel injection system:injectors. One year ago she had them replaced by the local mechanic, then twice they were cleaned by the dealer. Afterwards, she had to have 3 of them replaced. All of this because the engine light came on, stating that engine needed to be serviced soon. All of this started when vehicle started to jerk, and she had it checked. Consumer would like to have help with all of this servicing.
