problem #3

Jan 172006

DeVille 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 173,000 miles
: the consumer stated while having the fuel injector repaired, the independent repair shop personnel said the fuel rail would need to be removed in order to repair the fuel injector. Due to the fuel rail being made of plastic, there was a chance the fuel rail would break and have to be replaced. The dealership informed the serviceman the fuel rail was now being made of metal because the plastic was too weak.
