I have a problem with carbon building up in my ezra valve of my 1995 Chevrolet Astro van. This has been a constant problem. I have had the carbon blasted out more than once. I replaced the entire fuel injection system. I add products to help with the carbon problem, but it still continues. I contacted Chevrolet customer care and was told to take my van to my local dealer. I have no more money to put into this van and Chevrolet doesn't seem to care. It now sits in the driveway because cannot driv eit, it does start but dies at every stop.

I have a problem with the egr valve. GM offered to replace it before 75000 miles. Nfortunately my van has more than that and Chevrolet dealer will not replace it under warranty. I think it should be consider for a safety recall campaign since when egr fails it stops the engine operation and power steering and power brakes. I almost hit hit cars waiting at the toll at Florida turnpike when my egr got stuck while letting of the gas pedal to begin braking. I installed brand new egr but that didnt fix the problem. No help from GM.

When coming to a complete stop vehicle lurched forward about five feet. Also, vehicle stalled intermittently, and had a rough idle. Vehicle was taken to the dealer four times and mechanic replaced the lower intake gasket/ egr valve twice, and fuel injectors. None of these repairs resolved the problem.

I recieved a letter of recall on the egr value the same day I picked up my car from the shop, where they had informed me that the egr was sticking open and they had cleaned and replaced it. All plugs fouled. Two weeks later the same sticking is occurring. GM says that my vehicle is past the milage for reimbusement of repair cost. Can they be made responsible for repair expense regardless of the milage?
