Additonal failure dates / mi: 8-11-99 @20544 mi., 12-2-99 @ 21932 mi., 6-30-00 @24992mi, 10-13-00 @26737 mi., as you can see the problem repetes at about every 2000 - 2500 miles. Chevy says its a problem with the gas blends in ca & NY only" if this is true then why are they not having problems with all of there engines" the injection ports are defective and they refuse to fix ro repalce them. Insted they bring the van in for a "injector cleaning" per Chevy bulletin. The engine runs so rough it shakes the whole van! the fuel injector design is defective and needs to be fixed/recalled!

Chevrolet doesn't care about using cheap parts- after warranty they say trade it in.numerous things wrong with van and have talked to Chevrolet many times. Can't use back door of van, run out of gas, knobs fall of interior devices, asked Chevy to help since 37,000 and problems still happening as I go, can't afford to fix and can't afford to trade. Another nice shove it job by Chevrolet they don't stand by their prduct and their product is not safe please respond.

Defective fuel injector plug needs to be cleaned every 15,000 for which the manufacturer has an extended warranty. This may cause a crash.
