| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Service engine light came on while attempting slow acceleration on an interstate incline. this is the 3rd time this has happened since nov 2001, service center unable to diagnose after one day depite being told about previous symptoms and repairs. on two previous occasions dealership where purchased diagnosed as failed fuel injector and leaking "spider valve". unfortunately on the 2nd time they were unable to diagnose before both catalytic converters were burned out by raw fuel being dumped into the exhaust,resulting in a very large repair bill. only able to identify after i had pointed them to the repair records of 18 months earlier. don't feel that it should be necessary to replace fuel injection components at 18 month intervals on a vehicle that is not abused at all and has all routine maintenance. also dealing with a problem that dumps raw fuel into a hot exhaust system would certainly seem to be a safety hazard.*ak |
