| Design fault - air pump is mounted low on the frame of 2005 buick rainier. on 10/30/07 it failed and had to be replaced. mileage at that time was 30,947. pump failed again because of water intrusion. since it is mounted low without any shield. i would expect rain water to splash up as you drive. pump was replaced a second time on 12/12/08, mileage was 39,994. the second pump only lasted 9,000 miles and gm refuses to pay for replacement ( the warranty is for 12,000 miles or 12 months, your part is 13 months old). it had to be replaced for a third time on 1/5/09, mileage was 40,143. thus, third pump only lasted 149 miles. *tr | |||
