| 2001 chevy silverado diesel - doing 65 mph on the highway - motor starting skipping and then had a loss of power. diesel fuel can be smelled. pulled off highway and checked the truck. diesel fuel was found blown all over the undercarriage including the exhaust. i was worried that the truck would catch on fire. brought the truck to a chevy dealer to get checked out and found out it was caused by faulty injectors that chevy is aware of but if the truck is over 7 years old and is not covered by the defective injector warranty. i don't understand how they issued a warranty on the part because they were aware that it was defective instead of having the part recalled. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2001 chevrolet silverado 3500. while driving 30 mph, the contact noticed that the oil pressure began dropping and the service engine light illuminated. he stated that diesel fuel was entering into the crankcase. he took the vehicle to a chevrolet dealer regarding a recall notice he received in 2004 for the fuel injectors. he showed general motors the notice before the repair was made. after the repair was performed, general motors learned that he had a salvage title and informed him that he had to pay $4,800 for the repair. the contact stated that the recall notice never stated anything about the vehicle being a salvage vehicle. the vehicle is currently in gm's impound lot because the contact cannot afford to pay for the repair. the purchase date and recall number were unknown. the current and failure mileages were 96,000. | |||

| Re: a 2001 chevrolet pickup in 2002-new. i have 32,000 miles on it. it keeps cutting out and red lights and even driving on the expressway. i took it in and they want me to pay for it. it is virtually new. they said the part comes with a lifetime warranty: and this one does not. they claim the recall was for the diesel pickup only?? *tr | |||
