I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM OF THIS PART CREATING A WILD HORSE VEHICLE AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. SO FAR GM IS NOT HELPING, THE LAST VISIT WAS CONFIRMED THIS PUMP WAS THE PROBLEM AND A NEW PUMP. WAS NOT MADE AND GM ONLY OFFERS A OVERHAULED UNIT. THE CURRENT PUMP IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE CUTTING OFF AND AT TIMES TURNING INTO A FULL THROTTLE. STANADYNE THE COMPANY MAKING THE PUMP IS IN DENIAL THE PUMP DOES THIS. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HESITATE PUTTING ANYTHING USED ON THIS VEHICLE, THIS PROBLEM PART IS STILL MANUFACTURED NEW BY STANADYN CORP. I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP REPEATEDLY TO GM AND NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY DIVISION. FORGET ANY MONEY FOR THE PROBLEM, AND THE IGNORANCE OF THIS FACTUAL PROBLEM, I WOULD JUST LIKE A SAFE VEHICLE WITH OUT ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS THAT GO BAD. *TR

WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO MOBILE ACCIDENT HITTING A SCHOOL BUS HEAD ON AND HIT BY A TRUCK IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BED OF TRUCK, GOING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD. I BELIEVE IF THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT HAD WORKED PROPERLY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INJURED SO BAD. BECAUSE OF THE BURNING IN MY LEGS, BADLY BRUISED RIBS. ETC., THEY DID NOT DO ANY EEGS. I HAVE HAD A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS FROM SEVERE HEADACHES TO UNCONTROLLABLE MOODSWINGS. I AM HOPING YOU DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS FROM EXPERIENCING WHAT I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH; LIKE BEING DISABLED FROM WORK AT THE AGE OF 38. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE POLICE REPORT SAID THE AIRBAG DID DEPLOY, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE TO PROVE THAT IT DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

GM 6.5L DIESEL 94-2000. THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP FUEL SOLENOID DRIVER FAILS WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING LOSS OF ENGINE POWER/POWER STEERING/AND BRAKES. A RECENT FAILURE WHILE TOWING A 7500 TRAILER CAUSED A NEAR ACCIDENT WHILE ON A CURVE DUE TO THE EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN STEERING WHINE THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS WHICH IS VERY COMMON. *LA
