1 Fuel Injector problem of the 2002 Chevrolet 2500

Failure Date: 10/29/2011

On 10/29/2011 the engine was blowing grayish white smoke. The engine started losing oil pressure. Checked the oil, found diesel in the oil. The oil level was 6" higher on dipstick. It is the fuel injection system on the 2002 duramax diesel. The fuel injectors have failed. I understood that Chevrolet has put a recall on all 2002 and early 2003 models. Took it to derek scott auto park which is the closest Chevrolet dealer/service department. After running diagnostics they told us that the replacement of the fuel injectors would be covered 100% by gm. Later called back and said we would have to pay half in the amount of $2,251. 88. They will not allow us to talk to the gm rep. We need to know if this is valid or not. We thought recalls were paid for by the company I. E. Gm in this case. Thank you for your help in this matter.

2 Fuel Injector problem of the 2004 Chevrolet 2500

Failure Date: 06/17/2010

I had my fuel injectors replaced in June of 2010 under an extended warranty from gm with no out of pocket cost. 18 months later I am having the same problem, fuel injector failure as diagnosed by a local cheverolet dealer, but being told that I am now out of warranty and it will cost $3500+ to repair. If there is a defect in the injectors, previously covered for 7 years/200,000 miles, why are the "new improved" injectors only coming with 12 months/12,000 miles. Gm has a fuel injector problem with their duramax diesels that need to be addressed. I have read hundreds of post from people with the same problems. And Chevrolet is not offering any help with any of them. I am dealing with gm now, and so far have gotten nowhere with the issue.

3 Fuel Injector problem of the 2001 Chevrolet 2500

Failure Date: 08/03/2002

After going to 2 dealerships with complaints of my truck "dying"; which the first computer read-out said "erratic fuel pressure" and the second one saying "large fuel leak detected" my truck finally broke down on me. The mechanic who worked on my truck was an employ of a Chevrolet dealership and was supposed to have been certified on diesels (per their website) did not know what he was doing without a manual, replaced a fuel injector which I was told after the work was completed that it would not be covered under my 5yr/100,000 mile warranty that my warranty book says it is covered. It took him longer than normal since he wasn't certified and had never worked on one before and the warranty should have covered it.
