1 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Prizm

Failure Date: 04/13/2007

2001 chevy prism; check engine light continues to be on. I have put two oxygen sensors on at a cost of over $200. 00, and light still comes on. Mechanics tell me the code says "lean mixture" but don't know what is causing it. Car hesitates when cold, almost throwing you into the windshield, unless you repeatedly pump the accelerator. Mechanics told me that maybe fuel pump is going bad, but it's been three years now, and this hasn't happened. The head liner in vehicle has totally torn and disintegrated, even tho it has been garage kept. Gm will not even consider investigating this problem. No more chevy's for me!! the hesitation in traffic could create a real safety issue.
