C.p.I. Fuel injector has failed 4 times in the last 40,000 miles resulting in engine shut down, loss of power steering, power brakes, windshield wipers, etc. At highway speeds. I'm told by mechanics that the leaking fuel at the c.p.I. Fuel injection unit is also a potential fire hazard. Chevrolet denies knowledge of such failures, but there is all kinds of information about other failures on the internet at alldata, carpoint.msn, consumer reports, etc. My family is afraid to drive this vehicle due to potential fire hazards, loss of control at highway speeds, being stranded in dark, freezing weather, etc. Please help. Thank you.
