Factory rebuilt engine installed 6/25/99 motor is still using oil and has fouled spark plugs
I had received a letter awhile back stating gm was having problems with the linear egrs on the 4.3l engines and if any problems occurred to bring my vehicle into a gm dealership to have corrected. The prblem has occurred, but I can't find the letter and the dealership is telling me that tsb was only on their trucks.
I recieved a letter of recall on the egr value the same day I picked up my car from the shop, where they had informed me that the egr was sticking open and they had cleaned and replaced it. All plugs fouled. Two weeks later the same sticking is occurring. Gm says that my vehicle is past the milage for reimbusement of repair cost. Can they be made responsible for repair expense regardless of the milage?
I received a letter stating that 1995 4.3l engines were having trouble with the linear exhaust recirulation valve. It describes the symptoms which my van has started exhibiting. While they were offering to fix vehicles with such problems they limited it to vehicles to under 75k miles. My van has 82k. My point was chevy recognized there was a problem with this valve (whether it was over or under 75k) it was defected...they have refuse to offer assitance even though they admit it is a problem...where can I go for help
