While pulling off the highway at approximately 30 MPH vehicle lost complete steering control. Vehicle towed to independent repair shop for repairs. *ak the repair shop determined that the engine dropped causeing the steering column to separate.
While driving vehicle will completely shutdown without warning, cause unknown. *ak thee vehicle stall at three different occasions and fixed by the dealer. First time they said it could be plugs, they replaced, second they replaced egr valve but the problem continued and at last injectors was guesed to be the cause and was fixed still no remedy is found for stalling.
The throttle sticking is very hazardous and unsafe. Also the continuing of overheating due to a manufactured item is of great concern to me. I have 2 small children and do not want to be left by roadside somewhere at night due to this malfunction.
1991 chevrolet lumina z34 w/3.4l engine. Was a known problem by shop foreman @ smedley's chevrolet of vandalia, ohio....joe. No safety defect listed in the summary.
While driving at 35 to 45 MPH vehicle will shut down, causing a loss of power without warning. Sometimes it will start right back up, and sometimes it takes 15 to 20 minutes. Dealer has been contacted, and replaced ttc solenoid once, but that did not solve the problem. Dealer said that owner will have to wait until vehicle breaks down completely to find the problem. *ak
Exhaust valves are sticking, causing the timing belt to slip. We have replaced the belt and the problem immediately recurred. Gm has been aware of the problem for years, but has been fairly quiet about resolving it. They produced a number of 3.4 engines without chrome plated exhaust valves, and the softer valves distorting and stick, causing the engine to jump timing. This is a sophisticated dual overhead cam v-6 and tolerances are critical. Gm issued a directive to replace the cylinder heads on the affected engines, however ours was not included in the recall, even though it was built in the plant that produced the engines and is in line with the sequence of id numbers. General motors is disavowing the problem, even though it is a known defect. They have replaced a number of cylinder heads and exhaust valves, and I believe they should acknowlege their error in our car and repair our engine. Because of the soft exhaust valves, there is no alternative but to make major repairs, all due to improper manufacturing.
