Certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, p/nos. Fp10020-11b1, fp10026-11b1, and fp10027-11b1, sold after january 9, 2007, as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles listed above. the universal pressure regulators (upr) were produced without an o'ring and retainer.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fuel may leak, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy
Delphi will notify owners and replace the upr free of charge. the recall began on april 23, 2007. owners can contact delphi at 877-411-8770.
On certain minivans equipped with second-row bucket seats or captain's chairs and a power sliding door on the passenger side of the vehicle, a passenger using the interior handle to open the power sliding door could be injured.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If a passenger uses the interior handle to open the power sliding door and holds onto the handle while it IS being opened by the motor, the passenger's arm may be pushed into the seat back or armrest and a wrist or lower arm injury may result.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the power sliding door interior handle on the passenger-side. if the vehicle IS equipped with a power or manual sliding door on the driver-side, the interior handle will also be replaced for appearance reasons. note: before the vehicle IS serviced, gm advises owners to not use the interior door handle to open the door. the driver can open and close the door from switches at the driver's position or by using the remote key fob. the driver should tell passengers to use the switch located in front of the door to open or close it. the driver should use the override switch to prevent operation of the power door by children or by others who are not familiar with its use. the owner notification letter mailing will be conducted in phases with the first phase beginning on may 31, 2005. the second phase mailing began on july 18, 2005. the recall began on may 31, 2005. phase 2 began on july 18, 2005. phase 3 (final phase) began on august 24, 2005, to all remaining customers. owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; pontiac at 1-800-620-7668; or oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.
Certain passenger vehicles and MINI vans have lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly in which the retainer tabs were not crimped properly. these and some other retainers used in vehicles assembled between january 1, 1996 and october 31, 1997, could fail and permit the ball bearings to escape.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If this occurs, the pinion shaft can be forced upward during left turns and back down as the steering wheel IS moved back and to the right. if the pinion shaft moves further, the driver will need to exert more effort to turn the steering wheel, similar to a vehicle without power assisted steering. if the pinion shaft moves even further, the driver will require much higher effort to turn left and may not be able to turn the wheel as much as intended. with the maximum pinion shaft movement, which requires internal gear component damage, the driver can encounter high resistance to turning left, followed by unintended power assist to the right. in any of these conditions, a crash could occur.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new lower pinion bearing unless inspect of the existing bearing indicates that replacement of the gear assembly IS necessary. owner notification began january 24, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.

The fuel guage gives false reading, the needle will position way pass the "full". after putting in fuel, it will move to the "full" mark or show just any amount without the tank being full. It IS avery hard act to follow especially in these times when I cannot afford to top off the tank. in other words, this fuel guage IS very unruly and has its own way in registering what it feels like showjng me. IS there a recall?. How can I correct this embarassing situation?. *tr

Driving in rush hour traffic, on congested freeway, at 55 mph the brake pedal went to the floor without any warning. The traffic in front of me was slowing down and I almost rear ended the car in front of me. Dropped it in first gear, applied emergency brake and made an evasive lane change to get to the shoulder and let it slow down by itself. Pulled off on the freeway shoulder got out of the car and I noticed the brake line right underneath the driver side leaking at a high rate and brake fluid puddling underneath the vehicle. Only god's grace that I didn't rear end anybody or gotten into a car crash. Disappointed IS not a strong enough word to use for what happened. I have never experienced a brake line burst in a vehicle. Doing some online searches on gm brake line failures I found a lot of reported cases of gm vehicles having severely rusted brake lines that had catastrophic failure with the brake pedal going to the floor. Hope that you'll open an investigation into these concerns in order to avoid any future incidents.

In nov. Of 2007 I was having a problem with my van overheating and was losing engine coolant but could not see where it was going. I later found out that I had a faulty intake manifold gasket, which cost me over 800.00 to repair. Not long after the gasket was repaired the van started overheating again and I discovered that the water pump was blown, that was another 174.00 to repair. Now I am still having the same problem with the van overheating and coolant leaking and I was just informed that it IS a head gasket which IS going to cost me over 1700.00 to fix. This IS ridiculous, I know 3 other people who have the same make and model van as I do with the same engine and they are all also having the same problems with their vans. It seems to me that this IS too much of a coincidence and that their should have been a recall in place to rectify the problems with these faulty parts. These are extremely expensive repairs and I personally do not have an extra $1700.00 just laying around, so now I am faced with the choice of junking my van and trying to get a new one which I cannot afford or fixing it which I also cannot afford. *Tr

My wife's 1997 pontiac transport mini-van has the plastic headlight lenses, that are now yellow and cloudy, and nighttime visibility IS so poor that she doesn't drive at night unless she has to. also my 2000 nissan frontier truck IS succumbing to the same problem, but it IS not as severe yet. I have tried high-output zenon, bluelight, and ultra white bulbs but the yellowing/cloudy plastic lenses greatly reduces the performance qualities of these bulbs. I cannot see the safety benefits of having plastic headlight lenses that won't shatter like glass in an accident if you cannot see more than 20 feet in front of your vehicle at night. I still believe glass IS the best material for headlights, I see cars and trucks from the 70'S, 80'S, and early 90'S that still have great working headlights. *tr

Replaced the upper intake manifold gasket in 2006 . in the last 3 weeks, the van was not putting out much heat and the temp gauge did not rise up to the normal level. I drove into town 6 miles at 60 miles an hour and the temperature gauge went all the way up. I let it cool down and drove to the mechanic ( 1 mile ) and it was going back up again. they replaced the water pump, radiator cap and thermostat and I picked up the van. within 1 mile it started to heat up again. I returned it . they believe the head gaskets are blown. the estimate that I got to repair it IS 1200.00. I got 3 estimates with the high of 1600.00. I already replaced one and now have to re replace it and the other. I'm getting really tired of this but I have to fix it because I cannot sell it if it doesn't run. hope they fix this in the next vehicles. I wouldn't recommend it due to this defect. It was also very scary because I was dealing with temperatures of -20 with wind. *nm

My transmission has been replaced once and I am already having problems with it again, it's only been a year since it was replaced. Both of my front windows are power windows and I have had to replace the little motor for them to go up and down twice and the passenger IS not working again. My left front signal light never works, it gets replaced and a day later IS not working again. I have problems with my steering wheel, it IS very hard to turn right, this was already fixed and I'm having problems again. I need to know if there are or there where any recalls related to my problems. I have read about other people having transmission problems. Thank you. *jb

When I was traveling down a residential street at lesss then 25 and hit a bump the spare tire became disengaed from the undercarriage of my van. The cable that was connected to the center cap that was used to secure the tire to the undercarriage of my van had rusted through. The tire bounced on the road and camme to rest in the street and became an obstacale to on coming traffic, one vehicle had to make an abrupt stop. if the spare had disengaged on the expressway it would have created a significant hazard with the possibility of fatal consequences. I contacted the pontiac customer assitance center on two ocassions and was told that someoone would get back to me but have not had any reponse. The defect has not been corrected to date. *nm

I was turning the steering wheel to the left to parallel park next to the curb, then I heard a loud pop noise. When I went to turn the steering wheel to the right it began very hard to turn the wheel. After leaving the store and from that point on every attempt I made to make a right turn, it was extremely difficult. After arriving home I noticed leaking coming from under my van. I called the location pontiac dealership about the my steering problem and they indicated that the van had been serviced for a recall in february of 2003 for the rack and pinion recall something related to the steering. So I checked the internet for the recall and it mentioned the same exactly problems that I was having now. I called the dealership back and they said that the recall was already done once. I told them it IS doing the same exactly thing, and when I went to check the steering one more time I noticed a huge puddle under my van of reddish brown fluid. Come to find out it was transmission leaking and when I turn the engine on the fluid came pouring out like a faucet. I contacted a transmission shop to take a look at my van and the mechanic told me that the axle was pulled out of the transmission by the steering system. The mechanic also mentioned that he has done quite a few of these same exactly kind of mini-van with the same exactly problem. He said that he knew exactly how the fix this problem because he does it quite often. The repair costed $1,800.00 dollars and the mechanic told me now I need to take back to the dealer to have them repair that rack and pinion again. Now this has me very upset, I'm so mad about this because this definitely sounds like a manufacture problem and I should not have to pay for this. I sent the van to karco tranmissions in lancaster, california where I live and the phone number IS 661-723-1164. This does not make any sense to me, so this IS why I am filing this complaint.

Wife making left turn onto busy road, van would not respond to to turning the wheel. Side impact at 40 mile + from semi. Injuries sustained by wife, broken hip crushed left arm , fractured tail bone and fractured base of skull. Daughter and friend also injured but released with minor injuries. We did not know there was a problem with the van until after the accident. That IS when I recieved the recall notice. Nothing could be done at this point because the van had been crushed into a cube of scrap metal. I waited this long to file a complant due to legal advice, but as you can see the big guy almost always wins. We recieved no compensation from gm.

On november 18, 2002, odi opened a preliminary evaluation (pe02-086) to evaluate allegations of rear axle trailing arm failures in the subject vehicles (u-van) which included two reporting crashes.on april 9, 2003, odi upgraded pe02-086 to an engineering analysis (ea03-005) to continue its examination of the issue. The trailing arm design in these vehicles has been used in the u-van from my 1997 through the present.the gm analysis concluded that the subject trailing arms could crack or buckle if they were damaged during assembly, pre-delivery handling, or subjected to certain service related abuse conditions such as improper towing or jacking.analysis of odi and gm data has identified 19 incidents of rear axle trailing arm failures in the subject vehicles.there have been no new reports to odi or gm in the last 12 months and only one new complaint in the last 21 months. Due to the low complaint rate and the absence of a continuing trend in reported failures, a safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.accordingly, this investigation IS closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist. The agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances. For additional information, see the attached closing report.
