I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN IN PARK, THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. I HAVE WORKED AROUND IT BY TILTING THE STEERING WHEEL UP AND DOWN SHARPLY SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT WILL THEN ALLOW THE SHIFT. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, SOMETIMES IT IS SEVERAL MONTHS IN BETWEEN FAILURES. I JUST DISCOVERED THAT GM HAD A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM I 1993. SINCE I DID NOT OWN THE CAR THEN, I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THE THEN OWNER WAS NOTIFIED OR WHETHER THE BTSI SOLENOID WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME UNDER THE RECALL PROGRAM.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. I REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, FUSIBLE LINK, AND STARTER WHEN THE IGNITION STARTED TO SMOKE/BURN WHEN STARTING IN THE PARKING LOT. THE REPLACEMENT STARTER FAILED 3 MONTHS LATER AND THE REPLACEMENT FUSIBLE LINK 4 MONTHS LATER. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE POWER WINDOWS REPAIRED 3 TIMES, THE POWER LOCKS TWICE, THE BATTERY TWICE, AND THE TURN SIGNAL/MULTIFUNCTION LEVER ONCE IN 3 1/2 YEARS. A POWER LOCK BROKE AGAIN A FEW WEEKS AGO. *AK

Apr 12, 2000Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery
THE CRIMP ON THE CONNECTOR FOR THE INJECTOR PUMP, FUEL SUPPLY HOSE FAILED, CAUSING THE RUBBER FUEL LINE TO COME LOOSE FROM THE CONNECTOR. GAS FROM THE FUEL PUMP SPRAYED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY THIS OCCURRED JUST AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND NO FIRE OR EXPLOSION OCCURED. IT APPEARED TO BE A POORLY CRIMPED CONNECTOR, AND COULD POSE A SERIOUS HAZARD IN OTHER VEHICLES IF NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT.*AK
