Mileage: 79,500

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH. NEXT MORNING AT FIRST START THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION UNDER HOOD, THEN SMOKE. CONSUMER CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE, DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED, AND WAS TOLD FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR HAD EXPLODED. VEHICLE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER . *AK

AFTER DRIVING HAD STOPPED TO PUT FUEL IN VEHICLE. THEN, WHEN TRYING TO RESTART ENGINE DID NOT START, AND VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER . THEY FOUND THAT DEFECT WAS ON ENGINE FAN THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THEN ENGINE HAD BEEN REPLACED TWO MORE TIMES.*AK

BLOWN HEAD GASKET, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. IN REPAIRING THE ENGINE THEY DRILLED THEHOLES TOO BIG AND COULD NOT REINSTALL THE HEADS. HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE. I FELT IT WAS THE GARAGES FAULT THEY DRILLED THE BLOCK WRONG.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. VEHICLE DESCENDED DOWN TWICE 5 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE HIT. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE DEALER INSTALLED VALVE KIT CLEANER , FILTER KIT,AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, SENSOR, GASKET AND SEAL DRIVE. *YH

WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION IN THE ENGINE MANIFOLD, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. REPAIRS WERE MADE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. PLEASE LIST REPAIRS. *AK

IN MARCH '97 AND AGAIN IN OCT.'99 THE CAR EXPLODED WHEN CRANKED. THE LAST TIME THE EXPLOSION WAS SO BAD IT BLEW THE SIDE OUT OF THE COVER. A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF BLACK SMOKE POURED OUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS VERY UNNERVING. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE '93 ELDORADO AND THAT IN EARLY '97 A SAFETY PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON MY INVOICE THAT THIS WAS INSTALLED ON MY CAR EITHER TIME IT HAPPENED. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

THERE IS A BACKFIRE IN THE INDUCTION CHAMBER WHICH CRACKS THE CHAMBER WALL, ALLOWING FREE FLOW OF AIR INTO THE CHAMBER AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RUN FULL THROTTLE.
