Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 GMC CANYON WITH 44K MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CAM SHAFT SENSORS AND CAM SHAFT SOLENOID SO FAR, AND TODAY AFTER ONLY 150 MILES AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE SOLENOID I AGAIN HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED. GMC STOCKS THIS PART WHICH MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT MEANS THAT THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. I TOOK IT TO CARL EDWARDS CHEVY BUT THEY WERE SO RUDE THAT I LEFT AND TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC TO REPAIR. IT HAS GONE FROM 27 MPG TO 16 MPG AND I CAN SMELL GASOLINE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT IS PUSHING TOO MUCH GAS INTO THE INTAKES AND THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *JB
