CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 Safety Review #10197608

CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 30, 2006.CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER . FAILED EMISSION TEST. RAN AUTO THROUGH A CODE SCANNER, AND TALKED IT OVER WITH A FRIEND ABOUT CODE THAT CAME UP. FINALLY, CAME UP WITH PURGE CANISTER AS THE PROBLEM. DID A SEARCH ON THE NET ABOUT THAT CODE, CAME UPON QUITE A FEW FORUMS WITH IT MENTIONED. NOW THE CARS INVOLVED WERE 1999-2002 CHEVY PRISMS AND TOYOTA COROLLAS. WHICH ARE THE SAME VEHICLE SOLD UNDER THE COMPANIES NAMES. MY WIFE'S CAR IS A 2001 PRISM. ALMOST ALL THE CARS HAD LESS THEN 100,000 MILES. TO REPLACE THIS CANISTER COSTS ABOUT $300.00, PLUS WHATEVER THE PRICE TO INSTALL IT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT. *TR.Mileage was 95000 miles. Chevrolet Prizm 2001 problem was reported in BRIDGEWATER, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS.

CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2005.CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . I OWN A 2001 AND A 2002 CHEVY PRIZM. BOTH CARS ARE USING EXCESSIVE OIL (SEVERAL QUARTS EVERY 100 MILES EACH). DEALER STATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP IN THE CYLINDERS. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION STARTED AROUND 50,000 MILES. THE CHEVY PRIZM IS REALLY A TOYOTA COROLLA. TOYOTA HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAS WARRANTED THE REPAIR. GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT ASSISTING ITS CUSTOMERS WITH THE REPAIR. I GUESS THAT IS WHY TOYOTA IS NUMBER ONE CAR MAKER AND GM IS NUMBER 2. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):12345678912.

I OWN A 2001 CHEVY PRISM LSI. IT HAS ALWAYS EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF ANNOYING ISSUES THAT I'VE HAD MECHANICS INSPECT/DIAGNOSE THAT NEVER SEEMS TO GET CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED. IT USES ABOUT A QUART OF OIL A MONTH (BUT NEVER SMOKES OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE), HAS ALWAYS HAD A HESITATION PROBLEM, AND HAS A WEIRD PROBLEM WITH NOISY 'EXHAUST' SOUNDS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND ARE WORSE (VERY LOUD) IN WET CONDITIONS. UPON COLD START, THE ENGINE HESITATES PRETTY BADLY WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE HESITATION GETS MUCH BETTER ONCE THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP, BUT STILL HAS MINOR HESITATION UPON INITIALLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. MECHANICS HAVE SAID THEY THINK THE FUEL PUMP MAY BE STARTING TO GO OUT (I WAS TOLD THAT 5 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS NEVER GONE OUT) AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A 'LEAN MIXTURE CODE' WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AT ONE POINT BUT WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF THAT CODE WAS AND IMPLIED IT WAS PROBABLY THE FUEL PUMP SLOWLY GOING BAD. THEY RAN A CARBON CLEAN WHICH SHUT OFF THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT BUT THE HESITATION AND OIL CONSUMPTION HAS ALWAYS REMAINED. NUMEROUS TIMES, THE HESITATION HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN TRAFFIC WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ENGINE DOES NOTHING UNTIL I PUMP THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES TO GET IT GOING...LEADING TO A POSSIBLY SAFETY HAZARD IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT HESITATES AND FIX THE HESITATION PROBLEM AND I'VE READ THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ALONG WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM FOR CHEVY PRISMS/TOYOTA COROLLAS (ESPECIALLY THE 2001 MODEL). MECHANICS HAVE ALSO INSPECTED MY EXHAUST SYSTEM TO TRY TO FIND THE ISSUE WITH THE NOISY EXHAUST BUT HAVE FOUND NO LEAKS. I'M HOPING A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED TO HELP FIX SOME OF THESE ISSUES SINCE MECHANICS CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THESE COMMON PROBLEMS.

CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 Safety Review #10459953

CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 11, 2005.CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ENGINE . ENGINE IS EATING OIL!! -- I PURCHASED AN 18-MONTH OLD CHEVY PRIZM LSI WITH A 1ZZ-FE 1.8L ENGINE BACK IN NOVEMBER 2002 WITH ABOUT 27K MILES. THIS CAR IS STILL IN MINT CONDITION. IT'S GARAGED AND I DO ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND USE PURE SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL SINCE I PURCHASED IT. UNFORTUNATELY AT ABOUT 50K MILES, MY ENGINE STARTED EATING UP OIL AT ABOUT 1 QUART PER 200 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE 1ZZ FE 1.8L ENGINE BLOCK SERIES, IT APPEARS THIS ENGINE HAS PISTON AND RING PROBLEMS LEADING IT TO CONSUME OIL AT A RAPID PACE. I KEEP A CASE OF OIL IN THE TRUNK FOR LONG TRIPS AND PUT IN AT LEAST ONE QUART EACH TIME I REFILL THE TANK. THIS ENGINE CAN BE FOUND IN AT LEAST 10 TOYOTA AND ONE CHEVY MODEL (PRIZM). THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CAR, HOWEVER I CAN'T BELIEVE GMC HASN'T ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) REGARDING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. THESE CARS CAN RUN FOR AT LEAST 250K MILES IF YOU MAKE SURE THE ENGINE HAS ENOUGH OIL. BUYER BEWARE -- 1998-2002 CHEVY PRIZMS AND THEIR SIAMESE TWIN, TOYOTA COROLLAS WITH THE IZZ FE 18.L ENGINE WITH MORE THAN 50K MILES WILL CONSUME MUCH MORE OIL AND IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE TO ENSURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH OIL IN THE ENGINE BLOCK TO PREVENT ENGINE SEIZURE. GMC SHOULD ISSUE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM. I REALIZE THIS CAR IS MORE THAN 10 YEARS OLD, BUT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF 1998-2002 PRIZMS AND COROLLAS ON THE ROAD. IF YOU BUY ONE, MAKE SURE THE PREVIOUS OWNER IS HONEST WITH YOU REGARDING OIL CONSUMPTION, OTHERWISE YOU MAY BE BUYING A CAR WITH LOTS OF ENGINE PROBLEMS. YOUR ENGINE MAY SEIZE UP ON YOU AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED IN TIMBUKTU... *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53336 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1Y1SK52891Z. Chevrolet Prizm 2001 problem was reported in BELLEVUE, NE. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS.

CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 Safety Review #10461928

CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2009.CHEVROLET PRIZM 2001, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with ENGINE . GOT THE CAR IN 2004. IN 2009 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WENT TO THREE MECHANICS TO TRY AND FIND THE PROBLEM. NONE OF THEM HAD A CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT WAS WRONG BUT THEY TRIED VARIOUS THINGS. IT STILL NEVER WENT OFF FOR MORE THAN 5 MILES DIRECTLY AFTER SERVICING. FOR A WHILE IT WAS DRIVING FINE EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT WAS ON (OVER A YEAR) BUT THEN IT STARTED DETERIORATING. IT WAS VERY SLUGGISH, DID NOT DRIVE WELL (SHAKING) WHEN GOING OVER 35 MPH, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING FOR 5-15 SECONDS WHEN I ACCELERATED. MPG TANKED, WENT FROM 35+ TO 23-25. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL INJECTORS AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ($1300 FIX ON MY THEN 10 YEAR OLD CAR). CAR STARTED RUNNING BETTER, MPG SLOWLY GOT HIGHER, BUT AFTER ABOUT THREE DAYS OUT OF THE SHOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. MECHANIC WAS STUMPED, HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT HE OK'D IT FOR ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING, SO I HAVE BEEN DOING SO. IT'S STILL DRIVING WELL, MORE OR LESS, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ALWAYS ON. AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE 2009 ENGINE LIGHT, I NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS DRINKING MORE AND MORE MOTOR OIL. NOW (2012) I HAVE TO PUT IN A QUART EVERY FULL TANK OF GAS, JUST ABOUT. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 86000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1Y1SKS2871Z.
