Question: I have heard some people say that a car sitting too long in a hot place like Midlothian could end up with issues to the fuel injectors. Has anyone heard or experienced this?

When the engine is running is the engine bay hot?
To answer your question no just sitting in Midlothian will not ruin the fuel injectors because it's hot. Lol.

But it could gum them up if the fuel contained in the rail began to age, etc, correct? Although, at least the fuel in the rail is not exposed to the environment.

They don't have much gas in them. And gas doesn't break down as fast as some may think.

I think passenger vehicle powertrains are much better at dealing with this than small engines typically used for yard work.

We ordered our 22 Tahoe in March of 22 and it was built in Arlington in May of 22 and delivered three days later. They were very hard to get at the time. Our large dealer did not have any on the lot at the time of the order and guided us not to order the top of the line since he had a back order of 80 high end Tahoes so we wound up ordering the mid level model. All this is by way of trying to understand that there were lots of Tahoes sitting in a lot while we waited 6 weeks to get one built?

22 Z71 Built May 17, 22 and delivered January 5, 23. No tire issues but my detailer and the PPF installer complained how hard it was to remove the residue from the protective white film applied to certain areas at the factory.

Having similar issues, 2nd and 3rd row seats vibrate above 35, dealer has rotated and balanced tires 3 times( supposedly) they sai could be bad tires, so I said ok, replace them, said I have to take up with tire manufacturer, I said no, should be covered by GM, even showed them in the manual where that is stated, again they said have to go through manufacturer, so now I have a case opened with GM, we shall see, this is one of several issues that are ongoing, so glad I paid $80,000 for this thing, my 2008 town and country rides better.
