Fuel Pump Problems of Chevrolet Express

I have been dealing with gm head office and their call ctr for over 1 + years. I have been telling them that there is hesitation at the pedal at acceleration, constant noise from the engine - sounds like a machine gun. They are always telling me that these are "vehicle characteristics"!!!! I don't believe them! then they put me on a oil consumption as I was almost out of oil for a 3 year old vehicle with only 40,000kms. They were monitoring this every 1,000 approx. I can smell gas in my oil, so they sent a sample off to cat, which they tell me everything was good, but I have never seen a report. Then all of a sudden I receive a I received a call regarding a "recalibrating", so I take the equinox back into the shop. . . . They call me back and state that I had a leaking "high pressure fuel pump", which has mixed gas & oil. I am not stupid as gm thinks - this is not good! with gas mixing with your oil it changes the consistency and doesn't lubricate things like it should. Can this type of thing cause a "runaway"? I think all of these should be recalled - I have been reading alot of peoples words on-line and many are having the same issue - I really don't think people know where to turn. In closing, can you please advise if anyone else has filled reports on this vehicle, is there something more that should be done for me as I don't want to have a catastrophic failure with my family in the vehicle. Someone has to be responsible here and I think gm should be more concerned with their customers & lives. Thank you.

Our 2004 chevy Express van stalled serveral(12) times within a 14 mile distance on the interstate in denver, CO. The wife was able to get it home, and we contacted the local chevy dealer (stevenson chevy, golden CO. ) the service advisor advised us that chevy is having a problem with fuel pumps overheating and is working the problem. No recall has been issued for the fuel pump problem from chevy. Yes, the fuel pump was replace at sevenson chevy in golden, CO on 21 July. This is our second occurance of a fuel pump failure in a new chevy vehicle. Our first occurance was in our new 2001 tahoe, where it stranded us in the middle of kansas, when the fuel pump failed.

Three times our vehicle engine has abruptly stopped running in crowded interstate traffic, endangering the lives of us and occupants of adjacent vehicles. The first was August 7, 2004 on interstate 40 near kingman az. Our first thought was that we ran out of gas, but the gauge registered !/4 full and when we added gas it took only 22. 8 gallons (31 gallon tank). The second was may 23, 2005 on interstate 25 passing through colorado springs CO. The gas tank was 3/4 full. Fortunately, we were able to coast into the right lane and off to the right shoulder without causing an accident. We were towed to team Chevrolet service department (719-380-6020) in colorado springs who found "lean code", suspected fuel pump problem, but vehicle seemed ok in 2 road test drives. On return home to albuquerque, galles Chevrolet service department (505-766-6800) found codes p0174, p0171 and p0300. They replaced fuel pump module (part number 89060662, *module 3. 107) at mileage 8,826 (June 9-16, 2005). The third time was on July 1, 2005 on interstate 40 approaching williams az in the middle of heavy truck traffic traveling at interstate speed limit (75 mph). We were in the left lane adjacent to guardrail with no left highway shoulder and we narrowly escaped causing a multi-vehicle crash. This time we were towed to tyrrell-marxen Chevrolet service department (928-774-5268) in flagstaff az. They found "codes p0171 and p0174 traced to faulty fuel module". They replaced fuel module (part number 88965421 module ki 3. 107) at mileage 10875 (July 2, 2005). We like our roadtrek 170 popular (class b conversion van), but after these three (3) serious automotive system failures (plus wiper motor failure) we have serious concerns about safety of us & others when these things occur unexpectedly in heavy, high-speed interstate traffic.
