Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Leaking fuel at fuel pump at tank line rusted away!.

I am original owner, purchased new 12/30/11, and vehicle has always been well cared for and maintained. It is a 2011 and only had 52,976 miles. I notice a gas odor and gas dripping underneath vehicle, with a hesitation in starting vehicle. Vehicle was brought to whiteman Chevrolet in glens falls, NY. Their diagnosis was fuel pump rotted and leaking, and fittings rotted into plastic lines. They replaced fuel pump, lock ring, level sensor, and both lines off pump. Total cost was $1318. 11. They stated these parts were corroded from weather and road salt, and not covered by any warranty or recall. I wrote a complaint to gm Chevrolet customer assistance center. They assigned a case number 8-3967027450 and advisor �deanndra� to investigate. Her investigation concluded that the parts that were replaced had been corroded by weather and road salt in my area. She stated there are no other complaints of this nature on file to indicate this being a problem, so this case is closed.

One night on the way home from work, I was driving 60mph and all of the sudden my truck hydroplaned. I managed to get the truck straight and regain control of the vehicle. About a week later, as I'm heading home all of the sudden my abs, brake, and traction control lights all illuminated. The dic reads service stabilitrak and service traction control, then it will display stabilitrak off and traction control off. I had the codes read and my trouble code was p069e - fuel pump control module requested mil illumination and u0073 - control module communication bus a off. All those lights mentioned above have been on for about a month. I looked up information about the fpcm and found out about gm recall 14515, I entered my VIN but the only recall that came up was for the takata airbag recall. As I read through the 14515 recall, I feel my truck is affected by it because, while driving the truck my speedometer jumps all around and is not stable. Also, when I try to accelerate, it feels like the engine stalls and there's no power there. Other times, it will down shift to increase rpms, but then soon shift gears into a higher gear then shift back into a low gear and repeat this until I let off the pedal. My tow haul mode will not stay engaged, cruise control will not stay engaged, and most of the time my truck won't even start when trying to use the remote start, instead lights just flash as I'm holding down the start button on the key fob. The truck feels really sluggish almost like there's no power, it seems like it hunts for the right gears while driving. Overall it just feels unsafe to drive.
