While traveling eastbound on interstate 10 from van horn to fort stockton at approximately 85 mph with a semi parallel on the right hand lane and an SUV directly behind me no more than 3 car lengths away, the check engine light activated and all power was lost. When the engine shutdown luckily the SUV behind me was able to slow down after I immediately activated my emergency flashers and I was able to safely, after almost causing an accident, move over to the right hand shoulder/grass area. After having truck towed to the nearest chevy/gm dealership in pecos TX, the diagnosis was a faulty fuel pump estimated cost over $800. This is a serious safety issue when traveling on the highway and the fuel pump goes out and should be looked at by NHTSA.
While driving down the highway and traveling on an exit ramp about halfway through, my vehicle momentarily "shuddered" or "lost power" followed by the check engine light flashing. This could have resulted in quite a serious accident, however I was able to retain control of the vehicle and pull over immediately. When I pulled over, I connected my code scanning tool and pulled a p0300 code from the vehicle, meaning it had multiple/random misfires. This coincides with the "shudder". Upon taking the vehicle to the dealership to get a diagnostic, the service writer informed me they have had quite a few vehicles with the same engine come in for misfire issues, usually resulting in fuel injectors being replaced or the fuel pump. Searching online, it seems to be a fairly consistent issue. Multiple forums have been dedicated to it, along with many youtube videos describing it and showing how to replace the injectors or fuel pump. As this seems like a widespread issue, I would like to request the NHTSA look into the matter and make a determination. I would hate for a similar situation to happen to someone and they are not able to retain control of the vehicle.
The fuel pump and ac compressor failed just outside of bumper to bumper warranty.
