1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2016

2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4x4 flex fuel, 5. 3l. This vehicle's instrument cluster does not work. Tachometer pegs and sticks. The speedometer is stuck at zero. This is a very serious safety concern that general motors/gm should do a free recall for as many owners of this vehicle have the same problems. My abs sensor light comes on and off numerous times a day, and cluster states service air bag. General motors should also fix this for free under a recall as others have the same issue with this vehicle. My third major complaint, is the vehicle starting problem/hard start. It takes two turns of the engine for the vehicle to turn on and stay running. I have researched this on various search engines, forums, and including recall. Gov. General motors should address this issues as well under a recall. Gm installed faulty fuel pumps or fuel pumps with faulty components in them. A vehicle should start with one try. I should not have to get the fuel pressure going in the on position, or crank it twice for my truck to start.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2012

My vehicle was manufactured with a defective fuel pump. I have had nothing but problems with the fuel gauge and delayed starts. I changed the pump and noticed the original pump was missing a spring on one of the push rods. The wear and tear made the pump hang. I have the pump and photos to deliver. This pump is a flex fuel pump. There are so many posts on this delayed start issue. I have recently posted the cause of my issue. I noticed the defect immediately because I performed the repair and not the dealer. They were quick to offer me a quote for over a thousand dollars to replace a defective part.
