The consumer owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. In October 2004 the vehicle quit. A fuse was replaced at a cost of $137. 75. This amount included the towing fee.

The contact received recall campaign# 05v155000 concerning the fuel pump about three-four months ago. The dealer and general motors refused to reimburse the consumer for the aforementioned work performed because the recall hadn't occurred. The recall stated that the consumer would be notified on 10-19-05 because the parts were available. The consumer thought that this was a very unusual amount of time for him to wait for reimbursement.

Vehicle shut down while consumer was driving. The ecm fuse blew out and popped out. Consumer replaced the ecm fuse, and the vehicle started. Dealer did not know what caused the problem. These occurrences happened several times in any given day. The manufacturer stated there were no similar complaints.

While driving at high speeds (65 mph), the electrical system shuts down without warning. Lost of engine power, power steering, power brakes,etc. This has happened twice in 6 months. The problem is the ecm-b fuse blowing. The dealer says that everything checks out and that it is a random problem. I can't imagine putting my wife and four kids in a car that shuts off with no warning.

On four different dates, my fuses for in instr. Panel blew out. The first time I had to be towed to a dealer in GA. They said I got bad fuel, and that it was not under the 3yr/36,000. That I had to pay for the repair. I since found out they took me for a ride. This was back in 2001. This year I have had my fuses blow 3 times with in a week. I have notice that every time they blow is when I'm blow a 1/4 tank of gas. I changed the fuse on may 26 th of 2003 and may 31 th of 2003 and June 2 2003. I think there is a big problem with this. I was driving 2 of the four times. I could have had a wreck.

Twice while driving at 65mph the engine control fuse has blown shutting down the engine and causing the power steering and abs braking to also quit. Fortunately, we were driving on a straight road.
