Fuel pump shuts off while driving, stalling car. Also, car won't start if less than quarter tank of gas.
I bought my used 2002 chevy Tahoe with only 29,000 miles. I have owned my vehicle less than 8 months and it has died (while I was driving) 4 times already. The 5th time this happened, the engine just wouldn't start. I hear the fuel pump is a common problem with GMC's however, at 50,000 this should not be happening. It's the fuel pump. Luckily, everytime my car stalled out, I wasn't in busy traffic. I don't want to know what I would have done had this happened if I was on the freeway. This is something GMC definitely has to look at.
I have the same issue listed campaign id 05v155000 on a 2002 Tahoe. I spoke with chris lash, safety defects engineer with you last year in November. Today, I see gm has recalled several vehicles about this problem but I am not included on this list although I have had the exact same issue with the fuel pump failure. My VIN is 1gnek13zx2r314115. Please let me know what I can do to assist in this effort. Gm is non-responsive about this issue.
Fuel pump failure on 2002 Tahoe vehicle. The vehicle would lose power at any speed with no warning.
Problem started at 21000 miles. Car either won't start or loses power while driving. I have had five fuel pumps since then. Now have 53k miles. Also, car won't start on incline even though it has 1/4 tank as verified by dealer service. Everything that can be "fixed" or replaced has been and I am still having starting problems and have to have a new fuel pump ever 3 months. Gm customer assistance unwilling to provide relief. Serviced only at dealers, they can't fix the problem.
