general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe

Fuel pump failure caused my vehicle to stall not once, not twice, but three times in the middle of the interstate on my way back home from out of state. This was terrifying, especially since my kids were in the car with me. The entire vehicle shut off in the middle of traffic and I was in the far left lane.

During refueling the fuel does not fill up and backs up coming out onto person fueling vehicle along with fuel pouring onto vehicle as well property. This is a major fire hazard and can cause serious burns to whomever is fueling vehicle let alone what can happen if the spill is ever to ignite from a electronic spark. This is a major problem and needs to be rectified as soon as possible, for it is eminent that someone will be injured and possible killed.

My 2011 chevy Tahoe was in motion on a town road when several alerts came up on the dashboard including service traction control, service stabilink and reduced engine power. The local dealer used a scan tool and found dtc # p2135 - throttle position sensor. Gm has a service bulletin #11273a that authorizes full replacement of the sensor at no cost to the customer for affected vehicles. Affected vehicles include 2008 - 2011 chevy Tahoe's. But gm says my VIN on 2011 Tahoe is not covered. This is clearly a major part defect for that spans multiple decades and multiple gm vehicles that can result in the very unsafe and unexpected loss or reduction in engine power. Clearly this part defect is affecting more vehicles than just those selectively covered under the service bulletin. A call to gm service resulted as expected and they were unwilling to acknowledge the issue with the tps is more pervasive than they have claimed. They refused to cover the cost of my repair despite the fact this is clearly a defective part.

I was driving on the long island expressway ( 495) at about 2 pm on 1/28/13, I was in the middle lane at about 65mph when suddenly the check engine light came on and a message came up saying, service stabilitrak, then engine power reduced. This caused my vehicle to slow down to that 65mph to about 35 rapidly. I was able to move over and pull over to the side of the road. Once I stopped the car it was idling very rough. I turned off my car and turned it back on and was able to reset my computer. I went to my mechanic and was told it was a 2135 error code( a throttle body sensor issue).
