Other Fuel System Problems of Chevrolet Tahoe - part 2

While driving multiple times the vehicle has completely lost power or almost died in the middle of the roadway. It has been taken to the dealership multiple times and they are reporting transmission and catalytic converter issues, however these issues were present at 20,000 miles and taken back to the dealership to be fixed. This is now a reoccurrence of issue and the dealership refused to warranty or fix the reoccurring issue. Loss of power while driving and random acceleration have occurred and almost caused accidents on multiple occasions.

Driving at 35 mph and the engine cutout and stopped on 8 November 2024. I was able to pull over safely as I was on vandenberg space force base, but at highway speeds in traffic this would have been very dangerous without power. The local gm dealership at lompoc, CA confirmed the fuel pump control module failed, which caused the loss of engine power. There was a recall for the 2021 Tahoe fuel pump control module, but my VIN was not included in this recall. Currently the fuel pump module is not in stock and gm has no estimation for when the part would be recieved.

Lot white smoke for tail pipe, noise came in the motor, leak gas for tailpipe.

The transmission dropped 2 thousand miles over my warranty at 102k miles. I was taking my son to see his surgeon and the car started jerking and making noises in the middle of a busy intersection. We almost got hit several times trying to get it to the side of the road for safety. I had to pay almost $1800 to get it towed home (we were in peoria about 150 miles from home to see his doctor). There were no indications the transmission was going out and never should have at that mileage. I always do regular maintenance and keep all my receipts. I then paid 6k out of pocket to have it replaced with a better transmission since I learned gm put a bad transmission in the Tahoe I have (I was told I missed the time limit to have it fixed on their dime). Then 6 weeks later a fuel injector and the lifters failed due to the active fuel management. No one was hurt thankfully because I was just leaving home to go to work when I noticed the tapping sound and had my mechanic come look at it. Him and 2 other mechanics confirmed it was the lifters. I had already borrowed money to replace the transmission and can’t afford the $12k quote to fix it. Now it has been sitting in my driveway for almost a year unable to be driven. It is however causing me severe depression. I’m borrowing my son’s car while paying almost $700 monthly on a Tahoe I can’t even drive. I was even more sad when I found out there’s thousands of people with the same issue. Gm should be ashamed of themselves!.

I was stranded and had to have my vehicle towed after the fuel pump control module failed.

I was driving the vehicle, exiting the parking lot when the engine and all electrical components turned off. This could have easily caused and accident as there were multiple vehicles that had to go around me while I tried to restart the vehicle. The engine would crank but not start up and left me stranded in the middle of the road and in the middle of two lanes. When I finally got the vehicle towed several days later (which was not easy because in order to put the transmission in neutral without the engine being on, a special tool is needed) I took it to the dealership. They confirmed it was the fuel controller that went bad for the second time. The first time the vehicle was stuck in my garage at home with the same symptoms. They apparently replaced it with another faulty part that is a ticking time bomb. I have no faith that this won't happen again.

Engine would not start. When pressing the start button, engine would turn over but would only rough idle for a few moments then turn off. Called garage and had vehicle towed. Mechanic advised computer showed defective fuel pump power control module. Mechanic advised gm has recall n212332040 for defective fuel pump power control module but my VIN is not included. Mechanic ordered fuel pump power control module from gm and replaced on my vehicle. This corrected the problem. I am requesting my VIN to be added to the recall and gm to pay for the part, labor and towing.

Vehicle has 10,800 miles. The vehicle repeatedly failed to start. Towed to gm dealership. They say the fuel pump has failed. They say it is not covered (beccause my VIN isn't within the recalls that already exist for this exact same problem). The cost is over $1,200. I contacted chevy corporate and they offered to cover 30%. The dealership is still awaiting the part(s) with no provided delivery date. This could have caused a serious mv accident if it had failed while driving. The vehicle gave no warning of this failure.

It’s happened about 10 times since I’ve owned the car but the dealer can’t recreate it so we are out of luck. The vehicle accelerates on its own. Scenario 1…with constant light steady acceleration, it will lurch forward like I’ve stomped on the accelerator a bit, for about a second then go back to my normal input. Scenario 2, same lurch but this time while coming to a stop at a stop sign with my foot on the brake pedal only. Scenario 3…I’ve been using the adaptive cruise control and had it disengaged by braking, coming to a stop, then parking and turning the vehicle off. Then after getting back in and starting up and slowly pulling forward, the cruise control suddenly and abruptly renegages and attempts to accelerate to the last demanded setpoint. Image this scenario pulling out of a spot at a crowded gas station with pedestrians. I almost ran someone the hell over just now at the gas station and I’ve had enough. The dealer won’t do anything and when I called chevy engineering they put zero effort into it, it was a 20 second phone call stating if it can’t be reproduced at the dealer there’s nothing they can do. This is absolutely completely 100% dangerous and unacceptable.

I can smell gas inside my cabin and also when parked in garage. Mechanic said my fuel injector seals are leaking and this is a known issue . The safety bulletin 18-na-137 November 2019. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed for the safety of myself and others. Please issue recall immediately so I can get fixed.

Vehicle's 6l80e transmission broke at 101,786 miles. No gears remained but 1st gear which caused the vehicle to lose power when using the vehicle in automatic mode and essentially limped to the repair shop. Repair shop determined whole transmission needs to be replaced 2nd gear was lost, 3rd to 4th gear was shuttering and 5,6 were lost. To replace the transmission it will cost of $4500. There were no warning lights on the dash there were no dtc codes on the obdii scan.

Fuel system control module went out abruptly and without warning resulting in the vehicle and occupant being stranded on highway. This was a brand new vehicle with only 320 miles on the odometer, and happened after only 6 days of ownership. The dangerous nature of above situation is self evident. Unexpected loss of power while in traffic is dangerous. Dealership replaced the module and confirmed it was the cause of the breakdown. No warning, no change in audible sound, or anything else prior to vehicle shutting down suddenly. The selling dealership replaced the module and confirmed.

In September 2024, our vehicle was unable to be start with engine light on. We were unable to get the car into drive or neutral. We were forced to pay out of pocket to have the car towed to dealer, which it needed to be dragged onto the tow truck. Upon inspection at the dealership we were told it was the fuel pump control module that failed and needed to be replaced. They searched recalls and found none on our vehicle but did comment they are replacing these a lot on same type of vehicle. The part was out of stock & backordered likely due to multiple issues, and took 2 weeks to arrive. Reviewing online many have experienced same issue while driving, luckily, we were not. There is an open recall on this part for many models of the same year and time, but for one reason or another our vehicle is not part of that recall #21v739000 / gm #n212332040. The replacement was covered under warranty but does not cover the tow of almost $300.

Stopped for gas, then proceeded to leave store, the check engine light came on, and car immediately shut off while on the highway going ~25mph. Car would not turn back on, and then lights for fuel machine error started coming on. Car sat there trying to turn on, lights off, and then would say push start button, but nothing happened. Car began to shake and continued to try to turn on, yet nothing happened. Car was towed to home, sat for an hour and then started again, check engine light remains on.

Driving on the I-95 I abruptly lost power driving in the left lane, rpm dropped all the way down and speed was rapidly decreasing. I had to pull over on the shoulder in the most safe manner possible for myself and other drivers on the road; but it was not without any risk. The body of the car was rattling on my way to the shoulder and the car shut off before I could put the car in park in a safe place. With my hazard lights on I tried restarting the car but the enging would not turnover, the starter would run and the car would rattle about all whilst creating a traffic jam. Once I noticed the engine light and yielded to the car's inabiltiy to start up, we got the attention of a fhp state trooper who called in a tow truck for us. Getting te car onto the tow truck in traffic also increased the risk associated for everyone involved. Aftert succesfully oading the car, which was no smooth task as the car could not shift into neutral; we took the car to my local firestone. After a diagnostic test done the following morning, we were notified of a fuel pump issue that has been on the recall list for my vehicle, but not associated with my VIN.

Engine began to stall while driving or would not restart after parking. Happened one time while driving on highway [xxx]. Towed to dealer. Same fuel pump issue as recall n212332040 however that build date window closed March 4 2021 and my Tahoe was built in June 2021. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Several times over the last month, or so, my 2021 Tahoe has hesitated to accelerate while driving. On 7/31/2024 the vehicle was in park, turned on when the vehicle began idling very hard, shaking the entire vehicle. The engine was turned off and restarted approximately 10min later. I began driving when the vehicle began shaking, the engine light came on, and the engine then turned off while in drive, actively driving down the road (with my child in the vehicle). I coasted into a parking lot and attempted to restart the engine several times, without luck. After sitting for approximately 45min the engine restarted, and I was able to get home. The engine stopped and restarted several more times that evening, without issue. The engine light turned off. The following day the vehicle ran without issue, no engine light on. We took the Tahoe to total performance repair shop where they ran a diagnostic scan of warning light history. The diagnostic scan came back with codes p023f and p129f; fuel pump issues. There is currently a recall for fuel pump module failure on some 2021 chevy Tahoe vehicles. My specific vehicle is not included in the recall but is experiencing the recalled issues.

While driving up a hill on a road trip the vehicle felt as if it wouldn't speed up when pressing on the accelerator- this was short lived. Upon parking in the driveway after the trip my husband noticed a fuel smell coming from the rear driver side of vehicle. The next day it was difficult to start and fuel smell was even more pronounced. As it was the weekend we did not drive it and waited to contact the dealer on Monday. Drove the vehicle to the dealership to have the smell diagnosed and while the engine was running and vehicle was in park, fuel began pouring out underneath. There were no warning lights whatsoever. Fortunately our granddaughter had just been taken back to her parents as she had previously been in the vehicle! this could have caught fire!!! the vehicle is currently at the dealership and a leak in the fuel line has been diagnosed and is scheduled for repair as soon as the part comes in.

The high pressure fuel pump may leak resulting in fuel odor and increased evaporative emissions. The engine may also fail to start or provide less power when driven due to insufficient fuel pressure. Recall came out on February 2015 bulletin no. : 14858 part number: 12626354 description intake manifold gasket 12618337 intermediate fuel feed pipe 8/v8 engine 12625817 fuel pump service procedure.

Other vehicles of my year and make were recalled. My car was manufactured 8/14/21. I was driving on 6/12/24 and my car died. I had power. I had fuel but fuel was not getting to the engine. It turns out it was the fuel pump control module that many others were recalled. This could have been a very unsafe situation for me as it died in a traffic lane during morning rush hour. It would not start back up for me. My dealer diagnosed it very quickly and is repairing it in 2 days time. Had I been on the freeway, someone would have rearended me. My car has 22,000 miles on it.

This vehicle is owned by the city of fort lauderdale police department. We are submitting complaints for multiple Tahoe's that have stopped during operation causing extreme danger to our staff and other drivers in the city. The cause is always bad fuel pumps and our units have had to have the pumps replaced in some cases multiple times. 6/5/24 the vehicle continues to stall out and shut off in the middle of the street. Start violently shaking and gas pedal does not work.

I was parked with engine on idling and the engine shut off. Tried to restart and it started shaking very rough idle, I turned off and tried to restart it would not start, I tried again and it started shaking again and shit off but the displays stayed on in the car. I called the chevy dealer and had it towed to them. They ran diagnostics and confirmed it was an internal short inside fuel pump driver control module. They replaced and tested functional now. This is the second time they have replaced this part. The first time was last year driving when the engine decelerated and shut off. This is a safety issue and could be hazardous. My concern is this will happen again and I could be put in a very dangerous situation. I saw a bulletin issued for my vehicle with the same type of issue but my vehicle was not recalled to address product safety recall n212332040 stall while driving copyright 2021 general motors. All rights reserved. Page 1 of 4 release date: October 2021 I am not sure if this is the same part or another issue.

While driving the engine began operating very rough and all system lights indicated an issue including safety features were now no longer operating.

When turning left in cross traffic, the truck stalled. It would crank and try to run, but not start as it wasn't getting any gas. The gas tank was full at the time. The failure was very similar to when I was stranded with the fuel issue in 2021 a couple of months before the recall for the fuel pump failure was issued (ntsa # 21v739000). Fortunately, it did start momentarily so that I could get out of oncoming traffic so that I wasn't t-boned. I was able to get it home, but it failed multiple times in the 8 mile trip back to the house. We will not drive this vehicle as it is unsafe to drive and now we are left to tow the vehicle to the closest dealership which is 50+ miles away. It seems this part only works a few years and then fails.

Check engine light turned on last week after pumping gas. After driving a certain amount of miles it turned off. I pumped gas yesterday and I’ve driven miles and it still shows it has a full tank but my Chevrolet app shows it has 85% fuel.

Service engine light came on, took it to Chevrolet dealership (2 months outside warranty). They found p2459 for regeneration frequency, performed necessary dpf regeneration procedure and was successful in completing and regeneration event, applied smoke to exhaust system for testing purposes and found large exhaust leak at rear tail pipe connection necessary to install new graphite seal and clamp. Also, found coolant leak at rear of engine on passenger side, upon further inspection found egr cooler coolant hose's actively leaking. Necessary to replace hose's at this time. They do not want to release the vehicle back to us for “safety” reasons, while a part has been back ordered for 6 weeks. Doing some research, it appears there has been a trend of issues with the exhaust tail pipe, which is excluded also from extended warranty. I’m surprised, given the frequency of this on a newer vehicle that it has not yet been recalled. The coolant hose is a different issue, but likewise surprised it is not recalled.

My car suddenly stopped while driving on the highway , no warning signs I had to be towed . My car in now at the chevy dealership, was told was " fuel system issue".

While driving the car, going 50 miles an hour down the highway the car slowly comes to a stop goes in the park and stops in the middle of the road. Wouldn’t go into any gear for me to get the vehicle out of the roadway kept flashing message about going into low power mode and vehicle had to be towed to the dealer.

As a traffic crash reconstructionist, the issue is a major safety issue. My wife was exiting a residential driveway when the vehicle started to stutter and immediately shut down with no power or any capability to get the vehicle off the road. The shutdown caused the blockage of a residential street on a Friday afternoon, until the correct tow truck arrived. This was due to the fact the vehicle could not be moved due to not being able to start the engine nor the ability to place the vehicle into neutral, without starting the engine or crawling un der it with tools. It was determined the fuel module went bad. There was no warning of the failure of the component. Luckily the shut down of all components of the vehicle did not occur on a high speed or highly traveled road since I did not have any control of the vehicle after the fuel module failed. This is not the first report of the issue to NHTSA. Hopefully something will happen to find a fix to put the vehicle in neutral without tools, for the safety of the motoring public.

The vehicle just turned off and locked up while driving and the check engine light was on that presented code p2635 and p018b.

Fuel line has a hole in it from rubbing against the frame this is the 2nd time I've had to repair the fuel line in the 3. 5 years I've had the vehicle.

Front airbag and rollover airbag are not working.
