2 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2008

Chevy Uplander broke down in driveway. Dealer towed said it started fine for them but that the battery cells were low so they replaced the battery. They said it was ready to be picked up. On my way home from dealership the van completely shut off in the middle of a very busy highway. I managed to turn slightly but was stuck in the road for at least 10 minutes before police arrived. Dealer now thinks it is fuel pump however something is still draining battery. I am scared to drive this vehicle I got it brand new and already replaced steering rod first 14,000 miles. The van currently has 28,000 miles on it now. Since I got it I also had problems with headlights flickering on long trips. Interior lights and dashboard also flickers. Also once when I turned on to highway vehicle revved up and was hard to control.
