I was driving approx. 65 mph in heavy traffic on the new york state thruway when I lost all power to my truck and was barely able to manuever off the road. I had my truck towed to my mechanic & was told that it was the fuel pump flow control module. Recall no. 08411 2009 GMC Canyons were recalled because of this problem. The recall stated that the fuel system control modules have a condition in which an adhesive separation of the rtv seal between the seal and the housing may allow water to seep into the module. Water in the module could cause a short, illumination of the service engine soon light (which was on in my truck). Also the engine may be hard to start, may not start or may stall. If the vehicle stalls while it is moving, a crash may occur! this happened to me but I was fortunate enough to not crash and die. Like others my truck did not fall within the VIN #s. Obviously there was a problem with this part. My truck had the problems stated in the recall and this was confirmed by my mechanic & dealership. However, GMC denied the reimbursement because it was not within the recalled VIN#s. GMC was not broad enough with their recall!! I'm attaching a photo of the module and you can clearly see the corrosion .
To start out I would like to say that this is my first brand new vehicle I have ever bought. I was on I 475 driving approx. 65 mph when I lost all power to my truck and was barely able to coast off to the side of the road. I had my truck towed to the nearest GMC dealership to determine the problem. I was told that it was the fuel pump flow control module. I researched this problem at home and found out that 2009 GMC Canyons were recalled because of this problem. The recall stated that the fuel system control modules have a condition in which an adhesive separation of the rtv seal between the seal and the housing may allow water to seep into the module. Water in the module could cause a short, illumination of the the service engine soon light (which was on in my truck). Also the engine may be hard to start, may not start or may stall. If the vehicle stalls while it is moving, a crash may occur! hello, this happened to me but I was fortunate enough to not crash and die. So back to the recall on my truck. Guess what? my truck did not fall within the VIN #s that were recalled and I was required to pay for the repair. To make matters worse my warranty covered this problem if the truck was within 3 years or 36,000 miles whichever comes first. Well my mileage was only 31,000 so that would qualify but my truck was over 3 years old. This is sooooooooooooooo wrong!!! obviously there was a problem with 2009 GMC Canyons being built. How can you say it was just a certain few that had this faulty part put in it. My truck obviously had the problems stated in the recall and this was confirmed by the dealership. However after many aggravating hours to GMC they still denied the fix because it was not within the recalled VIN#s and that is wrong on so many levels. How many people have to die or get hurt before they do something about this?.
