Fuel Pump problems of the 2001 GMC Yukon

: the contact stated a puddle of fuel had leaked from under the vehicle. An independent repair shop determined the leak came from the fuel pump. There was a NHTSA recall, # 05v155000, regarding the fuel pump. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.

: the contact stated while driving 70 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle would not restart, however the electrical system worked properly. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who determined the fuse of the fuel pump had gone out. The fuse was replaced. A few weeks later while driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled again. This time the vehicle was towed to a different dealer who determined the fuel pump wiring shorted and the vehicle needed a new fuel pump. There was a recall #01v159000 regarding the fuel pump. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. When the manufacturer was contacted, a complaint was taken which resulted in a partial reimbursement for the repairs.

Lost power on highway 10:00 p. M car towed to dealer and was told fuel pump needs to be replaced, $966. 00 this is the 2nd time first 2004 gas gauge was not marking levels dealer said "blown fuse" ? now this. They will not cover under recall because only "module reservoir" is in the recall who's to say the module reservoir defect isn't what caused (disabled) the fuel pump. Making it necessary to replace to fuel pump.

: the contact stated there is a problem with the gasoline system. The vehicle sputters and stalls at intersections. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer who replaced the part. The problems continued to happen even after the part was replaced. There is a recall, # 05v155000 for the problem but a recall letter has not been received.

The caller said fuel pump had to be replaced. She said there was recall 05v155000 on another year, but not this model year. Dealer said this vehicle was not in recall. Manufacturer said they will not reimburse the caller because vehicle was not included in the recall.

There was a problem with the fuel pump fuse kept blowing out, and this caused the engine to stall. The problem first occurred on September 11, 2005. A low fuel warning light came on. The consumer stated had to keep an extra fuse on hand. Recall 05v1555000 was issued. When the consumer contacted the manufacturer, they told her that this vehicle was included in the recall due to VIN.

The contact stated in may 2005 fuel pump failed on 2001 GMC Yukon xl 1500. He had the fuel pump replaced with a new one. When he pulled the old one out he noticed that the wires were burned and melted together. He called gm, and they told him they would issue a recall in November. The consumer thought this was not right because that was six months away.

Leaking fuel pump and strong smell of gas inside of car.

My 2001 GMC Yukon xl has suffered from the fuel system problem made the subject of the recent recall by gm. The system has failed three times and left my wife and children stranded on interstate 45 and in galveston, TX. We have had to have the vehicle towed twice to gm dealerships with one dealership keeping the vehicle for a week without diagnosing the problem. The only solution these "certified" mechanics could think to do was replace the fuel pump, while I knew all along there had to be some kind of short in the fuel sending system. I have spent over $1,000. 00 in repairs and towing charges and I still don't believe my vehicle has been properly repaired. I contacted gm about the recall and they have refused to include my Yukon in the recall because they say it doesn't have the right VIN number. When my vehicle has suffered from the very problem made the subject of the recall on at least three different occassions, how could gm exclude it from the recall because of a VIN number. Obviously gm has failed to properly notify the NHTSA of all of the vehicles affected by the fuel delivery system problem, probably in an effort to minimize costs. However, it is the consumers like me that are at risk when gm refuses to acknowledge their responsibility and liability for manufacturing defective products. My GMC Yukon xl needs to be included in the recall and gm's recall list needs to be expanded to include all affected cars, not just the ones they pick and choose. My wife and kids safety are at issue here.

When pumping gas in the gas tank, the gas would leaks from the filler pipe. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. The mechanic informed the owner that the wiring harness has melted from the fuel pump.

This is the second time the fule pump has failed. It's a bran new vehicle!!!.
