Vehicle was purchased 1 year ago and continues to stall. It stalls at high speeds. Has taken it to the dealer, he says it is a fuel pump issue, they have replaced the fuel pump, and the problem is still there. Chevrolet says this effects vehicles above 5000 feet. And on hot days. Consumer lives at 6000 feet and vehicle does stall at high speeds.
