Consumer states that fuel pump failed due to electrical connectors inside the gas tank melting against the pickup tube. The problem was made apparent because of constant fuses blowing out.

Had fuel pump failure. When serviced, the electrical wires inside the gas tank were burned and the connector was melted inside the tank. The insulation on the gray wire was melted off and the wire was burnt. Was very lucky that it did not explode. If the tank had been empty, it would have because of the presnece of oxygen in an empty tank. Went to bob richards Chevrolet in August, ga and they said it was not a safty issue and that they knew of the problem. Had to pay $700 out of my pocket because of this problem that Chevrolet knows about and won't recall.

Transmission starting failing at 50,000 (coded slippage). Going down highway and blew tranny fluid all over the place leaving us stranded. Transmission shifts hard in 1st and 2nd gear. Steering has momentary oversteer, causing the feeling of slipping on ice (safety concern as no control over vehicle), replaced rotors three times, replaced fuel sending and wiring unit (wires had actually melted inside the gas tank!!). what next!!!! this vehicle only has 73,000 on it. We do not pull anything behind it, so feel that tranny should not have failed. Why will Chevrolet not recall these problems? have heard others say that the radiator is not big enough to handle cooling the engine and transmission, essentially causing early transmission failure due to overheating. Chevrolet needs to address these issues before there is loss of life or a bad accident.

Fuel pump assembly ran so hot that it melted the insulation on one of the leads and the connector going to it, that lead in turn had started to weld itself to the other wires, creating a potential direct short between these wires inside the fuel tank.

Fuel pump does not last as long as most other fuel pumps last. Consumer has already changed fuel pump twice. Contacted dealer, and dealer said that there is nothing they can do. The premature and frequent failures of the fuel pump is a safety hazard.

- Grand Haven, MI, USA

The fuel pump and fuel sender had to be replaced. But what was troubling was the statement from the mechanic that we were lucky it did not explode. I kept the parts that were replaced and the evidence is clearly there that the vehicle could have exploded. I am very concerned that other owners of the Suburban may not be as lucky to catch it in time.

Engine wouldn't start. Towed to dealer. Started and dealer couldn't find problem. Stated it was probably fuel pump since had seen this before. Finally failed after surging and dying during drive. Found "burned" (said darkened insulation) wiring harness which damaged other components from fuel pump to engine
