When under one quarter (1/4) of a tank of fuel the vehicle would stall while decelerating (read: Hard braking, braking before a turn) without warning, disabling all powered controls including power steering and power braking. Issue would occasionally resolve itself and then come back at random intervals.

The contact owns a 1999 GMC Jimmy. The contact stated when driving at any speed, the vehicle would stall without warning whenever the fuel tank was less than one quarter full. The failure was recurring. The electric fuel pump was replaced by an authorized dealer but the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the fuel pump three additional times due to the recurring failure. The electric fuel pump was replaced a total of four times but the failure would still recur sporadically. The vehicle would also exhibit a loss of power sporadically after the numerous repairs to the fuel pump. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34000. The VIN was not available.

Living near a salt mine Ohio uses salt like crazy I'm fortunate that I do all the work myself rotten brake lines fuel lines that's what happens in the snow belt rot my Jimmy is mechanically sound with 190000 miles drive it almost 200 miles a day to and from work unfortunately it will rot to pieces before it dies and I don't think I should have to accept this need to find other ways to get ride of ice on roads in Ohio or different alloys to make lines with. A lot of mechanics in the South won't or don't know how to work on corroded parts or some even charge a higher rate.
