The contact owns a 2008 GMC Yukon. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled and the traction control and reduced engine power indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel control module and the body control module were faulty and needed to be replaced. The technician replaced the fuel pump, but the failure recurred. The dealer (allen gwynn Chevrolet, glendale, ca, 844-636-8480) scheduled an appointment. When the contact arrived for the appointment, the technician stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that nothing could be done. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

My vehicle experienced an electrical short in the fuel pump flow control module, causing the engine to stall while I was traveling around 70 mph on the freeway. I lost engine power, power braking, and power steering. I nearly had an accident when pulling off to the shoulder and braking. I am aware that there was a recall of the part that failed in GM bulletin 14515B. GM however informed me that my VIN was not covered under the recall. The defect in my fuel pump control module has been confirmed by my GMC authorized service center. I am looking for reimbursement of the $550 dollars I paid to sewell service to replace this component as it surely should have been covered in the recall.
