Approximately one year ago the fuel pump was replaced in my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. This year I am replacing the fuel pump again. The cost of each replacement with labor is approximately $600 if you run an internet search for problems with the Alero, you will find that two common problems exist for the Alero. One is brake problems (a serious safety issue) and the other being fuel pump problems. How long will it be (or has already happened) before someone is killed by a situation where the fuel pump fails while driving causing loss of engine power then applying the brakes to slow the car only to find the brakes are not working correctly, resulting in a potentially dangerous situation? GM should step up and accept responsibility for these defects.

While driving at any speed vehicle stalled without warning. This resulted in loss of power steering and brakes. The consumer pulled off the road, and let the vehicle sit for approximately 15 minutes before restarting. The vehicle restarted, but stalled again within a mile. The mechanic performed a diagnostic test, which read fuel pump failure as the cause of the stalling. The current investigation on this issue was initiated, PE02066. The ocnsumers daughter was the driver.
