STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-05-19
- VIN: 1GT424E80FF
- Components: STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I WAS TRAVELING ON A BUSY ROADWAY AT 40 MPH WHEN FUEL FILTER WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER - INCLUDING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. THANKFULLY I HAD NOT YET ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN BUT WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY AND NOT INJURE ANYONE AROUND AND THAT DAY WAS NOT TOWING A LOAD. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHO THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE "BOSCH CP4 FUEL PUMP" HAD EXPLODED SENDING METAL SHRAPNEL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ENGINES FUEL SYSTEM. THE ONLY FIX WAS THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AT A COST OF OVER $11K. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE TRUCK 3 MONTHS PRIOR. UPON HEARING THIS, I SEE THIS HAS BEEN A FREQUENT SAFETY PROBLEM AFFECTING A WHOLE LINE OF 2011 - CURRENT GM, FORD, DODGE, AND JEEP DIESEL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE CP4 PUMPS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS LAWSUITS UNDERWAY FOR THIS FAILURE INCLUDING ONE OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHILE TOWING (WHAT THESE TRUCKS ARE MADE FOR) BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING UPON ENGINE STALL AFTER FUEL PUMP EXPLOSION. THE GM TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR REFERENCE IS #16-NA-102. IN ADDITION, THE NHTSA HAS RECEIVED TWO MANUFACTURER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS VERY SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS VERY MUCH A RECALL WORTHY SAFETY ISSUE. LOSING ENGINE POWER AND LOSS TO ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING IN THESE VEHICLES IS BEYOND DANGEROUS. IN ADDITION, WHEN IT IS HAPPENING TO VEHICLES DESIGNED TO TOW WEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 30K POUNDS TRAILER LOAD BEHIND THE AFFECTED VEHICLE THE DANGER IS AMPLIFIED THAT MUCH GREATER. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE VERY MUCH AT STAKE FOR GM'S FAILURE TO REMEDY A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. GM LISTS IT AS ONLY A "HARD START OR NO START". THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE IN WRITING THE DANGER OF FULL POWER LOSS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH IS MOST OFTEN HOW IT PRESENTS ITSELF.

- Consequence: If the front tank overfills, the excess pressure may cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, possibly resulting in a hole in the tank. The hole will leak fuel, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.
- Remedy: GM has notified owners, and dealers will replace the rear tank fuel pump or update the fuel-level sensor software, as well as inspect the front tank, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service for Chevrolet 1-800-222-1020 or for GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17399.

- Manufacturer: General Motors LLC
- Components: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- Summary: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
- Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
- Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17287.
