My 2022 Buick Envision is experiencing sudden engine stalling while driving and intermittent failure to start. This creates an immediate safety hazard as the vehicle loses power unexpectedly in traffic. This vehicle matches the exact year, model, and defect described in GM EMISSION RECALL N25216900(Fuel Pump Power Control Module). However GM corporate is refusing to cover the repair under the recall because they claim my VIN is not yet active in their ‘phased launch’ system. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and currently has only 32699 miles. I had on-star to do a diagnostic and they gave me 2 critical red error codes…P102B and P129F

There is a problem with the fuel gauge as its display is extremely erratic. As a driver this is not considered safe because it is unknown how much fuel is actually available in the vehicle.

My instrument panel cluster went black while the vehicle remained operational. The speedometer, warning lights, warning chimes, PRNDL/gear display, and dashboard are all non-functional. We checked fuses and performed a battery reset. The issue remains unresolved. This creates a significant safety concern, as I have no access to vehicle speed, warning lights, a gear indicator, or safety alerts while driving. I am requesting that this issue be formally documented and investigated as a potential safety defect involving the instrument cluster/electrical system.

The OnStar Telematics Module has malfunctioned and is causing SAFETY FEATURES to malfunction. It is causing the following to occur to the vehicle: 1. The faulty module is causing the car to shut OFF UNEXPECTEDLY MID DRIVE. Losing control of the vehicle instantly. No steering, no gas, no brake, no gear change. THIS can cause a CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT at higher speeds on the highways. The battery is completely drained when technicians inspect it but the alternator is working properly. 2. Causes the vehicle’s safety features to malfunction and give alerts such as “Service Driver Assist”, “Lane Departure Unavailable”, “Forward Collision Assist Unavailable”, “Steering Control Unavailable Soon”. 3. Causes GPS, WiFi, and location system to fail. 4. OnStar safety button do not work 5. Causes the engine light to go on and off and causes the cars idling to run erratically. 6. The module causes NEW batteries to drain quickly, less than a year after purchase. I have had the car shut off on me twice MID DRIVE, I was lucky to be in areas of less concern and harm. I’ve had to purchase two batteries since the module malfunctioned. Less than a year apart. The dealership confirmed it was the Telematics Module January 2025. They have confirmed the part is on backorder and not covered under warranty. NO INDICATORS were given when the car shut off BOTH times that I may have noticed or heard.

Telematics module drained my battery mid drive. Car shut off on highway. Module malfunctioned and caused safety features to malfunction. After communication with Dealership, OnStar, ultimately GM refuses to issue a recall on the module. This is a NATIONWIDE issue with GM Telematics Module. Warranty will not cover the module on any of these vehicles. Someone is going to sustain serious bodily injury or maybe even die eventually if this issue isn’t resolved. Dealerships are telling drivers it is ok to drive like this. My car shut off on me twice. I had to buy two new batteries because the module continues to suck the life out of them. Serious safety issue not only to self but unsuspecting drivers because there is NO WARNING! Please help the millions of people nationwide who are having issues with their GM vehicles that have malfunctioning Telematics modules before someone gets hurt or dies!

I started the car. Backed out of my driveway. Put into drive. The car stalled I shifted to park tried to restart. It wouldn’t. At that point I tried to put car into neutral I couldn’t. There is no way to shift this car into neutral. ( I checked with service department at gmdealer). This alone is dangerous the car cannot be moved. Anyway the car was towed to a dealer who fixed it. It was th fuel pump power module. The dealer and tow truck driver both told me this happens at least 5 times a week. There is no recall on this. My biggest concern is I could be on any road going high speeds and this part can fail. This is a death trap. There was no warning lights or messages to be found. PLEASE TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY SOMEONE IS GONNA DIE.
