ADDITIONALLY, A SMALL NUMBER OF 2007-2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THAT INCLUDE; 2008-2013 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, 2008-2009 CHEVROLET COLORADO VEHICLES; 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, 2008-2014 SUBURBAN, AND TAHOE VEHICLES; 2008-2013 GMC SIERRA AND 2009-2012 YUKON VEHICLES; 2008-2009 GMC CANYON VEHICLES; 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 AND H3T VEHICLES; AND 2008-2009 SATURN VUE AND 2009 OUTLOOK VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH A CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT COULD HAVE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION, CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE MODULE. IF THE MODULE EXPERIENCES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, THE VEHICLE COULD DISPLAY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STALL, OR FAIL TO START. IF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THIS CONDITION AND STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, THERE COULD BE AN INCREASED RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS FAILED TO START. WHEN THESE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR A U0109 CODE (LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE). I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THE VIN IS NOT LISTED, IS AFFECTED BY NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER 14515 AS QUOTED ABOVE.

HELLO, I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FOUND THE CODE IS FOR "LOW FLOW, CHECK FUEL CONTROL MODULE, FUEL PUMP". I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN NO.: 14515B DATE: JANUARY 2015 SUBJECT: CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION. IT IS MODEL YEAR TRUCK AND THE EXACT PART NUMBER OF THE CONTROL MODULE BUT THE LOCAL DEALER ADVISED GM DOES NOT LIST MY VIN AS BEING INVOLVED, EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS LISTED IN THE MODEL YEAR BULLETIN AND IT IS THE EXACT PART NUMBER FOR ALL VEHICLES!! MY TRUCK COULD STOP AT ANY TIME AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CAN;T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT STALLING AND EVEN GM ADVISED IT COULD STALL IN TRAFIIC AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP.

I HAVE A SHORT IN MY FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. IT CAUSES MY CAR TO STALL WHILE WHILE IN OPERATION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START, ETC. THIS ISSUE HAS HAUNTED ME FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN FROM GM; #14515B. THIS IS THE EXACT PART # AND ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING BUT MY VIN # ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY VIN WAS MISSED?

THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE DIE OUT WAS FOUND TO BE AN INTERNAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE.

2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500, AIRBAG SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH OUT ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT. WE CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM NEW. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IT CAME BACK EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SENSOR AND INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT SENSOR WERE BAD. AS A SAFETY/EMISSIONS PROBLEM IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY GAVE US A $600 BILL IN WHICH WE MADE THEM CALL THE GM REPRESENTATIVE. THEY THEN HAD US PAY $250. 2 1/2 YEARS LATER AND AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS BACK ON WITHOUT ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR TRUCK. IT SEEMS THAT IF THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND MY FAMILY WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND WE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE AIR BAG SENSORS. *TR

MY FATHER WAS DRIVING A STOCK DUAL CAB CHEVY 2008 SILVERADO, NOT SURE WHAT THE STOCK TIRES FOR THIS TRUCK IS. WAS BOUGHT IN LUCEDALE, MS AT WALT MASSEY CHEVROLET. HE WAS FORCED OFF THE NORTH SIDE OF ROAD TRAVELING WEST AT APPROX. 60 MPH AND WHEN REENTERING PAVEMENT OR DURING YAWING (STILL UNCERTAIN, BUT PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY INVESTIGATORS), THE RIGHT TIRE DETACHED FROM THE AXLE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO OFF OTHER SIDE OF ROAD AND HIT A LARGE OAK. THE ONSTAR SERVICES, WHICH WERE FUNCTIONING, DID NOT NOTIFY EMS OR FAMILY. THE TRUCK WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN WITNESSES WENT TO ASSIST HIM. THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING INSIDE THE TRUCK, WHICH MADE WITNESSES LEAVE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE BLEW UP AND NOTHING WAS LEFT TO IDENTIFY HIM OR THE VEHICLE TO NOTIFY FAMILY OF HIS WHEREABOUTS. *TR
