Chevrolet Camaro fuel pump problems

Filed Sep 3, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · AZ · 1 injury

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2014 Chevrolet Camaro V6 with the 3.6L LFX engine because the vehicle intermittently stalls and/or will not restart after being driven or exposed to high ambient temperatures. I live in [XXX], where extreme temperatures and extended idling in traffic are normal driving conditions. The vehicle can operate normally and then experience a fuel-delivery-related failure after becoming hot. It may stall or fail to restart and can remain unable to start until it cools down. This makes the vehicle unpredictable and unsafe to operate because I cannot know when it will lose the ability to run or restart. This is especially dangerous in Phoenix traffic. A driver cannot reasonably avoid traffic congestion, extended idling, construction, accidents, or other situations where the vehicle remains exposed to extreme heat. I have had to alter how and where I drive because I am concerned that the vehicle may stall and leave me stranded in or near moving traffic. The vehicle has experienced fuel-system-related diagnostic trouble codes, including P2635 (Fuel Pump Flow Performance), P069E, and P018B. The high-pressure fuel pump has already been replaced, but the problem has continued. General Motors has also issued technical information addressing heat-related fuel system concerns involving this engine/platform. I have raised the issue with Chevrolet/General Motors and have GM case number XXX. Despite the recurring safety-related symptoms, I have not been provided with a permanent repair that makes the vehicle reliably safe to operate under the environmental conditions in which it was sold and is normally driven. My concern is not simply that the vehicle requires repair. The safety issue is that the failure is intermittent, temperature-related, and can cause the vehicle to stall or become unable to restart without adequate warning. In extreme Arizona heat, being stranded also creates an additional safety risk to occupants. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA

February 16, 2024 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your urgent attention a potentially life-threatening issue regarding the 2011 SS Chevrolet Camaro. It has come to my attention, through personal experience and extensive research, that a hazardous situation exists due to a leaking gas tank in this vehicle model. Despite the gravity of this issue, the car's diagnostic system fails to detect any loss of fuel pressure or sense any fuel vapors, leaving unsuspecting drivers at serious risk. General Motors, particularly its Chevrolet division, has not issued any notice regarding defective fuel systems in the aforementioned vehicle model. This negligence is alarming, as the repercussions of such a flaw can be catastrophic, endangering human lives and personal property. Given the severity of this matter and the potential for serious injuries or fatalities, immediate action is imperative. It is my belief that this issue could affect model years ranging from 2009 to 2015, amplifying the urgency for intervention. One possible cause of this perilous defect could be attributed to the poor quality or substandard material of the fuel pump O-ring. Such a flaw constitutes a recipe for disaster and demands swift resolution. Furthermore, it is apparent that General Motors may be aware of this issue but has chosen not to address it, likely due to concerns about negative product branding and the associated costs of rectifying the problem. However, prioritizing profit over public safety is unacceptable and morally reprehensible. In light of the foregoing, I implore both the federal safety agency and General Motors to take immediate and decisive action to rectify this hazardous situation. Lives are at stake, and the responsibility to ensure the safety of consumers falls squarely on the shoulders of both the manufacturer and the regulatory bo

This car originally was towed four times because of the failure of the fuel pump wiring harness to the PCM unit the fix was they put a fusible link between the fuel pump I believe and the PCU it still has problems it's intermittent it has issues of burning and melting the case or the plug-in is burnt in there we've addressed it with upper management of Chevrolet and they wanted us to take it to a different dealership and it was just a fiasco after that they said they fixed it they didn't fix it gave it back to us. I'm the father of the driver of the car I worry about my grandchildren and my son having a fire in that car I keep having problems we have to go get them and jump start them and figure the mess with the wires in the trunk so tired of this thing please help there has been consecutively people on the internet telling how to fix which General Motors should be responsible for this fix is pathetic how much I've read about it

I have a 2018 camero that I bought brand new. I keep up my service on my car. One day I noticed a smokey smell when I crank the car. The car started to hesitate to start at times. I took the car in for service about 3 weeks ago and showed them the engine light sensor was on and told them my car wouldn't start for about 3 hours. The service tech told me it was my battery. I replaced the battery and the car drove fine but I still smelled fumes when I crank the car and sometimes when driving it acts like it wants to shut off. On 8/25/2020 my car wouldnt start again. I had it towed to bomin chevrolet and was told that my fuel pump went out. I'm not understanding how a 2018 new car that's not two years old fuel pump goes out.I researched for recalls and I noticed 11/21/2019 a recall was issued for chevy camero due to fuel pump issues. Please know that im not trying to get out of paying for repairs if that's need be. I just would like an investigation please. I know of two other friends that had the same issues with their camero. Right now at a time like this doing this pandemic and out of work I cant afford to pay $1200 in repairs if its a possible defect. Please help me!
