2007 Chevrolet Colorado: fuel pump failure

Filed Aug 10, 2017 · Driver assistance, Electrical · 181,270 miles · SC

The passlock anti-theft device keeps my vehicle from starting thinking it's being stolen.. Disabling the fuel pump.. This is a safety issue and has also made me late for work several times and stranded. It started occurring this year july 22, 2017 with no prior incidents. It's occurring on a regular interval and it's getting to the point that I cant rely on my vehicle to start as normal. Please let there be a recall on getting the manufacturer general motors to fix this on my colorado as it's the only fault on this vehicle. The faulty passlock systems should be a recalled item since it will disable the fuel pump and having to wait 10 minutes for the the system to reset at unknown or unsafe places. I am a single mother with two kids and I rely on my vehicle to commute to and from school and work. Luckily the incidents have occurred at work, at home, at walmart parking lot.. But who knows when the system decided as it gets worst. My seventeen year old son has taken the vehicle out and I'm always worried about this safety due to this faulty passlock anti-theft device. The vehicle has 181,450 miles, no check engine lights show on dash.. Other than this issue.. It's the only reason the vehicle is mostly parked in my driveway.. Only myself will take the drive it for short distances. I wish and hope to have the manufacturer render a needed recall on this passlock anti-theft device system... .updated 10/04/17

[xxx][mailto:[xxx]] to: safe car. Gov subject: fire hazard 2007 chevy colorado to whom it may concern: I own a 2007 chevrolet colorado pick-up truck, with 86,000 miles. Recently I noticed a gasoline smell coming from under the vechicle. Upon inspection, I observed a stream of gas spraying from the metal elbow coming off the top of the fuel pump assembly, which connects to the fuel line. After removing the gas tank, I saw the entire top of the fuel pump assembly was badly rusted. To me, this is an extreme fire hazard caused by premature rusting of the top of the fuel pump assembly. I feel this is something that should be looked into given the seriousness of the matter. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
