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 the federal safety agency recall bulletin number 14515 as quoted above.

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.

"takata recall". I spoke to a chevrolet dealership person (all star chevrolet north, 9352 plank road, baton rouge, la) about replacing my truck passenger side airbag. I first contacted them on november 7, 2017 and was told the device was not available. I contacted them again on may 10, 2018 and spoke with amanda. Amanda said she would check with her manager to determine if the part was available to schedule the fix but I have not been contacted. I decided to call chevrolet customer assistance center (1‑800‑222‑1020) and I spoke with jane. Jane explained that my vehicle is not part of the recall but your web site and chevrolet web site (http://my.gm.com/recalls) state that my vehicle is part of the 'takata recall'. Jane mentioned something about chevrolet hiring a third party engineering firm that determined that vehicles like mine was not affected. I asked for this in an email or letter but she said she was not authorized to release this information in written form. 'electrical issue'. Vehicle instrumentation panel completely shuts down while driving. This appears to be a common problem when I search the internet. Also vehicle shows the 'airbag' needs serving then right after this the 'check engine' symbol appeared. It is hard to believe that these issues are not related. Thanks.

Experiencing sporadic issues with my trucks electrical system. What will happen is that as I'm driving down the road (doesn't matter what speed), I will hear a loud "pop" (sounds exactly like a desktop computer losing power) and then my dashboard/monitor screen will go dark and after a split second everything come back on. The dashboard will flash on and off for a few more seconds. About every third time this happens, if I park the car and try to restart it it won't turn over. In these instances, I can hear current cycling through my power door lock switch along with an electric clicking noise that won't stop. If I let the truck sit for 15 minutes or so, I can get the truck to restart. I have had to have it towed a couple of times because I could never get it to turn over. This problem first occurred when the truck was 3-4 years old and still under warranty. They couldn't find the issue and didn't replace any parts. Now all the repairs are coming out of my pocket. I've replaced the battery a couple times thinking I had a faulty battery. Later I replaced the battery cable thinking this was the cause and most recently replaced the fuse box. In all instances, the problem would go away for anywhere from 3-6 months and then reappear. As I said it is very intermittent with no consistency to it whatsoever. My truck has never died while driving when this has occurred, although I'm scared to death it will do so and I'll lose all power. My brother-in-law is a master mechanic for a local dealership and it has him completely stumped. He's read through all the tsb's, checked on-line blog's, etc. As well as doing his own technical troubleshooting, but cannot pin down the exact issue. At this point we've resorted to replacing the most likely parts and hoping for the best. As I said I replaced the fuse box about 4 months ago and the problem resurfaced today.

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?
