Took truck in for fuel pump module upon dropping the fuel tank the mechanic discovered the frame was rusted thriugh and cracked! After investigating online i see this is a very common problem and they should be held accountable.

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.

Vehicle rocker panels rusted all the way through ,not much structural integrity left both drivers and passenger sides. Vehicle has been well maintained , washed and rinsed of any road salt etc. Dailey!! During life of vehicle. Other areas, wheel wells ,stock towing hitch reciever(towing package) ,cab corners ,completely rusted through!!! Frame also begining to show deep pitting in areas that you can push a screw driver right through rusted area. Metal used for structural and body components of this vehicle totally junk!! Also 2 years ago I kept smelling gasoline when exiting vehicle after driving, long story short, had to remove truck bed and on top of fuel tank coming out are metal tubes , which are part of fuel pump inside tank, to which the fuel lines are connected to, well one of the metal tubes was totally rusted off, which was the fuel return line? Which was why I was smelling gas, which was leaking out very close if not on the exhaust system when driving. I 'm no expert ,but I think this might qualify as a safety issue. Thank you

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. Thank you.

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?
