Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. While the vehicle was stationary, the fuel pump relay and the fuel pump fuse were experiencing failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000.
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?
My module fuel pump flow control part# 20759945 is not working and for some reason it is recalled for some vins for 2008 but not mine. If it is the same part and same problem why is not recalled for all? Chevy has a tsb #14515b but company will only say engineers decide who gets the recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a fuel pump module failure.

The contact stated that there was a recall issued by general motors, bulletin number: 14515b (chassis electronic control module internal contamination), but the VIN was not included.

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.
Started acting like it was fuel starved. Mechanic said fuel pump. Going uphill or under strain began jerking. When leveled out truck did fine. Mechanic said pump in tank now sock gone bad. Seen a lot of these go bad.
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.

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.
