The contact stated that he then took his vehicle to the dealer who advised him of a third party who could look at his vehicle and make the proper diagnoses, however, he would have to pay out of pocket. The contact stated he was unable to have the third party look at his vehicle, so he was able to fix the vehicle himself. The contact stated that shortly after he fixed the failure on his vehicle he went to start the vehicle with the remote start but the vehicle would not turn on. The contact stated the check engine warning light did illuminate at that time. The contact stated that he then manually started his vehicle and drove it to the dealer where it remains. The contact stated he was then advised by the dealer that his engine was bad amongst several other components. The contact has not contacted the manufacturer at this time.

My fuel pump control module pn20759945 shorted. Recall bulletin 14515 covers my model year and part number. However, gm claims my VIN is not covered by this. This is the same part and same failure listed in the recall bulletin, and imo it should be covered by gm. Fcpm's are poorly designed and poorly placed and fail on many many gm models over a number of years. This is an item that should be expanded to include all vehicles with that part number, especially if they are mounted externally and exposed to the environment such as on all chevy sliverados and related trucks. The fault in my case was a check engine light, and not a crank no start. I took the truck to gm for diagnosis. They said the fcpm needs replaced as it shows and internal fault. This is an expensive part and service,which should be covered by gm under the bulletin imo.

The lifters in the 5.3 engines are completely trash. Everyone who has a silver with the 5.3 has to change lifters often. My lifters has went out 2 times in the last 5 months. This is a big flaw in the silverado. I was driving down the highway at about 70 an all of the sudden my engine light starts flashing and my truck starts ticking and missing really bad.

On march 21, 2018, at or close to 1:45 pm, while driving my 2009 chevrolet silverado 1500 the instrument cluster began illuminating and producing auditable alarms. The message center indicated to 'check oil pressure.' during this failure, I lost all motive power and had to maneuver the vehicle off of the highway's traffic as other vehicles were following me, one of which came very close to rear-ending me. I had the vehicle towed to a repair facility in which they had indicated that this was something they had replaced, on separate occasions with this type of vehicle on at least four previous occasions. The repair facility has indicated that it was due to an 'oil pump failure' that is located inside the engine. The mileage is 112,651; I sure would not expect such a catastrophic failure that endangered other motorists and myself. There was not any warning of this failure; the check engine light had not been illuminated before this failure.

The check engine light came on while driving and when the codes were ran two codes popped up, p2534 (ignition 1 switch circuit low voltage 2. Ignition on/start switch low voltage.) and code p069e fuel pump control module requested mil illumination. When I had the dealer check this they said that the fuel pump control module needs to be replaced, however the VIN number of my vehicle did not match that of the recall that is currently in place (bulletin no. 14515b from january 2015).

The vehicle was being driven by my son when service engine light came on and I then used my actron scan tool and pulled 3x codes from the computer (ecu) codes related to the fuel pump control module , and trailer brake warning light appeared on the instrument cluster cleared these codes. 2 days later codes reappeared all were fuel pump circuit low, fuel pump module and trailer brake codes. Cleared codes then inspected the fpsm visually removed rear cover and the fpsm was full of water I them dried it out for 2x days in the sun truck ran after reassembly. But 3x days later the truck failed to start this time with computer scan tool in hand I checked the fuel pump pressure, the truck had no fuel pump pressure. I then went to my local chevrolet dealer and gave them the v.I.n. # to check the vehicle for recalls. Only recall was for safety belt recall which was done in 2009. I found out there was a potential recall for the fpsm on this website. So ii inquired to the parts department for this part,it was in stock and 183.00. I then purchased a new AC delco module on-line for 85.00 put it on and then found my local shop in town to have a tech come out to re-flash the fpsm so the (ecu) would recognize the new part. I am saving my copies of the bills so that when someone dies from this part failing when it stops the vehicle hopefully I can be reimbursed for another planned gm part failure... Sincerely mr.
