"While reversing slowly toward a fuel pump at a gas station in a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trailboss LT, the vehicle's Reverse Automatic Reverse autonomous braking system erroneously engaged with maximum hydraulic force. The truck came to an instantaneous, violent stop without driver input or any physical obstacle present besides a gas pump off to my left and a car filling up way behind me. The deceleration forces slammed the occupants and caused a severe, immediate lower back and shoulder injury to the passenger/driver due to the extreme change in kinetic inertia. This appears to match GM TSB 24-NA-048 regarding faulty sensor calibration creating virtual bumper errors near reflective surfaces. I have not taken it to the dealer because of this since it just happened. I didn't report it to the police or insurance. The car just beeped at me while it slammed the brakes. I didn't see what it saw on the camera. It has not done this to me before.

I have received a voluntary recall notice on my 2023 Chevrolet Silverado. The recall states that the vehicle may have a condition which can cause the Fuel Pump power control module to fail. If this happens fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted causing the motor to shut off. Would this be considered a safety concern if the engine shuts down on th highway?

While driving at Interstate speeds, the engine abruptly stalled, causing an immediate loss of motive power. I was able to coast off the Interstate to a surface street then into a gas station parking lot. Once stopped, the engine would not start again. It would crank repeatedly but never fire, like it was out of gas, but I had nearly 1/2 tank still. This is a safety concern having a 3yr old truck just die on you at highway speeds. This vehicle matches the exact year, make, and model of the expanded GM Emission Recall Campaign N262558690-01 (the federal safety agency ID 11037321) for Fuel Pump Power Control Module failures, but the VIN is currently excluded."

Multiple times the truck has stopped running while driving. Once one the highway, once in an intersection, another time in a parking lot. It has not started when I have tried to turn it on. All the times I have called AAA. They have checked the battery and there is no battery issue. Twice AAA has come out, once the police have come and sat behind the truck to keep me safe. After about 10 minutes of the sitting with the truck off I can restart it and drive. Upon research, other Chevy trucks of similar age have a recall for a failed fuel pump module. This is the issue. If it is a known issue, and causing a dangerous situation it should be recalled on all trims of Chevy trucks. I will be getting this fixed, but don’t feel I should incur the $1,000 expense for a known defect.

Was making a left turn with a left turn street light green for me to turn across an intersection. Pickup stalled in the middle of the intersection and would not start. With the help of another person we manually pushed the pickup out of the intersection and onto another side street. I received an email at that exact time from General Motors showing a code of P129F which is the Fuel Pump Power Control Module. I am a [XXX] man stranded in 90 degree heat with no AC or shade to get under. My safety was put at risk in the above instance but more so if I had been entering IH 10 into traffic traveling 70MPH and my truck had just stopped running without any warning. This is a known problem as described in GM Service Bulletin 24-NA-139 with both the federal safety agency and DOT.

Vehicle would not start while on vacation. Called a tow to take to GM dealer. Turns out the fuel pump control module was bad. Some 2023 with a 5.3 had recalls. I was told my bin didn’t qualify so GM told me to contact you.

On 1/21/26 traveling on a 4 lane divided highway, vehicle stalled, several warning lights came on and vehicle came to a complete stop in driving lane. Vehicle locked in park and could not put vehicle in neutral to push it out of highway. Several vehicle swerved to avoid and until tow truck came blocked a lane. It was about 3:30pm fortunately. So vehicle was visible and no accidents to our knowledge occurred. Thai created a dangerous traffic situation. It was caused by a fuel pump control module Whig was repaired 2 days later at local Chevy dealer. We were advised there were no recalls on this part but it is a common problem. GM should somehow find a solution and repair said problem

was crossing an intersection when the truck suddenly and without warning stopped (engine). Unable to shift the truck into neutral in order to move the truck out of the flow of traffic. This is because the truck has the electronic shifter which requires the truck to be running in order to shift. There is not a manual override. So basically the truck was in the middle of an intersection with cars and trucks weaving around it until the tow truck arrived. But since the truck wasn’t able to be shifter into neutral the tow truck had to maneuver around to the front and “drag the truck onto a flat bed in order to clear the vehicle. Also it turns out that there is a major issue with the fuel pump module on these trucks and the tow truck driver said he has seen this happen a lot and very common. As a result these types of issues are likely to result in a near of fatal accident in the near future.

The fuel pump went out, left me stranded and was replaced The transmission went out and was replaced. The lifters in the engine were replaced. When will the engine recall be addressed/acted on? The "cure" to install heavier engine oil is a very bad "bandaid"....truly masks the problem. Maybe the Chevy CEO should return her 2024 $25mm bonus to help pay for the repairs.
