Vehicle is stalling and not starting and brakes have to be replaced more often than any normal vehicle/truck/van. This occurrence has been happening for the last 2 years. Took the vehicle to many mechanics and even the dealer. All types of things have been replaced (fuel pump, starter, tune-up, spark plugs, brakes, brake disc, rotors, etc...) and it still has the same problem. The vehicle is stalling and it seems that enough gas is not getting to the engine and it seems that brakes wear quite too often. I know this may cost the company alot to recall but we as citizens pay alot for these vehicles and they should own up to these manufacturing issues. I have investigated this problem online and there are many others out there like myself that have reported the same problem from models dating back to 1997. Please assist me with getting the manufacturer to fix this problem, times are hard and I can't afford to spend another dime on this vehicle when I shouldn't. Date listed below is the last occurrence and I am at my wits end. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Security system cut power to fuel pump stopping engine, a reset takes 10 minutes. The gm help line provided me with the method of reseting the security system. Gm's help line admits this is a problem, but has no current factory upgrade or repair. The engine stalls shortly after starting, allwoing the vehicle to be moved a few feet (in my case out of the driveway).
