Since my last major repair which was july 2010 when my radiator and timing belt had malfunction, which I paid $653.34 for repairs, the surburban began to stall after my last oil change at the dealership which was 10/04/2011. The vehicle would stall each time the ignition key was turned, then it would stall completely after a couple of tries. Now, the 2001 suburban 1500 vehicle of mine would have a fuel leakage and the engine stalls with no restart. I told the dealership after my oil change this problem occurred right as we were leaving the dealership, but my husband and I were told it was due to the recent oil change. Now the problem still exist with no restart and the dealership said to bring it back with a $90 fee to examine the vehicle which they believe its the fuel pump. I believe this should've been observed the day of the oil change when we initially observe the problem. It seems each time we have the vehicle oil change a problem occur the same day, inwhich its costly to us. This problem continues to exist now with no start and the dealership charges us each time after the oil change to determine what the problem is which as previously stated, occurs after each timely oil change.

The contact paid for the fuel pump and fuel filter to be replaced. In july of 2008, the fuel pump and fuel filter were replaced for the second time. The failure involved two defective fuel pumps that were placed on the vehicle. The first was replaced by a second defective pump. After the second replacement, the fuel pump failed again and the shop reimbursed the contact. The manufacturer did not assist. The contact decided to purchase a fourth fuel pump that was installed by an independent repair shop on july 1, 2008. There had been no other failures because the vehicle cannot have less than a quarter of a tank of fuel. Otherwise, there will be failures with the engine cranking and stalling due to the pump losing pressure from the lack of fuel circulation. The current and failure mileages were 188,000.
