My 2002 chevrolet suburban 1500 has began to stall unexpectedly. It stalls when fuel tank is low and when tank is full. Lately, its been difficult to crank. I have a new battery, the alternator tested fine, I've had the fuel pump replaced twice and it still stalls.

I have a 2002 chevy suburban. The truck started shutting off at any speed leaving me without power steering or power brakes. I changed the fuel filter the next day but problem still occurs. Then car stalled on highway and would not start again. Car started about 2 hours later and then cut out a block down the road. Started the car another 3 hours later and car was able to make it the 5 miles home. Fuel pump was replaced about 50k miles ago. Stall is a dangerous situation with no steering and little braking issue. With all of the internet feedback, and the 2000 and 2001 fuel issues with this model, chevy should do something about this.

My 2002 chevy suburban has intermittent but increasingly more frequent and longer duration starting problems. My research tells me that it is exhibiting the exact same symptoms as the 2000 and 2001 suburban models that were under a 2005 fuel pump harness recall. After nearly 4 months of dealing with this problem, researching it, and trying to convince both my local mechanic and the dealership to replace the pump, my suburban finally failed to start at all today. Tomorrow my local mechanic is going to replace the fuel pump and relay. I am angry to discover that the 2001 and 2000 models were under recall for this very same issue, but the 2002 models were not included in the recall and the dealership -- courtesy chevrolet in san diego -- despite 3 recent visits there with this problem, failed to mention this recall of those earlier year models. They failed to even recognize that this could be a problem with my suburban. They won't do anything unless a computer diagnosed code tells them what to do. My symptoms are the same and I'm realizing now how fortunate I am that this car did not die on me in the middle of one of the many interstate highways in san diego county. I'm also fortunate that my car did not catch on fire! I'm asking you to look into how many 2002 suburbans have the same fuel pump and fuel pump harness issues as the 2000 and 2001 models. The date listed below is the first day the car acted up. It has been ongoing progressively since then.

I have aj 2002 chevy suburban w/144k miles on it. The fuel pump was replaced while still under warranty because if the fuel level got too low it would not start. In the last 3 months have had the intermittent shut off problem listed on other complaints. I have had it do it on rough roads and interstate highways. Same thing, engine stops, wait 3-5 minutes engine starts, seems less prevalent when tank is full. Dealership says chevy sees no overall problem with it, my mechanic tells me a new fuel pump is not too expensive but the real cost is the labor to take the fuel take off and replace it. Total $900-1100, that is outrageous especially for a problem gm knows it has.
