It will not start!! I have to listen for the fuel pump to start circulating before I turn the ket on all the way. I have dropped the fuel tank, and replaced the fuel pump 5 times, the plug and wires on the fuel pump, the fuel relay, you name it I have fixed it at least twice. After a month or no longer than two, I'm fixing it again. This will be the 6th time unless I got some more helpful information. We have a new motor in it and new transmission too. It has 140,000 miles on it and I take very good care of it.

I stopped at a store, did some shopping, came back out and the truck would not start. I then called a tow truck and had it taken to a shop. The next morning I got a call from the shop that the truck started just fine. I had them run $280 worth of test to find nothing that stood out but was informed that it was probably the fuel pump. They changed the fuel filter and everything has worked since; until today. Now my truck will not start. I have read hundreds of submissions on various web sites about the failure problems of gm fuel pumps (on suburbans) and have two good friends that have already been through this. Obviously I am going to have to have it replaced, but it should be time for gm to take responsability for a poorly designed system instead of profitting off of the consumers woes.

Vehicle has had several major component failures since time of purchase, the electrical system failed whereas it left us stranded twice with a no start condition, then the brakes started to excessively squeek and pull, then the brake wore out prematurely, then the vehicle started to pull to the right excessively and drift, eventually pulling to the right when brakes applied, then the power steering system had gone out while driving, it has been outrageous that these problems are occurring on a new vehicle.
