I bought my used 2002 chevy tahoe with only 29,000 miles. I have owned my vehicle less than 8 months and it has died (while I was driving) 4 times already. The 5th time this happened, the engine just wouldn't start. I hear the fuel pump is a common problem with gmc's however, at 50,000 this should not be happening. It's the fuel pump. Luckily, everytime my car stalled out, I wasn't in busy traffic. I don't want to know what I would have done had this happened if I was on the freeway. This is something gmc definitely has to look at.

Battery died, replaced. Battery lights coming on while driving the vehicle, unable to start vehicle, vehicle stalling. Unable to operate vehicle due to loss of power. This happened while driving 30 MPH in the rain. Barely able to pull vehicle off roadway. No power at all including lights and hazard lights. Took to chevrolet dealer - found no problem, nothing done to correct. Was told that after market alarm system (installed at chevrolet dealer) could be the cause of the problem. Took to audio installer and had alarm removed. Was told by different chevy dealer that they had the same problem right now with a tahoe in their shop. They removed alarm and have had no problems since (2 days). Would need to drive my vehicle to see if it happens again. This is a severe safety issue as it could easily result in an accident because oncoming vehicles can not see you without hazard lights. Old part is available. I have kept the alarm system if needed to review.

I have a 2002 chevrolet tahoe. Once the vehicle sets overnight or a period of six hours or longer the following problem occurs: I go to back out of my driveway in reverse the vehicle engine will die. Note that my drive way is on an incline. This cannot be recreated if the dealership attaches a tech tool to the vehicle. This problem can be recreated without fail with nothing attached. I have also had one occurrence that after I started the vehicle back, which it will always start back, I was attempting to pull out on a major road when the vehicle appeared to try and stall out. Luckily the vehicle picked back up and responded normally just a second before I was nearly struck broadside by a semi-truck. The date below is approximately when the problem started.
