I own a 2005 chevy tahoe I bought new. Last year in 2012 the fuel lines coming out of the fuel pump rotted out and I had to replace the whole pump. Early this year (2013) the transmission lines rotted out and all had to be replaced, in september this year (2013) the brake lines rotted out and had to be replaced. Lucky for me I was just leaving my driveway. I am very disappointed with this gm vehicle. I don't know if I would ever buy a gm vehicle again.

This complaint is for a 2005 mastercraft x-2 boat not a chevy tahoe. There is no option to choose boat manufacturers on this website. Chevy makes the indymar 350 on this boat and is the closest option representing this boat available. The events leading up to the failure are either running the gas tank down to 1/4 tank full or running the gas tank empty. The failure can occur upon the first instance of running the tank to 1/4 full as I have documented proof of a boat owner with 3 hours on his boat have a failure. To correct the failure boat owners have to pay $500 for the same poorly designed pumped which is subject to failure and stranding the boat owner once again in open water at unexpected times (often at the end of their boating day which is dangerous because it is usually dark or beginning to become dark). Unless of course it is within 2 years of purchasing a new boat in which case your still stranded but the dealer warranties the pump work installing another faulty fuel pump. Here is a forum where the issues can be discussed and specific reports reviewed. Http://www.mastercraft.com/teamtalk/showthread.php?t=25783&highlight=fuel+pump to further explain the safety issues involved, atleast two documented owners on this forum have tried to fix this issue on their own coming up with their own solutions. This could be very dangerous and result in out of tank pumps/home style fixes to this plagued fuel system.
