Vehicle has intermittent problems with the fuel delivery system, causing stalling, very low rough idle, unable to accelerate. This happens in traffic, at stop lights etc. The make and model of my truck is included in a safety recall bulletin #14515b january 2015, however my particular truck is not on the recall list. I have contacted gm and they are unwilling to replace the fuel pump flow control module that is causing this safety hazard. My belief is that gm recalled certain vehicles and excluded some that should be in the safety recall scope.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Truck randomly doesnt start. No crank no start became more frequent and has now died at hwy speeds 3-4 times. Resulting in no power steering,no ABS, airbags become deactivated in a stall situation to my knowledge. Making it very hard to control the truck in order to get it off the hwy/roadway. Stabilitrak light, tire pressure light, traction control light all stay on and the most recent light is now the ABS light. Now it's to a the point of hardly starting at all. The key has recently became very hard to turn as well. Originally the door locks would cycle multiple times , and interior lights dash lights would all cycle at fast rate all at once. When this first happened I was always able to eventually get the truck to start a short time after. Engine power reduced is another specific warning that appears now that it's now dying while driving down the hwy. Each incident when the truck has stalled it's been when driving at least 60 MPH.or more. Numerous owners of gm vehicles are and have been having the same issues for far too long with little being done for alot of these owners.
Takata recall,recall listed but gm is stalling on fixing the airbags. . Should be an independent company not gm determining if they will have to spend millions fixing the problem(letting the fox guard the hen house mentality)wanting to give the truck to my grandson but not if it could kill him. End of august was deadline ,now end of sept?
Will happen intermittently, as described by other gmc owners. See similar issue with other owners at this address: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/129454-my-fix-on-my-silverado-electrical-problem/?hl=stalling see also: the federal safety agency reference #10036550 tsb reference #pit-4730a vehicle is unmodified. The issue is with the battery cables and attachment to the frame and fuse panels. Affects a wide variety of gm and chevy models, and should definitely have a recall, as this causes a very dangerous situation. What happens is : 1. Truck will be running fine, as it should. Intermittently, without warning will start having door locks go up and down, along with check engine lights, gauge cluster resetting and complete power loss to the engine and components (power steering, brakes, etc.) 2. Upon shutting off engine experiencing full power loss. Cannot crank engine until power has been restored by popping hood and wiggling battery terminal cables. The reason why this is dangerous and should have an immediate recall, is first, when this happened I was traveling at 80mph. The vehicle completely shut off, causing me to have to guide to the side of the road without the ability to use blinker, power steering, or power brakes. I have communication with other gm owners of the same year range, but affecting multiple gm and chevy models. (one is 2009 yukon, describing the same issues.) I know that this complaint has been issued by other people as well. It is time for action.
In moderate traffic, I was traveling south on germantown pkwy. At a traffic signal, the light changed to red and I stopped the vehicle. After a few moments at a dead stop , I noticed the speedometer jumping from 0 to 10 and then higher.with no indication whatsoever from instrumentation, the engine stalled. There were no indicator signals at all. I was able to restart the engine after placing the shift lever in park and turning the key. I then contacted on star, and reported the incident and asked for a diagnostic. They reported "an ignition problem" and said I should schedule an appt with a dealer.
