Contacted gm corporate, they told me they can't help me and to call the local dealer to schedule getting the service to get done. Local dealer does not have any information, is not able to get parts, and is not willing to do service as it will not be covered under warranty as its not in gm's system. Gm is continuing to stall and this has been a four year ordeal. Local dealer has no timeframe of when the system will be updated so they can begin the work, they have no clue when they will be able to get parts or if they will even be able to get parts.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to serra chevrolet cadillac buick gmc (189 stonebridge blvd, jackson, tn 38305, (888) 380-6149) where they replaced the fuel pump module, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the fuel pump sending unit, and reprogrammed the module. The contact stated that the engine power was reduced due to lack of communication with the fuel pump module. Shortly after the repair, all of the warning indicators flashed, which had not occurred prior to the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

Vehicle starts, runs for a few minutes, starts running rough, missing, and then abruptly stalls, no sputter or anything. After this happens it will not start again for a while, sometimes hours.

Hit a pothole full of water with right rear tire while making a right hand turn. The water splashed up and entered into the fuel system control module through a poor seal causing the unit to shut off fuel to the truck. Truck stalled out and would not restart blocking two lanes of traffic. Check engine light was lit, and the truck had the following codes set: p069e, p0231, p025a, p064a. I had the truck towed to haydocy gmc and they diagnosed it as a faulty fuel system control module. They replaced and reprogrammed the new unit to the truck. They returned the defective part to me at my request and it was dripping water out of the seal. This is similar to recall 09v154000 for similar 2009 gm vehicles that were assembled in late 2008 just like my truck in which the seal was defective and would allow water to seep into the fuel system control module. I believe this recall should have included additional vehicle models including the gmc sierra. I would be more than happy to provide any documentation, pictures, or parts necessary to assist.
