This vehicle continues to leave us on the side of the road. We have been told by the dealer it is the fuel pump. They have replaced 3 times now but still stalling, won't start, dies while driving, etc... So far the problem has not been corrected, the dealer just keeps changing the fuel pump. They tell us gm knows there is a problem with the fuel pumps on these SUV's.

While driving 75 MPH on a 102 degree day, my fuel tank was at 1/2 full. The engine stalled and I lost all acceleration, making it dangerous on highway conditions. When I slowed to 20 MPH at the side of the road, I lost all power of steering and brakes. I experienced "vapor lock" according to the gm certified technician who evaluated my problem the following day (under a cool engine condition).he found no defects with a cool engine on a 60 degree morning.
