The component that failed was the fuel pump control module, which the dealership currently has in its possession. While driving on the interstate at 70 mph with my family of five—including three young children—the vehicle suddenly lost all motor power. This left us stranded on the shoulder for three hours waiting for a tow truck, completely without heat or AC. Once the vehicle was towed to the dealership, they confirmed the fuel pump module failure. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or prior symptoms; the engine simply stopped running. Fortunately, there were no injuries or crashes, but that was solely because I was lucky enough to safely maneuver across four lanes to the shoulder just before an exit. It was an incredibly dangerous situation that could have been much worse. I contacted GM Customer Service, but they stated they could not and would not do anything to assist with the situation. I have retained both the official dealership repair invoice confirming the failure and the tow bill from the incident.

While driving on a major highway at approximately 60 to 65 mph the vehicle shut down loss of power and steering without any warning lights. I was able to safely maneuver the vehicle to the emergency lane and contacted AAA to have it towed to nearest dealership. A fuel pump module was replaced- I have been following gmc recent recall of 600k which gives same scenario for their larger engine failure not including the 5.3L Ecotec V8 that I own. I experienced the same failure. Although it was fixed as a sensor module fault, I believe it’s a bigger problem that is not being addressed.

While driving northbound on I2 at approximately 70mph I experienced a sudden loss of engine power. Vehicle would not accelerate and engine ultimately powered off. I was able to move across three lanes of traffic and pull over on the side of the highway. I attempted to restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful and after about 10 minutes the engine managed to start. The ‘check engine’ light was on after the incident and upon arriving back home I ran a code scan that resulted in code P129F indicates a problem with the fuel pump control module. There is recall #N252516900 dated 9/11/2025 which covers this issue for 2021 models only. This occurred on a 2023 model.

Vehicle stalled in the middle of highway. Truck decelerated rapidly with no warning. Was able to pull over before on small strip of shoulder before vehicle shut completely off. Law enforcement was called to shut down adjoining main lane as vehicle was in between main slab and on ramp. Vehicle was towed to local dealership. Problem was diagnosed by dealer as a fuel pump control module malfunction. Dealer and others in surrounding areas have multiple vehicles with same issue in their service department with no parts available through GM. There is a recall on 2021 models for this issue but not due 2022 models.
