In 2004 I had a fuel system failure. A loud whining noise was coming from the fuel take area. All of a sudden I began having fuel flow problems. As I entered an intersection I had a fuel system failure which almost resulted in a vehicle collision. Fortunately the other driver was able to avoid my stalled out vehicle. Vehicle was towed to ase certified mechanic who replaced the fuel pump at 900+ cost. May 2006 I am now again noticing some fuel system problems like the ones before. After researching this website an observing the numerous complaints on fuel systems on 2000 surburban's something needs to be done. I can not afford another 900 dollar repair but will have to find some way to pay it. This should be a cost Chevy needs to pay. It truly seems they have a problem with this vehicle.

When driving at speeds of 65-70 mph the vehicle stalled while accelerating to pass another vehicle on the interstate. The vehicle operated at a reduced speed. The engine did not die, but with hesitation the speed dropped from 65- 35 mph. The consumer continued to press the gas pedal, and the engine coughed and shot back up again. The consumer pulled over on the shoulder to avoid a tractor trailer. The consumer received a consumer service bulletin alerting the issue of engine stalling. The consumer lost H letter and called GM, who said this would not be a recall until November. The consumer took the vehicle to a certified pep boys mechanic, who determined this was a fuel pump problem. The fuel pressure, test that showed a low fuel pressure level at an idle due to fuel pressure, dropped even more. They replaced the fuel pump. GM would not reimburse for corrections. Since the fuel pump was replaced there have been no problems.

My gas tank read at half tank when leaving my driveway.after approx 9 miles while driving on the I-80 wb frwy on the fast lane my vehicle(V) began to quickly decrease in power, the fuel lights, the service lights, and then all warning lights began to flash.the fueld tank read empty.my car was fully disabled within approx 40 seconds.I was able to react quickly and pullover on the side of the freeway on I-80 wb on barrett ave/san pablo ave.I called a relative for assistance who put in 5 gal of gas since the fuel warning light first flashed when the (V) began decreasing in power, the (V) would not start.it did not appear to be a battery/starter problem.I called a tow truck tow the (V) to my house and have my husband examine it since he is a master certified Lexus diagnostic specialist.he said it may be the fuel pump, and was going to order the tools to repair it.I recalled receiving a letter about a fuel pump recall but could not locate the letter.I then did an internet research and called GM. I was told that my (V) VIN number is not part of the recall, I strongly disagree because my vehicle duplicated the recall without being fully aware of the recall description. My vehicle has been maintained since it has been in my possession and the original owner serviced the car at dublin Chevrolet in ca. This incidence could have led to a disaster for my 10 yr old daughter and I. I could have panicked and gotten stuck on the fast lane of the freeway with no power at all to my (V). We were stranded on the side of I-80 westbound freeway near barrett avenue/san pablo avenue exit for 2 hs until around midnight while waiting for a tow truck-my relative had to leave because of work, we were approached by 2 homeless while waiting for the tow truck; we were stranded in an unfavorable area of the freeway. I want my Suburban's VIN number included in their recall since it duplicated their recall description, and pay for all my towing costs.vehicle is disabled on my driveway.

Fuel pump failure - dangerous highway speed, stall, abrupt stall while driving at interstate speeds - very lucky to coast to construction traffic only entrance zone in area without shoulders. Almost rearended during stall out. Dealer states that fuel pump is defective and requires replacement for $700+ Chevrolet customer assistance center does not show indication that this problem is significant. Web search shows that numerous people have had similar experience. Car websites such as msn show fuel pump as possible future repair requirement in their evaluation. Extended warranty expired at 100,000 and car at 107,000 miles. No consideration given. Dealer authorized to make repair at my expense.

- Parker, CO, USA

The fuel pump module was defective. The wiring on the fuel pump module often melted when the fuel tank was routinely run below a quarter tank of gasoline. This caused a short and a fuse to blow in the vehicle, there was also an immediate lost of all power. Which causes a dangerous position for the driver. The fuel pump was replaced 4 times.

While driving at high speed fuel pump went out on my 2000 Chevrolet Suburban which has 54.000 mi. It was softly recommeded the fuel filter be changed at 30,000. However the dealer and GM is aware of the fuel pump problem. The repair was $812 verses $34.oo for a fuel pump. The public should know that this could occur. Many women w/children drive this vehicle. There should be a strong warning before lives are lost. But of course the dealership wouldn't profit as much if all the fuel filters were replaced. GM refuses to own up to the problem even though there have been many incidents, why else does the fuel filter last only 30,000 miles" I was told it was my fault by C&M Chevrolet in san diego and GM, customer service. A stronger warning should take place instead of a soft suggestion to replace the fuel filter. So many women and children are use this vehicle. I know that other makes and models have a much better fuel pump life than the Chevy Suburban. Is this a defect" I paid almost $400, I should have purchased a Toyota.

2000 Chevrolet Suburban traveling at 45 mph the engine stopped, message center said "low oil pressure" and another (forgotten) message. I shifted to neutral, cranked the engine but it wouldn't start. I coasted off the highway and stopped. I telephoned the dealer who said it was probably the fuel pump. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, the fuel pump, the fuses and the fuel filler rubber connector hose were replaced. The removed failed pump module had shorted wiring just under the mounting plate. The gray wire had almost one inch of its insulation at the top melted off the wire and left dangling. This bare wire apparently chafed one of the two purple wires about 1/2 inch from its top and the resultant contact caused a short and blew the fuse. I have enlarged photos of the damaged wiring in place. The dealer was exceptionally helpful and efficient in repairing the failure. I am concerned about the high number of failures of the pump in the Suburban and the unexpected engine failure in a critical situation can cause an accident and possible injury.

While traveling approx. 70 mph, car quit suddenly and completely. Quickly lost power steering and brakes. Luckily, we were on a straightaway not the mountain road we were travelling one hour earlier. Car towed to quality Chevrolet in escondido. Diagnosis = catastrophic fuel pump failure.this is highly dangerous. We have a friend who had exactly the same failure at approximately the same mileage, 85,000 - 90,000 miles. Notwithstanding the danger, this repair cost over $900 to repair. This is a bad design...failure results in a lifethreatening situation and repair is exhorbitantly expensive.

Aug 13 2003 I filled up tank, normally have @ 3/4 tank of gas, and after driving 5 miles home found gas running off the tank onto drive way, had to get pans to contain it. Aug 14 dealership took in vehicle and replaced the sending module at a cost of $600 +. was advised it "was a good thing to fill it up as it isolated the problem".

Filled the tank of 2003, Suburban with 41,776 miles on it, but did not top it off. Consumer drove 16 miles and parked. 15-20 minutes later, someone came in to tell consumer that gas tank was leaking. Expecting maybe a small drip, but found a steady stream and a puddle that had spread under the car parked next to consumer's vehicle. Aaa told consumer to call the fire department, who in turn called the hazmat team. Firemen removed the gas tank protective shield, but could not gain access to stop the leak or pump out the tank. Three hours later, vehicle had to be hauled by an approved tow to an authorized storage site over the weekend. Apparently, a seal had failed on the sending unit, and the entire sending unit had to be replaced. Had a spark ingited the vapors or spilled fuel the consequences could have been serious.
