2010 Chevy Suburban......check engine light was on, went to the Chevy dealer, it scanned as the fuel pump module part# 2087716 and also the ABS, brake light, stabiltrak and traction control light come on and the vehicle loses power, this scanned as electonic brake control module. I had the fuel pump module replaced at the dealer and have found a recall bulletin for the year make and model with this exact problem. However this is VIN specific?? so I was not able to have this repaired under the GM recall no14515B.

On mother's day I was driving my 2010 Chevy Suburban with 92K miles on it. When I was leaving the car wash I accelerated on the gas to get onto hwy 29. As soon as I got unto hwy 29 a car switched from the left lane to cross over in front of my vehicle to get on to the on ramp for hwy 37 East. I pressed the brake to ensure I wouldn't hit him. However, when I pressed the brake the SUV was still accelerating. So I looked down to see if the gas peddle was stuck under the mat. It wasn't. so pressed the brake harder. The SUV was still accelerating. I then put the SUV in neutral, but is was still accelerating all the while keeping my foot firmly pressed on the brake. So I moved the gear shift into the manual position. Once moved into the manual position the dash read M2 which represents second gear. So I quickly took my foot off the brake, gave it gas, quickly shifted back into neutral while hitting the brake and then into drive. The engine revved real loud and then the brake starting working again and accelerator was normal. My vehicle was towed to team Chevrolet in vallejo & a case was opened with GM. I have been getting the run around with both and mostly recently was told a lie from the GM representative.

8-10-15 driving about 35 mph without warning vehicle completely shut down. No power steering or brakes. Was able to pull off road with difficulty but safely. Check engine light came on. Was able to start after a minute and drove immediately to jack williams Chevrolet in St. Augustine fla. They diagnosed a battery that needed to be replaced (no indication of check engine code on receipt just battery tested and needed to be replaced) drove for a week with no problem then left for my home in Pennsylvania. In Virginia after refueling and about ready to get on the interstate the same thing happened! this was a much more dangerous situation in heavy traffic. With no power, breaks or steering I managed to get safely off the road. Again I was able to start the vehicle after a minute and being a Saturday afternoon with no dealer service available I decided to risk the rest of the drive home. Thankfully I made it and on Monday I called Chevrolet directly to ask them why the Florida dealer mis-diagnosed the problem, asked why this happened and if there was any recalls or service bulletins. They directed me to sutliff Chevrolet in harrisburg, pa. I did get a check engine light after the second failure but the light was off by Monday. They read a P0601 code and replaced and reprogramed ECM. (engine control module I believe). The complaint against the dealer in Florida is filed with Chevrolet but I am filing the incident with NHTSA because I believe that this computer failure was extremely dangerous. I cant imagine what could have happened to a young or less experienced driver in this situation. Frankly had that failed at the posted 70 mph posted speed limit on the interstate while I was driving it could have been catastrophic for me as well.
