| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Fuel pump wiring inside the fuel tank short circuited, and could have caused my suburban to blow up, since i had just filled it with over 30 gallons of gas that morning. my fuel pump had to be replaced, along with a new wiring assembly and float mechanism. my mechanic said the short circuit was more than likely due to over amperage of the fuel pump. that in turn, caused the wires inside the fuel tank to melt together and short out the ecm fuse, twice. i believe chevrolet is very lucky that no one was hurt. i hope others are as lucky as i was! p.s. power steering and brakes are also very poor!! bad design...1997 was a lemon suburban, and should have been recalled and designed all over again!*ak |
