| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 suburbans and the unexpected engine failure in a critical situation can cause an accident and possible injury. *la |
