| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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. |
