“The vehicle in question is a 1999 Chevrolet suburban. The gas gauge read erratically and incorrectly for a number of months. Then the engine died immediately after I parked the vehicle one day and failed to restart. I determined that the fuel pump fuse had blown. A new fuse lasted 30 seconds before blowing in its turn. On removing the gas gauge sender/fuel pump assembly from the gasoline tank, I noticed that two of the wires were fused together. …”
NHTSA complaint #10938873, filed 2016-12, 105,000 miles“(1) time. It appears that this failure is guaranteed to happen. (2) the fuel solenoid driver fails; the diesel engine stops; one is left going down the road without power steering nor power brakes in a very heavy vehicle. Whether an accident occurred is by chance. (3) a new, and expensive, fuel solenoid driver was installed. The old one is still in place.”
NHTSA complaint #10201337, filed 2007-08, 45,000 miles“Continual failure of fuel pump, wiring harness socket heating up to the point where the plastic around the male portion of the electric connectors is melting. This has occurred on 3 separate fuel pumps over the last year. After researching the issue online it appears to be a common occurrence among 99 suburbans.”
