“Yukon started dying at stop lights. Check engine light came on. Started to pull out from intersection almost got t-boned when vehicle died. There was a recall for some 2009 yukons for fuel pump control module but Gmc said this VIN was not included. Sounds like it is a bigger problem then they are admitting. I guess someone else has to die before something is done! Towed vehicle to mechanic had to replace the fuel pump control module. $690.00. Should be able to get reimbursed for a defected part! Recall should be expanded.”
