| Description of the problem | The fuel control module on the 2009 gmc tahoe has malfunctioned four times since we purchased the taho, it has failed as we are driving down the highway compromising our safety, it fails without warning, gm is aware of this issue and has only recalled the early manufactured vehicles, 27000 to be exact, have tried to tell gm about this problem and they refuse to acknowledge it as a safety issue. The last time it failed was driving down the highway about 65-70 miles an hour with children in the back seat, and the fuel system just shut down... This is a problem with the manufactured part that is supposed to be waterproof, but the seal fails and shorts out the fuel system. This is the recall on the early part of the year vehicles: gm is recalling 27,188 my 2009 cadillac escalade, escalade hybrid, escalade esv, and escalade ext; chevrolet avalanche, suburban, tahoe, tahoe hybrid, and colorado; and gmc yukon, yukon hybrid, yukon xl, and canyon vehicles. The fuel system control modules may have a condition in which an adhesive separation of the room temperature vulcanizing (rtv) seal between the seal and the housing may allow water to seep into the module. |
