2009 Chevrolet Colorado FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

TRUCK INTERMITTENTLY LOSES POWER WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDDLE CAUSING BUCKING, STALLING THEN WILL SUDDENLY RUNS FINE AGAIN CAUSING RAPID ACCELERATION CREATING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING. APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE IT OCCURS IN DAMP, RAIN WEATHER. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AS PER RECALL BEFORE PURCHASE. IN ADDITION, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS ALSO REPLACED AS PART OF ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SAME INTERMITTENT PROBLEM STILL EXIST BUT GM IS UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

FUEL PUMP LINE CORROSION ON FUEL PUMP MODULE FAILED CAUSING MAJOR FUEL LEAKAGE AND EXTREME FIRE HAZARD DUE TO FUEL LEAKAGE IN ADDITION TO PERMEATING INSIDE OF VEHICLE WITH TOXIC GAS FUMES.GM REFUSED ANY RECALL.

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IN MOTION ON PUBLIC STREETS OR ROADS NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ALONG AND WENT TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL KEPT GOING DOWN UNTIL THE PEDAL STUCK WIDE OPEN AND STUCK FULLY ACCELERATED. I HAVE MANAGED TO AVOID DISASTER BUT THIS IS ALARMING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT I SEE A LOT ABOUT ON THE INTERNET CHAT ROOMS WITH THIS MODEL OF CHEVROLET!!

I HAD MY FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE REPLACED ON MY 2009 CHEVROLET COLORADO ON 04/17/2017. FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS WATER IN THE MODULE WHICH CAUSED MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND MY VEHICLE NOT TO START, WHICH IS THE EXACT CONSEQUENCE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL.

I WENT TO PULL MY TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE AND IT WOULD NOT START. A MECHANIC CAME TO MY HOUSE TO LOOK AT IT AND STATED THAT IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. UPON DIGGING INTO THE REPAIRS THE FUEL MODULE HAD WATER IN IT. THE MECHANIC WENT TO O'REILLYS FOR THE PART AND WAS ADVISED OF A RECALL # 08411. I REPORTED MY PROBLEMS TO JIM BUTLER CHEVEROLET AND SEPAUGH BOTH WHOM REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS RECALL. I ALSO CALLED GM ABOUT THIS RECALL AND GOT NO WHERE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET TO WORK FOR 1 DAY AND THEN RIDES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK TO WORK. THIS IS CAUSING AN INCONVEINCE TO ME AND MY COWORKERS, AS WELL AS PUT OF POCKETS COST FOR THIS REPAIR.
