2009 GMC Canyon

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY WHEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY TRUCK AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO MANUEVER OFF THE ROAD. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY MECHANIC & WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. RECALL NO. 08411 2009 GMC CANYONS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH AN ADHESIVE SEPARATION OF THE RTV SEAL BETWEEN THE SEAL AND THE HOUSING MAY ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE MODULE. WATER IN THE MODULE COULD CAUSE A SHORT, ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (WHICH WAS ON IN MY TRUCK). ALSO THE ENGINE MAY BE HARD TO START, MAY NOT START OR MAY STALL. IF THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IT IS MOVING, A CRASH MAY OCCUR! THIS HAPPENED TO ME BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT CRASH AND DIE. LIKE OTHERS MY TRUCK DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE VIN #S. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. MY TRUCK HAD THE PROBLEMS STATED IN THE RECALL AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY MY MECHANIC & DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, GMC DENIED THE REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WITHIN THE RECALLED VIN#S. GMC WAS NOT BROAD ENOUGH WITH THEIR RECALL!! I'M ATTACHING A PHOTO OF THE MODULE AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE CORROSION .

INTERMITTENT AND REPEATED PARTIAL FAILURE OF FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE PART NUMBER 20850907 DURING DRIVING, INCLUDING ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION, LOSS OF MOST OF ENGINE POWER ON MODERATE HIGHWAY GRADE, SLOWING TO 15 MPH UNDER SPEED LIMIT, AND FAILURE TO RESTART APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER SHUTDOWN. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP LIT AND DIAGNOSTIC CODE FOR LOW FUEL RAIL PRESSURE WAS RECORDED, BUT FSCM MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSTIC CODE WAS NOT RECORDED UNTIL AFTER AT LEAST TWO INCIDENTS HAD TAKEN PLACE. VEHICLE (VIN) ENTRY INTO DATABASE RETURNED "0 RECALLS", SO NHTSA CAMPAIGN 09V154000 REMAINED UNKNOWN AND ORDINARY REPLACEMENT OF FSCM WAS ATTEMPTED. WHEN FSCM 20850907 REPLACEMENT WAS ORDERED, GM FSCM PART 20759945 WAS SUPPLIED, WHICH FAILED TO OPERATE. GM DEALER REFUSED TO VERIFY CORRECT PART NUMBER AND WITHHELD ALL INFORMATION ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN 09V154000.

ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS IN DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE STARTS THEN SPUTTERS AND STALLS AS IF NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS AND ATTEMPTS TO DIE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, IT FINALLY CATCHES UP AND RUNS. ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHS SEVERAL TIMES. ACCORDING TO DOCUMENT ID # 2274089--- #08411 PRODUCT SAFETY- HARD START, NO START, ENGINE STALL- REPLACE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE- ( MAY 7, 2009) I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST ALONG WITH A COPY OF RECALL BUT THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS A SERVICE BULLENTIN AND NOT A RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT GATEWAY SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE ENGINE STALL. THEY PULLED UP THE RECALL AND SHOWED IT TO ME AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL THAT THE GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST BUT GM DENYS THAT A RECALL EXIST EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN HAND.THE RECALL PERTAINS TO TRUCK NUMBERSBETWEEN 98104805 - 98123129. MY TRUCK # IS 98123053 WHICH FALLS IN THAT CATEGORY. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY BUT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED SINCE I HAVE HAD POSESSION. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED.
