Sporatic failure of the fuel pump causing the truck to not start or to stall while being driven. Issue happened both when stationary and while in motion. Vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. Dealership diagnostics determined fuse block failure. Was informed by the dealership that the fuse block failure is common, so much so that they stock the replacements. Fortunately I was not on the highway towing my trailer when the last incident happened. If I had been on the highway towing, it could have been catastrophic since there would have been a loss of power steering and braking. The truck only had 11,612 miles on it at the last instance.
Just bought truck from wyler Chevrolet, 1 owner trade in. Only 67000 miles. Have only drove 2000 miles in 6 months. I parked in driveway after work at 6 pm, had freezing rain that night. Next morning truck turns over fine but don't start. Has over 1/2 tank of gas. It smelled like burning hairdryer. Have extended warranty on truck, had towed to wyler Chevrolet in springfield Ohio.they found the fuse for the fuel pump was blown/burnt/melted. They tell me this isn't covered by warranty fuel systems. After all the fuel pump recalls for these 2013 Chevy, my truck must have something needing repaired also. If this shorted out and caught fire while my family is in this truck this will be such a bad situation. It has been sitting at dealership waiting for GM pac inspection for repair. Please assist

Update of NHTSA id number: 10809089. The stabilitrak and reduced engine power has increased to the following obd codes: P0010, P0122, P0202, P0233, P0335, P0455, P0340, P1682, P2089 as well. At this point there doesn't appear to be anything left on the vehicle that does work. Since the recalls and technical bulletins all appear to have been "completed" for this vehicle I guess I can look forward to repeating the same problematic repairs again and again for the remainder of the time that I own this vehicle which do not appear to have resolved but merely band aided away until they reappear. Even the drivers door switches all had to be replaced which tells me that this is related to an electrical problem and with so many complaints the matter had forced consumers to pay for repairs that were designed to fail without regard to the consumers safety nor financial burdens. It appears that the electrical issues which most are directly linked to the defective engine wiring harness and grounding issues as many technicians are reporting. At this point the truck needs to be totaled.
The vehicle has been running poorly and throwing many codes (evap, stabilitrak, ABS, cam, ignition, injection, and even throttle errors for the past three months. The transmission has also been bumping (not slipping) in 2nd gear under load. Yesterday the truck started running really rough and the transmission started shifting really hard (up and down) just before the message "reduced engine power" and the "stabilitrak came on again. I shut the truck off and it would not restart. I am towing a 30' tow behind camper with this vehicle and this has effected everything from my fuel economy, handling and now even basic operation of the vehicle. Stabilitrak happens while the vehicle is in motion or stationary. The repair facility has informed me that the ECU/ECM is the most likely culprit and therefore it is being replaced because I will not place myself nor any of my family members or others on the road into harms way nor do I want to end up a statistic of another manufacturer known defect.

On the way to work on Monday morning, Sept 1st, 2014 as my husband approached a stop light he noticed the vehicle at the light backup lights come on. He thought they may have pulled too far up under the stop light and were just going to back up a little bit so he applied his brakes. The driver of the other vehicle proceeded to push the gas and slam in to the front of my husband's truck then drive off. My husband proceeded to the nearby Pilot fuel stop looked around to see if the other vehicle was there then called the police to file a report. After that he went on to work a few miles down the road. Worked his shift, stopped and put a little gas in his truck and drove the 9 miles home. Parked in the drive went in the house and came back out a few minutes later there was smoke then fire coming from around the front tire of the truck. It soon became engulfed in flames despite the efforts of the local fire department. The truck was a total loss.
