NHTSA Complaint #10103078 — 2001 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN

2001 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING APPROXIMATELY THREE HOURS AFTER DRIVING IT A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER HOURS SO THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOOKED AT FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS. WHEN I CALL ED THE SERVICE WRITER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE VEHICLE HE STATED IT WAS STILL PARKED OUTSIDE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE HE STATED, "PROBABLY THE FUEL PUMP." THE VEHICLE HAD NOT EVEN BEEN LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC WHEN THE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT.
