NHTSA Complaint #10587285 — 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE

TRAVELING WEST ON I-10 FROM HOUSTON TO CALIFORNIA. ABOUT 15 MILES OUT OF VAN HORN TX GOING TO EL PASO THE CAR SHUT DOWN. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. WE GOT OVER TO THE SHOULDER (IT WAS A STRUGGLE). THE CAR WAS DEAD. WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. CALLED FOR HELP. ABOUT 15-20 MIN. LATER TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WORKED. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. DROVE TO EL PASO AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SENSORS FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE ENGINE WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY (FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR). IT SHOULD READ ABOUT 50-60 PSI AND WE WERE READING ABOUT 43 PSI. IN SHORT THE COMPUTER TOLD MY ENGINE "WE ARE OUT OF GAS." SO THAT IS WHY IT JUST SHUT DOWN, EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT EMPTY. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS ALREADY A SIMILAR RECALL ALREADY ON CHEVY CARS/TRUCKS LIKE THE TRAILBLAZER. I THINK THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM ON MORE MODELS THAN WHAT IS BEING REPORTED! *TR
