Consumer Description

THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDER HAD TO BE REPLACED. BUT WHAT WAS TROUBLING WAS THE STATEMENT FROM THE MECHANIC THAT WE WERE LUCKY IT DID NOT EXPLODE. I KEPT THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED AND THE EVIDENCE IS CLEARLY THERE THAT THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE EXPLODED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THE SUBURBAN MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY TO CATCH IT IN TIME.
