2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Fuel System Problems

The car appeared to run out of gas. It had a half tank of gas. Lucky when it happened I was in the parking lot of my hotel for the night. I was pulling a boat at the time and was 50 miles from a Chevy dealership. Had the car towed to a repair shop where they determined the fuel control module failed. Chevy refused to cover the repair or my inconvenience. There was no previous indication there might be a problem.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while at a red light, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact researched and was made aware of an unknown NHTSA recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the fuel pump control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Without warning my Tahoe would no start 60 miles from home due to a faulty fuel pump module. I was stranded and the vehicle needed to be towed to a GM dealership for repairs. Many 2021 Chevrolet Tahoes have been recalled for this problem and I believe my vehicle should be included in the recall and $787.50 should be reimbursed by including my vehicle (573 Safety Recall Report 21v-739. September 16,2021 GM part #13537053 Fuel Pump Control Module. I have paid receipts .

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle started losing motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle stalled and was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact researched online and associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V739000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The dealer was contacted for information if the VIN was under recall, and was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,000.

I was driving down a busy road with my toddler in the car when the car just stopped. Went from traveling 40 mph to a complete standstill. Dead, in the middle of the road. No warning lights or signals at all. Could not get the car in neutral. Wheels locked up and not able to shift to neutral without the car being on, which was not happening. Had to get the car towed to the dealer. The tow truck driver had to drag the car on to the truck. No getting the car in neutral at all. Dealer diagnosed the problem as the fuel pump control module, which after researching is a major problem for this make/model/year. Should most definitely be a recall that has to be remedied by the manufacturer as this is not safe at all. Could have easily been hit due to traveling at a normal speed to stopping so suddenly. Then on top of it, not being able to get in to neutral to get to a safe location out of traffic.

I noticed the vehicle had intermittent hesitation while accelerating to merge onto a freeway on the previous evening. We drove straight home from there and the next morning as we prepared to go somewhere the vehicle lost power in our driveway and now will not start. Trouble code P129F Fault code is being thrown. This seems to be related to the GM issued TSB PIP5964 and the also GM Recall N252516900 . However, GM is denying that our VIN should be affected. I'm concerned that they're not aware of or intentionally excluding vehicles that could have this issue. Had we lost power while in motion, like on a busy freeway or crossing an intersection, this could have been catastrophic.

While driving my vehicle shut down. It will not longer crank. Had to have it towed. I am told that it’s the fuel pump driver control module. I carry my two children in this vehicle daily. This could have ended very badly. Now not only is my family without a dependable vehicle, I am going to be out a lot of money on an issue that is already a common issue.

I am writing to formally request a review of my vehicle’s eligibility for Recall N212332040. I own a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe, which is currently not listed under the affected vehicles for this recall. However, based on the recall description and the symptoms outlined, I believe my vehicle experienced related issues and should be considered for inclusion. While driving down the highway my vehicle experienced power failure leading to a full stop in the middle of the highway, resulting in a 9-1-1 call due to safety concerns for myself and oncoming traffic. The car was later diagnosed with the fuel pump module failure that other vehicles within the same year & model experienced, which were included in the recall. Why mine wouldn’t be included is quite confusing. I respectfully ask that your team investigate whether my Tahoe meets the criteria for Recall N212332040. On 10/20 I sent in a request to the GMC recall department & on 11/11 I was denied anything further. I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to vehicle safety.

I JUST HAD TO BUY A FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE 2021 CHEVY TAHOE HIGH COUNTRY THAT WOULD CRANK OVER, AND NOT START. PER INTERNET, THIS PART IS ON A MILLION CAR PART FAILING. I FOUND ON INTERNET THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I WAS STUCK AT HOUSE AND HAD A FRIEND CHECK WITH A OB2 TESTER AND IT SHOWED FAILURE. I CALLED 2 DEALERS AND MENTIONED RECALL AND WAS TOLD THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. YET ON SEPTEMBER 11TH OF THIS YEAR, GM WAS WELL AWARE! RECALL #252516900. I HAD TO GET A RIDE AND GO PURCHASE AT A GM DEALER. AND PAID $69.09 WITH TAX. PART NUMBER #13554821 GM 03900 MODULE 03.900. AND COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING OR STUCK OR SOMEWHERE. COSTLY TO GET TOWED AND NO CAR TO DRIVE. IM HANDICAP AND CAN'T BE WITHOUT. BUT FOR A DEALER TO CHARGE. AND PLAY DUMB SINCE I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BUY AND CHANGE AT MY HOME. WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR A NO CHARGE PART.!!!!!!!!!

The fuel pump control module failed while I was driving. My vehicle shut down in the middle of the road. I was unable to put my vehicle in neutral to move it off the road. A tow truck had to come in order to get it out of traffic. The next day we had it towed to the dealership who replaced the fuel pump control module. This is a safety issue because the car will shut down with no warning while driving. It’s very dangerous. The second safety issue is that the vehicle becomes immovable without a tow truck. There is no accessible shift override to manually put the vehicle in neutral.

The fuel pump went out. We were driving, about to enter traffic, and the engine shut off. It would not restart, and we had to have it towed to a mechanic's shop. The fuel pump control module was removed and replaced.

I own a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country (VIN: [XXX] ). My vehicle is subject to Recall #N252494000 (NHTSA #25V274) concerning the L87 engine and potential loss of propulsion. On [XXX], I received a “Low Oil” warning for the second time within a few months. This recurring issue matches the recall description. I contacted my local dealer, Kramer Autoplex (Livingston, TX), who confirmed the recall but stated no remedy is available. I am deeply concerned about safety, as the engine may suddenly lose power or sustain damage, leaving me and my family stranded or at risk of a crash. At this time, I have no assurance that my vehicle is safe to drive, no remedy is being offered, and I have already incurred expenses related to monitoring this issue. I am requesting NHTSA’s support in ensuring GM provides an expedited fix or interim assistance for affected owners.

Tahoe died while stopped, did not want to restart. Finally restarted and had no power when pressing the gas. Died again. Would not restart. Towed to dealership. Onstar identied it as a fuel management system error.

On August 23, 2025 while driving on a highway with my daughter in the backseat, my car gradually stalled while it was going through an intersection. It ended up stalling prior to a turn ramp onto another highway. This resulted in an unsafe condition and unsafe location as it happened without warning or any alerts prior to or during the drive. The Tahoe was towed to the dealership service repair shop (Hendrick Chevrolet in Cary, NC) and was found to have a fuel pump control module failure requiring replacement (replacement: FP-number 13554821, module 3.900). The dealership service department acknowledged this is a part failure on the manufacturer end; however, mentioned this is a safety bulletin, but not a recall for the part. Due to the Tahoe being outside of warranty timeframe, this ended being an out of pocket expense. The service staff told us there were four other Tahoe vehicles waiting for this part at the dealership, and we waited over a week to obtain the part as it had to come from the manufacturing line. Due to the timeframe for repair (>1 week), we had associated rental car payments that was not provided by or covered by the dealership/manufacturer.

The fuel pump power control module failed. The service center tested the vehicle and the error code was for this component. I do not believe the service center kept the part. The part failed while driving, the engine stopped running and the vehicle lost all power with no warning. I had the vehicle towed to an independent service center where it was confirmed through diagnostics that the component had malfunctioned. Prior to and during the failure there were No warning lights or signals to indicate there was a problem prior to the vehicle shutting down.

The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and was towed to the local dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel pump module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The fuel pump module was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. After retrieving the vehicle, the message "Key Not Detected" was displayed, and the vehicle was taken back to the local dealer. The dealer performed a diagnostic test and determined that there were 14 separate electrical failures with the TCM, ECM, and BCM. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 37,000.

Was in stop and go traffic. Car suddenly said “conditions not correct for shift” and engine died. The car would not turn on and it could not be put into neutral therefore was stuck in the lane stopping all traffic on the NJ turnpike. It created a safety issue for that reason as there was no way to move the car to a safe place until a tow truck came and had to drag it onto the bed. I have since had it repaired at a local shop not Chevrolet dealer and was told it was fuel pump failure. There was no warning or any other symptoms in facet I had just had an oil change a week prior. Had there not been stop and go traffic and I was going the speed limit (60mph), there could have been a major accident and injuries.

Fuel Mod failed. Exactly like recall order. My unit not on recall list.

The fuel pump power control module went-out, and my 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe would not start. The fuel pump power control module part number is 13554821. That part is not subject to any existing recall. However, part number 13544060, fuel pump control module, for 2021 Chevrolet Tahoes is subject to recall N2123320240. The parts appear to be almost identical when you compare diagrams. locations, and pictures on-line. I would like to request that part number 13554821, fuel pump power control module, be added to the recall. Thank you,

my fuel pump failed while driving on the highway with my whole family. i lost all power and my gas pedal lost all compression. I was barely able to pull off the road safely. no indicators flashed on my dash, no warning just a total loss of power and control. after pulling over, i let the truck sit for a second then tried to restart. it wouldn't. at that point, the yellow check engine indicator turned on. I logged into MyChevrolet and Onstar to see if any notifications were available to help diagnose, but nothing stood out. all systems appeared to be perfect at last check. I check temp and it was normal, oil level, normal. battery level, normal. Key battery, normal. i then started to google why my 2021 tahoe would die while driving and came across and widely known recall for 2021 GMC Full Size SUVs including Tahoes with faulty fuel pumps. my issue matched exactly to the description of what would occur. I did a quick search to see if i missed a recall notice for my truck, and didn't see anything. I was able to get my truck home and then to a dealership for a diagnostic. the only code that was discovered was for the fuel pump/fuel pump module. The dealership is now stating my vehicle doesn't qualify for a recall repair because my VIN doesn't appear on the affected vehicles list and that repairs will total $859.68 out of pocket. however, they also stated that early builds for this year may not have enough evidence. i ordered my truck, built to spec 6 months prior to receiving it. i would like my VIN added to the recall list. I have kept immaculate care of this truck and this is a known safety issue. this is my family moving rig. I don't want it to be unsafe.
