Died at a red light today

[Ditch]

About 12 K miles 2022. Accelerating from a red light in wet conditions I got a brief TC light then engine stumbled and I coasted to a stop. Attempted numerous restarts to no avail. Removed the battery cable in attempt to reset the ECU ….finally put it on a tow truck after getting numerous messages to roll the passenger and window up then driver side, etc. Barring some kind of fuel issue which I doubt since I’ve burned a tank already this thing is going in my rear view
Second issue with this truck that I paid 75K for and can’t even get reliable Bluetooth on.

Sorry to hear this my friend. Keep us posted...could be several different things that members have unfortunately experienced

Will do… Just spoke to someone at my local Chevy service department and he seemed confident I’d have the truck back today. He stated he has “seen this a lot” lately.

I hope it's something simple. Please share the resolution and I'm real curious what constitutes "a lot"

Just off the phone with the advisor… Fuel pump control module is the culprit. Apparently they’re dealing with a lot of Covid era bad/cheap chips… The part is listed as 4+ days which he is saying 4+ is as far out as it will go, he said it could be over two weeks. Picking up a rental car tomorrow. Probably not the most rational choice, but I’m trading the truck when I get it back
Open to suggestions

“Covid era” anything is suspect these days… cars, trucks, houses… anything with a supply chain aspect was hit with a lot of work around parts.

Probably not a bad idea to let that one sail and hop into a new sexy ‘25 ZR2.

I think we all expected it to be this so not surprised.

I've been riding around with a FPCM under my back seat for 14 months and I can't get mine to die. I'll sell you my 22 rig with 11.5k miles and that new FPCM for $60K only. You'll be able to drive both of them.

COVID isn’t responsible for sourcing parts from the cheapest bidder and hitting record profits…they can shove that excuse and start taking responsibility for their corporate BS before I cut GM (and any corporation for that matter) any slack.
