Fuel pump module failure, there’s a recall on this part for this year model but not my vin #

With no warning signs, vehicle abruptly stalled while driving. I attempted to restart multiple times. Finally restarted and drove another 100ft and stalled again now with a check engine light. Made it to local shop and code P129F was found for fuel pump module. I see there is a recall on this but not for my particular vin. Recommend expanding recalls.

When driving vehicle, alert sounded lowered speed detection and my engine light came on. My vehicle then lagged power and it smelled like something was burning. Called dealer i bought vehicle from and i drove it in to them. I just bought the vehicle 8 months ago. I was just in to same dealer for a GPS tracker that was in my vehicle unknown to me that the Onstar stopped working and the dealer had stating they missed it in the pre certified inspection and they had to replace the telemax module do to the unknown GPS Tracker. My vehicle is now in for the lowered speed detection problem which my GM app stated it was an air induction system problem. I do not have paper work for the air induction system yet but i have sent photo of what my GM app produced.

The car went into limp mode while I was on the highway. The car said reducing engine power and then I couldn't go the speed limit I had to drive well under the speed limit and pull off the road as soon as possible. I brought it home and water came pouring out the intercooler after looking online. I found out this is a known issue for this vehicle.

An AC clutch/compressor malfunction. No cold air, unusual noises (grinding, squealing, rattling), metal shavings, burning rubber smell, engine stalling. No warning lamps or messages ever appeared.

My wife was driving down the road and all of a sudden the car just shut off and wouldn’t start back up. She called me and I went to her and tried to get the started with no progress so I called a tow truck to come pick it up and come to the mechanic shop to have it fixed. They run a diagnostic test on it and it was the fuel module. Called the gmc in my town and the said it was not covered under warranty or there wasn’t a recall on it either. W needed my car fixed so I called around to find a fuel module and finally found one in north Myrtle Beach. I had to go and pick it up around 75 miles from where I live and bought it back to the mechanic. He put in on and that fixed the problem. A lot of the 22 Terrian’s has a recall but mine doesn’t. I would like to know why mine doesn’t and it only has 53,000 miles and mine falls in the same category as all the others. I think I should be reimbursed having to pay to have mine repaired.

The car was at a red light so it automatically stopped. when the lights turned green, I removed my foot from the break and the car would not move. I had to call OnStar for roadside assistance and they called the police to make sure I was safe and that traffic flowed safely. My car was towed to the dealership after they tried to start the car by the key and my jumper cables. The car would not start. The dealership is unable to start the car as well and they are saying that the issue with the fuel pump is not under the most recent recall for my VIN number. I was able to locate the recall for the same exact issue that I’m having under my VIN number on the GMC website. I have filed a report with the GMC manufacturer to try and get this issue fixed. I have brought this car in multiple times to the dealership I purchased from and an additional dealership to show them the issues that I have been having with this car starting and stopping, I could have been ran over by a public transportation bus today.

I HAVE THIS 2022 GMC TERRAIN WITH 19,000. MILES ON IT. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS AND NOT YEARS OR MILES. ON 6-23-23 THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO NAPELTON GMC FOR A RECALLED FUEL PUMP FLOW MODULE. IT WAS FIXED AND THE RECALL WAS CLOSED. HOW EVER NOW 9-2-2025 WITH 19,000 MILES I AM EXPERICING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEAL AND DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT COVERING IT BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. HOWEVER I FEEL THAT WITH ONLY GOING 13,000 MILES SINCE REPAIRED THEY SHOULD BE COVERING IT AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME THE REPAIR COST IS "TO LITTLE" TO OFFER ANYTHING. THE COST WITH THE TOW IS AROUND $762.00 . i WAS TOLD BY GM "NOT THE DEALSHIP" THAT IF I SUBMIT A TICKET SHOWING THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THEY COULD LOOK AT OTHER COMPNESATION OPTIONS. PLEASE HELP. I ONLY AM ARGUING BECUASE THIS WAS A RECALLED ITEM THAT HASNT LASTED VERY LONG.

My GMC Terrain started, but then stalled as I tried to pull away from the curb & drive. When I tried to restart it, it turned over but would not start. My AAA Autoclub servicemember used his "check engine" interface machine to determine that the fuel pump module was not communicating with the car, though there was half a tank of gas. This issue has been a well published problem with this year, make & model online, but GMC is not including my VIN# in the recall. I had the car towed to my mechanic & his diagnostic tests revealed the same problem - fuel system module. I would have been in danger if there had been any traffic on my residential street. If the car had driven a few blocks & then stalled, I would have been on a busy boulevard. There were no warning signs prior to the stall. There is a "check engine" icon lit up now because it is going to require service. My mechanic can't fix it, so I need to arrange another tow to get it to a dealership service department. Thank you

I went to start my vehicle up my two days ago (8-25-25) It made a horrible sound and just shut off. The lights on the dashboard would not go out when I turn it off. I also couldn't put in gear. It had to be towed using a dollie to the repair shop. I was told that the module fuel pump power control had to be replaced. The shop owner then went on to tell me that this very same brand (GMC), has been entering his shop at a shockingly alarming rate with this same problem. I'm not very pleased with having to have this repair done as my vehicle is no longer under warranty. It cost me $432.18. I'm not rich and am living in a time as many others are that don't have a bunch a money laying around to throw away. I find this very distressing as well as unfair to my family and I to have to have this replaced on a relatively newer vehicle. If you are aware of this problem, it out to be addressed. I as well as others should have been made aware as well. At the least, I think that I am entitled to a refund for the cost of the repairs.

I was driving down a paved road and my side airbags deployed. The gm investigation showed my car left the road way, however I am uncertain of that. There was no crash or impact or damage to the vehicle from this incident other than the airbags deploying. There is a scrape on the passenger side due to an incident in April. That is not related to this incident.

Own 2022 terrain that suddenly stalled one morning after starting vehicle with remote access before getting on highway. Vehicle cut off after 5 minutes and wouldn’t restart. Battery very strong but check engine light came on. Vehicle was towed to dealership and advise it was the fuel pump control module. No warning lights or proper failures for my vehicle.

Vehicle felt like it was running out of gas and then stalled out while driving down the road. It will not turn over and it will not move out of park. This is a huge safety issue.

Driving 75-80mph in the freeway when suddenly the power stopped in the middle of the road and couldn’t get it to run. Thankfully freeway exit was near was able to get the vehicle to safety. Tried to turn in on again and would turn on but die down after. Had to tow the vehicle and take it to the dealership the next day. Said it was fuel pump module defect and there’s nothing I could have done to cause it. Vehicle is less than 3 years old with good maintenance

Three times in one month, four months after purchasing vehicle from dealership, the vehicle stalls while driving and will not restart. After running codes, each instance prompted a P129F code for the fuel pump driver control module. After the second incident, the vehicle was inspected by a qualified repair shop and no issue or stored codes were found. When the issues occur and the car stalls, the Check Engine Light and a Low Battery warning message can be seen on the instrument panel. When this issue occurs, the vehicle's gears cannot be shifted manually. The vehicle must be force shifted by hand, via transmission components under the hood, in order to place the car into neutral.

The backup camera on my vehicle stopped working completely, displaying a blank screen. All other cameras and sensors continue to function normally. The dealership identified the issue as the camera having “shorted out” and is replacing it with a completely new unit. The faulty camera is currently with the dealership, and I assume it would be available for inspection upon request. It is being replaced and I will receive a bill in a few days (Wednesday March 10, 2025). The backup camera is a critical safety feature designed to prevent collisions with pedestrians, objects, and other vehicles when reversing. Without a functioning camera, visibility is significantly reduced, increasing the risk of an accident, especially in crowded parking lots or areas with low visibility. The sudden and unexplained failure of this system is a serious safety concern. Yes, the dealership confirmed the issue when I brought my vehicle in for inspection. They determined that the camera had “shorted out” and ordered a full replacement. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership, which is handling the replacement. To my knowledge, no manufacturer representatives, police, or insurance agents have examined the issue. There were no warning lights, error messages, or other indications before the failure. The backup camera was functioning normally, then suddenly stopped working, displaying a blank screen. I have heard that Cadillac and GMC Acadia models have experienced similar backup camera issues, leading to recalls due to sudden failures. Given that my vehicle’s camera “shorted out” without warning, I believe this may be part of a broader issue affecting GM vehicles. If this is a recurring problem, it poses a serious safety risk and should be investigated further.

OnStar module failure Its backordered across the entire country, its only reasonable to assume it's a problem. Online information I've seen is it's an issue with a lot of vehicles

This is the second time this occurred, once in Oct 2024 and on 1/25/25. While driving the check engine light came on and within one minute the vehicle began to stall and within 20 second the engine shut off. The first time it happened in the middle of the road and the second time I was just able to turn onto a side street. In both cases the vehicle would not restart and left me stranded.

Engine failure at low mileage. 60,300 miles. Piston 1 failed. Broken rings. Needs full engine replacement. GM will not stand by their product and repair it.

Module malfunction open-fuel pump driver control. Engine stops at any time, pressing gas pedal and nothing, the engine stops running no warning. Module has been replaced twice this vehicle should be on recall. When it happens you have no warning and no control. This is life threatening.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving at approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle was losing forward momentum. The contact stated that she depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle was still losing forward momentum. The contact stated that she was also smelling the odor of gasoline in the passenger cabin. No warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure since no codes were in the system due to no warning lights. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was a reoccurring failure. The contact had researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V013000 (Fuel System, Gasoline), however her VIN was not part of the recall selection. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

My check engine light came on and I got it hooked up to get the code of P0171 - Upon checking it was different things like O2 sensor the Mass Airflow sensor, fuel pump issue etc. I have been having issues with slight hesitation during acceleration, some jerking when slowing down (not hitting the brakes). Now the check engine light was on for one day the next day it was off. I did some research and found an article that stated that GM is issuing a safety recall for 2021 and 2022 GMC terrain due to a problem with the fuel pump module failing, not enough fuel to the engine and creating stalling risk. This was from January of 2023. It also said GM notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the upcoming recall on Jan 19th 2023 and was still pending as of Feb 2023. Also stated that GM has not yet conducted actual repairs to correct the issue. My truck, I bought it brand new on Jan 20th 2022, only 23,450 miles on it. The problem literally came out of no where a week ago. The hesitation, not being able to accelerate is very dangerous when I'm on the road, I could not get the check engine light checked out professionally because the next day it was off and I was informed that they could not do a proper diagnostic if there is no light on. Obviously there is an issue with the fuel system and I really want this checked out and possibly replaced. Not to mention my gas is also going very fast now.

Fuel indicator is reporting empty when car is full, and car is switching gears or shutting off by itself in the middle of driving.
