2021 Chevrolet Tahoe fuel/propulsion system problems

“Fuel pump control module failed at under 60k miles. No parts in stock and was told by dealer, no parts anytime soon. This is unacceptable, especially since this is a known problem. A rental car should be provided as expected wait time is now going on two weeks.”

“While driving down interstate at approx. 55-65mph, vehicle "sputtered" and shut off while driving. Vehicle would crank but not start. After sitting approx. 10 mins, was able to restart and drive approx. one mile or less before "sputter" and vehicle died, followed by another crank no start. No check engine lights came on. Vehicle was in roadway in very dangerous location with blind curve requiring Police to be called in fear of my safety, since vehicle was in roadway, I was afraid for my children's safety as there were in car seats in the vehicle at time of failure. I was also concerned about my safety as well as other motorists safety. I was scared that I was going to get hit by another vehicle since my vehicle died in the roadway in a curve. There was an increased probability of injury or death from the faulty part on this vehicle. Police were on scene to assist with traffic, however no report was made, vehicle was disabled. Vehicle had to be towed to residence. CEL came on after approx 3rd start attempt. Believe issue to be Electronic Fuel Control Module which is common with this vehicle year/make/model. However in contacting the dealer in which I purchased…”

“Fpcm went out about 2 hours from home vehicle only has a little over 12000 miles there's a recall for this problem just not under our vin how does a part go bad that is recalled the same year but isn't covered”

“Fuel Pump Power Control Module failed. GM Part Number: 13554821 My vehicle immediately became immobilized in a lane of traffic. The engine would crank but not start. It appeared that no fuel was pumped. This was confirmed with engine code P149F. GM diagnostic code P129F indicates a Fuel Pump Driver Control Module (FPDCM) fuel pump speed signal fault… My vehicle with 51,000 miles was serviced on 5/6/2026 for PA inspections, oil change and transmission flush. The VIN has no open recalls. GM has recognized the failure rate of the Fuel Pump Power Control Module, GM Part Number: 13554821 on many 2021vehicles and issued 2 recalls: 21V739000 issued September 23, 2021 And N252516900 issued September 11, 2025 Recall N252516900 was issued as a “phased launch” and yet (per GM) the Reason For This Recall: Certain vehicles may have a condition which can cause the fuel pump power control module to fail. If this were to occur, fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted. And Consequence Summary: An engine stall increases the risk of a crash. The vehicle instantly can become immobilized regardless of its location, in the middle of an intersection or in a lane of traffic.…”

“I was driving on the highway and my car lost power and then had to shut down. I am now getting error code P129F. which is a known recall for the fuel pump control module. When I put in my VIN, it doesn’t show my car part of it, but it is a 2021 Tahoe experiencing the exact same issue and getting the same error code that is part of the recall. I also read that it is part of the federal emissions warranty, which is eight year 80,000 miles. My car has 59,000 miles on it and I verify that it’s still under warranty from that standpoint. I want to take it into the dealership on Monday, but I need to know what my options are to get it repaired for free under this recall since currently my car is not coming up via this VIN under this recall”

“The engine in my 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe High Country equipped with the 6.2L V8 (L87) experienced a catastrophic failure. While driving, the vehicle suddenly lost power, displayed a “Service ESC” warning, illuminated the check engine light, and unexpectedly shifted into Neutral. After stopping the vehicle, it would not restart. The dashboard would illuminate, but the engine would only produce a faint clicking sound and would not crank. The vehicle was towed to a Chevrolet dealership, where it remains available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This failure occurred while I was driving, causing an unexpected loss of power and propulsion. The vehicle became disabled without warning, creating a significant risk of being struck by surrounding traffic. Losing the ability to accelerate or safely maneuver a full-size SUV in traffic placed both me and other motorists at risk of a serious crash. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Chevrolet dealership, Crews Chevrolet. The dealership confirmed that the engine had catastrophically failed and…”
