I wanted to provide an update on this situation. National GM called and said that they would only allow me to get a rental vehicle for $44 a day while I wait for my part to come in and my Tahoe to be fixed. This is such a dumb policy as it barely covers a sedan. My dealer is working to get an exception, but I am not happy with GM service. Has anyone else had this issue when having such a major thing go wrong with a new vehicle? All my fears about leaving Toyota and Honda to come to GM seem to be coming true.

Add one more FPCM. Took about a week for diagnosis, then two or three days to finish. "22, 6.2, broke down 7-1-24 with 16,000 miles.

Thanks for sharing. Did they put a whole new engine in for you? If so, have you had any issues with the new one?

I specifically went with the 5.3 as I looked at feedback on here and it seemed most were having issues with the 6.2. The dealer said they don't have spare 5.3's available so they will have to pull one off the factory line that is scheduled to go in a new vehicle being built.

Doesn't "FPCM" mean "fuel pump control module"? Why would they replace the whole engine if just the module crapped out?

My mother's '09 Caddy DTS' FPCM just crapped out this summer. Its failure didn't cause any damage to anything. The engine just wouldn't turn over once the module failed. Everything was fine once the module was replaced.

To quote GM's Quality website:
"At GM, we’re focused on engineering high-quality, durable and reliable products that hold up to the every day."

Given all the blown engines and failing electronics I'm reading about, does that really seem to be the case?

Perhaps an update is in order... something to the effect:
"At GM, our staff of remote, third world designers and suppliers assure you'll soon be on a first name basis with your dealership's friendly and helpful service and parts staff on a regular basis."

:)
