On december 4th, 2024, i was driving my blazer up to our local museum to grab some information. The museum is about a mile and a half from my house. When i had left my house, the car was driving like normal. I pulled into a parking spot at the musuem, and i went to shut the vehicle off, and i thought maybe the check engine light had come on but wasn't completely paying attention to the dash. About 10 minutes later i went to restart the vehicle to leave and i noticed the check engine light on. Since the vehicle seemed to be driving okay i thought i could make it home and check the car's computer to see what the issue was. As i was leaving the parking lot i stopped at the end of the parking lot to look before pulling out onto the road and the blazer said shift to neutral and restart the vehicle. When i did that the vehicle would not start. It would just crank and crank and then it would finally start for a few seconds. I was going to back my vehicle up out of the road but each time i would try the car would die. I am very thankful this did not happen on the highway or even on the freeway. A friend and myself had to push my vehicle back into a parking spot. The dtc code is a p023f. When this happens, you can't technically shift the vehicle into neutral to push it out of the way because the car has to be running to shift. I was able to force it into neutral, however. I made an appointment with awesome chevrolet in chehalis wa and had to have it towed to the dealer. They stated it was the fuel pump module. I had at that time 18,388 miles on the odometer. Unfortunately, i no longer feel safe with this vehicle in case it happens again. Where i am hours from home or on a 2-lane road or freeway. The fuel pump module failure appears to be a known issue with gm vehicles. The fuel pump module was replaced and was able to be replaced under warranty. I hope that it does not happen again.
