What owners wrote
2012 chevrolet impala lt. Consumer states high pressure fuel pump is very noisy when accelerating from a stand still and also states issues with vibration *tgw the consumer stated the accelerator motor made a loud noise. The consumer stated the fuel lines, which apparently run directly under the driver's side floor, vibrate due to the harmonics set up by the high pressure fuel pump. The vibration is continuous and can be felt through the floor and up into the driver's seat.
The engine goes dead without warning while I'm driving down the road. No lights on or any other indications that it is about to happen. Will not re crank. Realize that it happens when my fuel system is about 60 miles to empty. After putting gas in I can crank it right up and go until it hits around 60 miles to empty and it will go dead again without warning, very dangerous and scary thing to happen in traffic.
