The Beautiful One shut down...?

Came out of a restaurant after lunch today, the Beautiful One wouldn`t start. Mrs. B/B er, Mrs. S/S, thinks it`s bad gas, I think it`s more likely the fuel pump.
Anyway, had it towed (flat bed) to the nearest dealer, used the Chevy roadside assistance thing...
The truck came in a short while, had my son pick me/us up at the dealer, just left the keys in the drop box, call Mon. for report...

Certainly not, but it put some more fire under the S/S pot

Hey B/B
I had that problem, my HHr did the same thing in Lake forest, Shepard Chevrolet stated my Injectors where clogged they needed to be cleaned and filters changed, Runs like new now, but then again I had 49.000 miles and I was told also informed that I should be using 93% and not use the cheap fuel like 87%

I told the Service manager that my HHr runs great on 87% after all I have only had my HHr for 17 months. So I think thats a good record 49.000 and its still holding up. Good luck with yours, Your lucky because yours is still under warranty

I certainly hope I get the 'Beautiful One' back before late summer... Release date of S/S.
Before I called a tow, I checked the fuses, all were in solidly.
Could be bad gas... Bought some near Route 66 racetrack in Joliet, ran fine, didn`t see it coming.
I`ll find out tommorow, and it is a warranty covered ride, full/oem.

I assume it cranks but won't light off. Might also be ignition related.
