There is a switch somewhere on the vehicle , it is designed to turn off the fuel pump in case of a roll over or hard accident , they can be set too sensitive and will shut off the fuel after hitting a bump .
That's only on Fords, GM does not use a switch like that.
Surprised that you had an issue with the wiring...in the 12 years we have had our Suburban, we've never had a problem with the wiring. Dealer should have fixed it for free under warranty, but I don't think you will get reimbursed for the towing. Overall the truck has been a very reliable tow vehicle, so don't be discouraged by this one little incident.
I use Good Sam Roadside assistance because they will tow the truck and trailer if necessary. Never had to use it but subscribed after my camping buddy spent $500 to have his Expedition and trailer towed off of the NJ Tpke when the transmission blew...and he was on the shoulder by the toll booth.
Agree with 6.7, the last thing you want to do is be stuck in the right lane on 95 coming down through the Bronx. If you were on a wide enough shoulder would be one thing, but stuck on the highway needs to be addressed ASAP.
