Consumer Description

MY 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD2500 P/U STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEMS IN JULY 2007. THE ENGINE WOULD DIE AND IT WOULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART. FINALLY IN SEPT 2007 IT DIED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT OVER 65 MPH. THE POWERSTEERING STOPPED AND THE POWER BRAKE ASSIST STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CHARGED ME $420.99. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 37,546 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME BUT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS SINCE THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THEIR RECALL # 06083 NHTSA ID#07V521000 AND THEY ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SINCE IT IS THE SAME 8.1 ENGINE AND YEAR/MODEL. IF YOU GO ON THE GM-TRUCK.COM WEB SITE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS AVERY COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 8.1 GM ENGINES. *TR
