NHTSA Complaint #10255252 — 2001 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2500

I HAVE A 2001 SUBURBAN 2500 8.1 L. 3/4 TON. THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES INCLUDING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS INCLUDING HAULING A TRAILER. WHEN THIS OCCURS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST WITH HOPES OF BEING ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT. FOUND NHTSA RECALL # 07V521000 AND GM # 06083. THIS RECALL DESCRIBED MY VEHICLES PROBLEM EXACTLY. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP MENTIONING RECALL, OUR VIN # IS NOT AFFECTED. DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE EXACTLY LIKE THE RECALL. GM WOULD NOT COVER ANY EXPENSES BECAUSE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS, I SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND VIN #'S WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDED A WIDER RANGE OF VIN #'S OR AT LEAST INVESTIGATED FURTHER. TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE AND TOO DANGEROUS OF A SITUATION TO LET THIS GO. *TR
