Consumer Description

2002 CHEVY AVALANCHE 2500- NONE PROBLEM WITH CRANK SHAFT SENSOR FAILING. MY VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. UPON RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT CHEVY IS AWARE BUT HAS DONE NOTHING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR HURT IF THIS IS NOT COMMUNICATED. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES- SEE WEB SITE WWW.CHEVYAVALANCHFANCLUB.COM/CAFCNA/INDEX.PHP?TOPIC IF YOU JUST SEARCH CHEVY AVALANCHE ENGINE STALLING YOU WILL FIND ALL OF THE POSTS. MANY PEOPLE START BY CHANGING THEIR BATTERY, REPLACING THEIR FUEL PUMP AND FILTER, REPLACING THE AIR FILTER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. PLEASE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR A VEHICLE TO STALL LIKE THIS......... *TR
