NHTSA Complaint #10347346 — 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

THE CAR WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AS I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AFTER SHOPPING. THE ENGINE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE ENGINE STALLED, LOST POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES IN A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK. THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART AFTER ONE MINUTE OR MORE. THERE WERE NO SES OR MIL INDICATIONS OR DTC CODES. I GOOGLED THE FAILURE AND FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND A NHTSA RECALL 06083 FOR A 2001 YEAR MY VEHICLE IS A 2002. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND HAD THE CRANKCASE POSITION SENSOR REPLACED AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. TO ELABORATE ON THE PROBLEM IT DID OCCUR WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. THAT IS VERY SCARY AND AS THIS IS A TRUCK I COULD HAVE BEEN TOWING MY BOAT. I DO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE NOT REMOVED FROM INVENTORY OR THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS INADEQUATE. *TR
