Consumer Description

2001 GMC SIERRA - 8.1 ENGINE. ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND/OR FAILURE TO RESTART AFTER SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS AN NHTSA CASE FOR RECALLS, 07V521000, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN 06083 BY GM FOR A DEFECTIVE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. GM WOULD NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL IN SPITE OF IT BEING AN IDENTICAL FAILURE. I BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES WITH DEFECTIVE SENSORS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. IT COST OVER $700 TO REPAIR WHAT I BELIEVE IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT AFTER MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SHUT DOWN RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES SO IT WAS DIFFICULT TO COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
