Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET 2500 HD WITH THE 8.1 (8100 VORTEC) ENGINE. I HAD BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING PERIODICALLY. IT BECAME A FREQUENT PROBLEM. I HAD THE VEHICLE SCANNED AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE WITH NO FAULT CODES SHOWING. I LEARNED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS AT FAULT BY DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH. I ALSO LEARNED THE SAME ENGINE HAD A RECALL IN 2001 AND NOT 2002 THE FACT THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING OPERATION IS A SERIOUS HAZARD . CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES . I CHANGED MY OWN , BUT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX THIS FAST BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY ! *TR
