NHTSA Complaint #11012918 — 2009 GMC CANYON

ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS IN DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE STARTS THEN SPUTTERS AND STALLS AS IF NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS AND ATTEMPTS TO DIE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, IT FINALLY CATCHES UP AND RUNS. ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHS SEVERAL TIMES. ACCORDING TO DOCUMENT ID # 2274089--- #08411 PRODUCT SAFETY- HARD START, NO START, ENGINE STALL- REPLACE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE- ( MAY 7, 2009) I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST ALONG WITH A COPY OF RECALL BUT THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS A SERVICE BULLENTIN AND NOT A RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT GATEWAY SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE ENGINE STALL. THEY PULLED UP THE RECALL AND SHOWED IT TO ME AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL THAT THE GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST BUT GM DENYS THAT A RECALL EXIST EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN HAND.THE RECALL PERTAINS TO TRUCK NUMBERSBETWEEN 98104805 - 98123129. MY TRUCK # IS 98123053 WHICH FALLS IN THAT CATEGORY. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY BUT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED SINCE I HAVE HAD POSESSION. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED.
