ENGINE
VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IDLE. SOMETIMES IT STARTS BACK UP IMMEDIATELY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL JUST CRANK OVER BUT WILL NOT START. AFTER LETTING IT SIT SOMETIMES 5 TO 20 MINUTES AT A TIME IT WILL THEN START BACK UP. ALL RESEARCH AND ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE INDICATE A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.

I ENQUIRE AT THE LOCAL DEALER VENDEHTTI MOTORS, FRANKLIN, MA ABOUT IT AFTER SUPPLYING THE VIN NUMBER, THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL? I SAY TO THEM THAT "HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN IT IS DOING WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR" & THEY SAID "THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AT THE FACTORY BEFORE MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED"? SO I AM ASKING WHY I WILL HAVE TO PAY POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD AT PRESENT, WHEN OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED TO BEGIN WITH. SENSOR IN BAD LOCATION.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE DIED ON ME IN A PARKING LOT AND WOULDN'T RESTART FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES. THE SECOND INCIDENCE WAS THE SAME. THE THIRD INCIDENT, IT STOPPED ON ME AS I WAS COMING OFF AN EXIT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD JUST REACHED 50 MPH WHEN IT CUT OUT. IT WOULD NOT RESTART FOR 15-20 MINUTES. THE NEXT AND FINAL EVENT BEFORE REACHING A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM...THE TRUCK CUT OUT AS I WAS ON AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND BUSY SECTION OF HIGHWAY DOING 60 MPH. I THANK GOD IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH OR SOMETHING FATAL COULD HAVE OCCURED. IN BETWEEN EACH OF THESE EVENTS, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE MECHANIC AND TRIED DIFFERENT OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER REPAIRS THAT I WAS TOLD WASN'T A PROBLEM BUT I HAD NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED. THERE WERE NO CODES THROWN FOR THE MECHANIC TO GO BY. AFTER THE LAST EVENT ON THE HIGHWAY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT EXCEPT THE TRUCK BACK UNTIL THEY KNEW WHAT IT WAS. AFTER MUCH ARGUING, THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR UPON MY REQUEST. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THROWING A CODE FOR THAT AND THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T BREAK OFF DURING REPAIR AND RESULT IN AN EVEN COSTLIER REPAIR. I DIDN'T CARE AT THAT POINT AND TOLD THEM TO DO IT. I HAD READ MANY OTHER REPORTS ON MECHANIC SITES ABOUT THIS SENSOR BEING RECALLED ON SOME BUT NOT ALL GMC 2500 HD TRUCKS SO I INSISTED THE DEALER REPLACE MINE. MINE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALLED VIN# SO IT WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR ME! IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE AND IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS NOW. I AM STILL UPSET AT THE LACK OF AGREEMENT ABOUT EXTENDING THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE TO OTHER VIN#'S. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN NOT ONLY ME KILLED, BUT MY 2 YOUNG SONS WHO RIDE WITH ME EVERYWHERE. I AM VERY ANGRY AT THE MAKERS! NOTHING WILL FIX THAT. EVER.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED MY 2001 GMC SIERRA 2500HD TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000 MILES ON IT. DURING THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT, IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS COMING LOOSE, DUE TO LOOSING STUDS, BROKEN STUDS OR THE STUDS JUST FALLING OUT. THE TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM FOUR OR FIVE TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF PROBLEM ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED AND I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES. THE DANGER THAT THIS PROBLEM CREATES IS THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE AND CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. GM/THE DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, SO I AM FORCED TO TURN IT OVER TO YOU.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE OWNED MY 2001 GMC SIERRA 2500HD TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 92000 MILES ON IT. WITH THE BRAKE LINE PROBLEM I RECENTLY HAD I FIGURED I SHOULD REPORT THE OTHER ISSUES THAT I DON?T THINK I SHOULD BE HAVING WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. THE OIL COOLER LINES AND THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES HAVE ALL RUSTED THROUGH AND HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALONG WITH THE LINES, THE CONNECTORS FOR THE LINES HAVE ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE (THEY RUSTED SO BAD THAT WERE FALLING APART). IF THE VEHICLE WAS 20 YEARS OLD I MIGHT EXPECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT ON ONE LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND THE MILEAGE THAT IT HAS.

I HAVE A TRUCK THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL IN THIS RECALL NUMBER 07V521000 YET GMC DOES NOT CLAIM IT IN THE RECALL. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RECALL IS FOR A STALLED ENGINE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY TIMES. WHY WOULDN'T GMC COVER ALL THE VEHICLES INVOLVED. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS. I AM ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE , BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS TO MY WIFE THE BEST SHE CAN DO IS COAST TO A STOP. THIS IS CITY DRIVING SO THE FAILURE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2001 GMC SIERRA 2500HD WITH AN 8.1 LITER V8 GASOLINE ENGINE. WHILE I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TRYING TO DIAGNOSE WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH IT, I STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR WEBSITE STATING THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THAT TRUCK WITH THAT ENGINE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 07V521000. THIS RECALL INFORMATION DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE AND THAT PART IS ONE I WAS DOING RESEARCH ON BASED UPON A MECHANIC FRIENDS ADVICE. I WAS EXCITED TO HEAR THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE PART PUT ON PROFESSIONALLY AND AM NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE TO DO IT MYSELF. THIS DEFECT REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THE TRUCK HAS GONE DEAD AND I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION AND ALSO HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING AND NOT STEERING EASILY OR STOPPING EASILY. SO I CALLED A TOLL FREE NUMBER THAT I GOT FOR GMC AND THEY TELL ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY DOING THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALL DEFINES. MY VIN# IS . I HOPE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN DO TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO AFFECT MY VEHICLE OR LET GMC KNOW THAT IT ALREADY DOES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.
