2 Battery problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Failure Date: 12/23/2008

My vehice would stall out on me at any time for about 2 months it didn't matter what speed I was doing or where I was it would stall out so I would have to coast to the side of the road with no power steering and wait to crank the vehicle back up. Then December 23 2008 I was on my way home and it completely stopped I couldn't get it to crank battery was completely dead and it was at night on a highway. I took it to every dealer ship and every mechanic and noone could tell me what was wrong with it. Finally I looked online at recalls and found that there is a recall for the exact make and model of my vehicle but when I called GMC they told me that there was no recall for my vehicle so I went and paid out of my own pocket to fix this problem. This is a major problem that they have found but aren't doing anything about it for me I mean if they have the recall already for the same vehicle then why isn't my vehicle included?.
