1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Failure Date: 12/01/2016

We have had repeated instances, where engine light comes on, and fuel guage flat lines. If you can not get to a qualified dealer soon enough, vehicle shuts down without warning[actually it remains running until it almost comes to a complete stop]. We have had to instances of shut down, and at least 6 instances altogether of engine light/ fuel guage flat line. This has all happened since vehicle was put in service in January / 2016. We use this vehicle to travel across the lower 48, and parts of canada, to pick up breeding bulls, that have values ranging as high as 1 million or more. These animals have all been tested for transport back to our facilities in plain city, OH, and once on the trailer, are not to be removed, unless it is an absolute emergency, because of regulations. Our concern is that, what happens if this vehicle is going up a mountain hwy or any other situation where there is another vehicle following to closely and they hit us and end up killing the animals, me, the person that hit me, or all of us over a fuel transfer pump that gm says is not part of it's powertrain warranty or no longer in it's bumper to bumper warranty. Their line is, that the vehicle is currently repaired, and functioning properly, therefore there is no issue or any reason to keep a case file # on it. We have learned thru other instances, that there is a dealer service bulliten for the same problem we have been experiencing, and supposedly they are trying to find a solution, which has yet to come to light. All instances on this matter have happened in various states across the country, while cruising at speeds between 65 & 70 mph on interstate hwy to this date, with the last instance being on 12/01/2016. We have expressed concerns to gm of safety, and an actual fix for this issue, and so far the best we get from them is, we're sorry for your inconvenience.

3 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Failure Date: 04/11/2010

I have a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 crew cab with dual wheels. Several times recently the truck has lost power while driving at highway speeds. Yesterday my wife was driving it, and it shut off while turning a corner in the center of exeter nh. It lost power steering and the truck went off the road onto the sidewalk by the town hall, narrowly missing pedestrians. I took it to a garage and found out it is being caused by the crank shaft position sensor they told me there was a dealer recall. I called the dealer and they said my vehicle isn't included. The NHTSA campaign # for the existing recall is 07v52100.

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Failure Date: 07/30/2009

2001 chevy silverado pick up 8. 1liter. Vehicle will shut down without any warnings. Then will restart after slight cool down. Happened on several different occasions. Found recall notice no. 06083. Called gm and was told my VIN# doesn't match. How does gm knowingly let this happen just because not enough complaints have been issued for this batch of trucks when it has the same diagnoses as the others??? no more gm for me!.
