I have a 2001 chevy suburburban that completely stalled out, (sept 29,2011) when I was getting ready to transport my four young children to school. Please note, that I'm in an area that is not accessible by public transportation. This means that when my car is down, I'm at the mercy of friends and neighbors which is quite an inconvenience. I hired a service guy to diagnose the problem and he said it was a problem with the crankshaft. While ordering the part, he was notified that the part was on a recall list. I checked the website NHTSA. Gov to verify and the recall #07v521000 did exist. I contacted the chevy dealer (nash Chevrolet) in snellville and was told that my VIN# was not in the batch and if they serviced it, the cost would be $2500. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that my problem could be attributed to wear and tear. I would like to know if there is any possibility to get the dealer to repair my car and if it's possible to have the investigation reopened and the scope adjusted to include all 2001 Suburbans that are nonconforming. I would like to also know, how does gm/chevy determine which customers deserve to be safe on the road, and why weren't all their qualifying consumers notified. Is gm above the law? how is it that gm is not allowed to comply to these federal laws after an investigation has been conducted? does gm only respond to their customers if their is death and dismemberment or if litigation is involved? please advise.
Beginning in August 2009 my 01 chevy Suburban would stall while I was driving. After the first time, a new battery was installed. This happened 2 more times from mid August 09 to 9/15/09 at which time we brought the truck in for service. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem and we brought the truck home. About a week later, it happened again and then 3 more times between 9/15 and 10/15/09. During this period we found a recall notice (gm recall no. 06083) for a crankshaft sensor covering 2001 Suburbans, but not my particular vehicle. The recall detailed the exact problem I was having. The truck was brought into the dealer on 10/15/09 and I insisted that the crankshaft sensor be replaced. To date, there have been no further problems with the vehicle and I believe that the crankshaft sensor was the cause of the stalling.
Bought a used 01 Suburban on 9/10/06 it has 826000 miles on it. The day after I bought it driving down the road 30 mph, the truck stalled. I put it in neutral, still rolling and attempted to restart 2 or 3 times. It finally started. It has also done it at a dead stop at the bank drive through. This time it didn't restart until I pulled the key and reinserted it and it started. As of today 9/19/06 it has done it at least 7 times. I took it to Chevrolet they said possible crank position sensor?.
My 2001 Suburban has stalled in traffic twice. I was able to turn the ignition off and then restart the engine both times. I have experienced trouble starting the car as well. Problem goes away if the ignition is switched off and on several times. I am very concerned about the stalling in traffic. The vehicle is large and difficult to control without power steering and brakes. It is also very dangerous to be stalled in rush hour traffic.
While making a u-turn the vehicle stall. Condition causes loss of power assist and power brakes. No incident has occurred due to this issue. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified.
