Per NHTSA campaign id#07v521000, the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 is subject to this recall by gm. I have experienced the same described problem of vehicle engine stalling and not operative while traveling on the road. I have contacted both gm and gm's local authorized dealership in concord, California. Both refused to honor this recall. Please help before an accident occurred. Thank you.
Car stalled suddenly at 40 mph, losing power steering in traffic. After a few minutes the car restarted. Intermittently stalls. While gm has recalled 2001 Suburbans for crank position failures in this year model, my particular VIN number was not covered by the recall. I purchased replacement part and corrected the problem. Gm refused to reimburse. Very dangerous situation. No wonder gm is in decline with the lack of response to a very strange and dangerous engine stall with absolutely no warning.
I have a 2001 Suburban 2500 8. 1 l. 3/4 ton. The engine would stall while driving without warning. It has happened many times including in the middle of an intersection and on the freeway going at freeway speeds including hauling a trailer. When this occurs power steering and power brakes are lost with hopes of being able to coast to the side of the road without getting hit. Found NHTSA recall # 07v521000 and gm # 06083. This recall described my vehicles problem exactly. Took vehicle into dealership mentioning recall, our VIN # is not affected. Diagnostic showed crankshaft position sensor failure exactly like the recall. Gm would not cover any expenses because VIN was not included in recall. After reviewing other complaints, I see that there are others who have had the same issue and VIN #'s were excluded from the recall. This recall should be expanded to included a wider range of VIN #'s or at least investigated further. Too much of a coincidence and too dangerous of a situation to let this go.
