While driving on the freeway my 2002 Suburban with a 5. 3l flex fuel equipped vehicle just would stall with out warning and cause me to lose all power steering and other item related to the engine running. I have to wait for the vehicle to cool down before being able to restart it. No code would show on the on board computer and after looking at other recalls it pointed to the crankshaft position sensor going bad. I am going to change it out in the morning. I have read others having this same issue in this year model and think chevy should do something about it.
The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. While traveling at 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Two weeks later, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The current and failure mileages were 167,000.
While traveling on busy street, our 2002 Chevrolet Suburban suddenly was without power. Pressing on accelerator did nothing and vehicle completely stalled when brake was applied. This left us attempting to navigate from busy street with our three kids in the car with no power steering or brakes! we were 140 miles from home and when we attempted to drive back home, this problem occurred again. This time on busy four lane road with lots of traffic. The vehicle stalled out again leaving us on side of busy road at on ramp location. This was not first time that this has occurred. We have had 5 other incidences with this vehicle. Gm is no help. They act like they have never had any reports of such problems, yet many can be found online. We had our vehicle towed to an independent repair center since the gm dealership repair shop was more interested in telling us that they couldn't fix it on that day but they did have a rental car service on lot. I hope that soon attention will be given to this obvious defect in this vehicle before someone is killed. But then again that is what it took for attention to be given to Toyota problems. Please take action for this matter before lives are lost!!!!.
The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 lt. While driving 35 mph the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was driven onto the side of the road. He waited a few minutes and was able to restart the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified. The failure mileage was 114,346.
My 2002 k2500 Suburban engine dies abruptly while driving, with no warning (neither sputtering nor messages on the dash). After pulling over to the shoulder and waiting between a few seconds and a few minutes, the engine will start. This happens at random times at any speed. Needless to say, this is an extreme safety hazard, as all power to steering and brakes is lost when the engine dies. These random stalls have been increasing in frequency over the last couple years. My car only has 36,000 miles - mostly highway driving. Apparently lots of people have experienced this potentially deadly condition. Is gm just going to wait for people to get killed before they issue a recall on this?.
Tl- the contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 2500. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the brakes would pulsate and increase stopping distance.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who replaced the crank shaft sensor. The vehicle was not repaired for the brake failure. The failure mileage was 113,204. Djr.
I have a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 4 wd with an 8. 1 liter engine with 67,000 miles on it. It has stalled out 5 times over the last 6 months, nearly causing a serious crash on the second to last one on interstate route 80 outside of sparta, new jersey. The engine just stops and I have no control over the vehicle. I have taken it to two mechanics who have not been able to repair it. I am afraid to drive the vehicle. What should I do and where should I go to get this fixed. It is a life safety issue not only for me, but my family and horses when we haul horses for our equestrian activities. Can you imagine the disaster this would be with people and horses on the highway if the vehicle stops dead!!??.
Vehicle would stall while driving without warning at all different speeds including highway speeds. Vehicle would sometimes stall 3 times per day, and sometimes not at all in a day. Loss of power steering and power brakes resulted which sometimes presented a challenge to safely get the vehicle off the highway or roadway while coasting to a stop. Stalls occured several times while towing a 5000 pound boat and also occured while towing a 9000 pound camper trailer. Two dealers looked at the vehicle and reported finding no cause for the stalling. I found an automotive internet discussion forum where many other people reported the same problem with the 8. 1l engine. Many of these people reported that the crankshaft position sensor was the cause, and that replacing the crankshaft position sensor would fix the problem. I took the vehicle back to the dealer to have the sensor replaced, and the vehicle has not stalled at all since the sensor was replaced.
On multiple occasions my 2002 Chevrolet Suburban stalled while driving on the freeway. After several minutes the truck would restart. The chevy dealer said there was nothing they could do since they would not be able to duplicate the condition. It does not trigger a check engine signal. It usually happens after long periods of freeway driving with no warning. This is not a low fuel issue. I suspect it is a crank position sensor failing after researching the issue on the internet.
While driving any speed vehicle stalled. Consumer managed to pull over, and restarted the vehicle. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
