I have been experiencing complete engine failure while driving at highway speeds without any warning. I notice a loss of power and notice the engine light is on and the vehicle is difficult to steer. After coasting to the left side of the road, the vehicle igition is turned off and after several attempts, the car starts again and I can drive to my destination. Fuel pump and fuel ines were replaced less than 2 years ago when a similar problem was experienced.

While driving at highway speeds with my 2002 Chevrolet Suburban LS with 45,000 miles on it, I encountered a complete engine failure. The vehicle would coast until I reached a speed of 30mph. , I would place the vehicle in neutral and attempt to re-start the engine. After several attempts, the vehicle would re-start, accelerate to 70 mps. This would occur intermittent over and over through my two driving trip. The actual number of time the engine failed was 14. This caused a very serious situation, because without engine power, I had no power brakes, steering or the ability to maintain speed, which resulted in me locating the road shoulder immediately! I contacted the dealer I use regularly and they informed me this is the first time they have ever heard of this. However, after researching the internet I discovered through forums this is a problem that many people are experiencing. I contacted the local dealership at my destination at 1000 us highway 1 (772) 567-8371 , vero beach, FL 32960 made an appointment for Monday July 14, 2008 at 8:30am. Again I was told by the service writer they have never heard of this problem. I also located a document called,"NHTSA defect investigation # pe06016 closed. I am the original owner of the 2002 vehicle and have not moved from 1997-2008. How do I get this resolved and at no cost to me? just maybe the dealership will fix the problem without any problems, however from my many past experiences with dealerships, the last is not the usual. Please feel free to contact me to help assist me in fixing the vehicle and the cost terms if need. Thank you. Mark deehl.

Since purchasing an 02 Chevrolet surburban, 8. 1l and 81k miles, I have experienced multiple random engine shut offs while highway driving, creating dangerous safety situations. The motor will restart after a 5 minute rest period and run fine, until the next failure which occurs without warning. The dealership has so far been unable to diagnose the problem, cleaned maf sensor, replaced thermostat and fan clutch, changed oil, checked fuel pump pressure. No engine failure codes reported. Researching internet information, I have discovered a recurring symptom related to an intermittent crankshaft position sensor (ckp) failure, that causes the engine to shut off. There is a a timed reset which allows the engine to restart.
The 16 lifters in the engine failed and need to be replaced, per consumer. Problem recurred.
