2 Ignition Module problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 03/20/2003

Starting about three weeks ago, our 2001 Suburban would "shut down" without warning. It could be re-started. This happened 15 - 20 times during these three weeks. It has been in and out of the dealership during this period and the problem could be replicated at the dealership on occasion. As of now there is no cure and work continues. It's believed to be electrical in nature. To this point, the wiring from the key-switch to the computer has been bypassed, the on-board computer has been replaced, the ignition module has been replaced. The problem persists, with a potentially disastrous out come.

3 Ignition Module problem of the 2001 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 07/22/2001

Driving down the highway at 70 mph the vehicle ceased to operate. Luckily we were on a straight-away and able to coast to a stop on the shoulder. However our routes usually take us through the mountains and when the vehicle lost all control,ie; no brakes no steering, at any posted speed limit that could be dangerous. The dealer informs me that the main computer went out. There was absolutely no warning what so ever. The component just failed. The dealer advises me that the replacement part is of the same "grade" no updates for this part exist. This is not a comforting thought.

4 Ignition Module problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 05/28/2001

While driving vehicle at 40+ mph, the engine cuts off completely. Feel that this is a safety concern as the vehicle just "dies" and vehicle has to be guided to shoulder. First incident happened on interstate 95 n , just south of richmond, virginia, returning home with our 4 children. Found out later from a dealership that the 20 amp fuse called the ecm was blown. Since the first incident in may this problem has occurred 4 more times. We guide vehicle to side of road and replace the fuse, start the engine twice and we are on our way. At this time, the vehicle is at the dealership, hooked up to a "tech ii" computer for further diagnostics. Have informed dealership that I will not accept vehicle until this problem has definitely been resolved, as we are once again headed onto interstate 95 and may not be so lucky next time. Thanks for your time, please do not hesitate to contact me as we are very eager to get to the bottom of this potentially dangerous problem. Maryanne combs (703) 266-3173.
