2 Service Engine Light On problem of the 1999 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 04/30/2015

After I put 55$ worth of gas in the truck it would not start. I waited about 5-10 minutes and it finally started. However,as I was driving,not even 5 miles from the gas station,the vehicle shut off at 45 mph. I pulled over and kept trying to start the truck. It was cranking but would not start. After about 5-10 minutes truck did start right back up. Then,not even another 5 miles the truck shut off again. This time I waited 20 minutes and the truck started right back up. I left it parked for about 5 wks then had the camshaftsensor replaced as well as the fuel pump and the fuel filter replaced,only this time the service engine light was in once these 3 parts were replaced. Service engine light was never on before these issues. Ive had it scanned and it read 5 different codes,including the cam shaft sensor,speed sensors on both left and right side along with 2 more that weren't given to me. Drove it a short distance (7 miles)& it shut of again 55 mph on a busy street. Had the codes cleared and drove it short distances in the last 3 days and today when I pulled up to a redlight it began acting as if it were gonna shut off. I came back home and parked it and dont plan on driving anywhere else until someone can give me an exact answer to the problem and I have it fixed!! I was told by 2 mechanics that they couldnt find an issue!!.

Failure Date: 08/11/2014

Engine was idling low and hesitating at low speeds, then engine started running rally rough. Service engine light came on, changed gas in vehicle, problem continued. Engine running really rough and service stabilitrack light came on. Took truck to dealership and was told the first spark plug was fouled due to oil contamination and that engine and fuel injectors and throttle body needed cleaning. This cost $475 and was not covered by warranty.

4 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2002 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 03/17/2012

We went on a fishing trip from wilson, nc to new port news. I drove all the way there with no problem. We arrived at the james river bridge and my truck cut off. It crunk up and rolled a little then died again. It took me 25 minutes to park. I had to wait until it decided to stay on. We fished then we left the next morning. My truck drove good with no problem. It normally takes us 2 hrs. To get back home. My truck stared cutting off again when we got 40 miles from home. It took 4 1/2 hrs. To get home from 40 miles away. It was so hot. My family had to wait along a hot, long, lonely highway. It started cutting off more. I had the fuel pump changed and also the filter. It hasn't cut off today but the engine light has come back on. It's been 3 days since those parts was replaced. I don't know why my service engine light is back on. It was off before it started cutting off. Now it stays on and never goes off.

: the contact stated the service engine light illuminated. A NHTSA recall was performed on the vehicle however; the recall did not remedy the problem. The recall information is not available. The dealership would not offer a second repair without charge under the recall.

Vehicle begins to vibrate on front passenger side at approximately 60 mph for 20-30 seconds then stops. The service engine soon light comes on. Mechanic indicates that the 4th cylinder is skipping. It is my understanding there is no "fix.
