Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2001 GMC C2500

2001 GMC sierra - 8. 1 engine. Engine shutting off while driving and/or failure to restart after shut down. There was an NHTSA case for recalls, 07v521000, but my vehicle was not part of the recall campaign 06083 by gm for a defectice crankshaft position sensor. Gm would not include my vehicle in the recall in spite of it being an identical failure. I beleive there are more vehicles with defective sensors that were not included in the original recall. It cost over $700 to repair what I beleive is a big safety problem. I was lucky to not get in an accident after my engine shut off while driving on the highway. The shut down resulted in a loss of power steering and power brakes so it was difficult to coast to a safe loaction on the highway.
