Car Stall problems of the 2002 GMC Envoy

While driving the Envoy at about 45 mph, a warning light saying "reduced engine power" came on suddenly, the car dropped down to about 20 mph, and that continues to occur. I can turn off and restart the car, but the problem returns within a minute after driving it again. I started investigating what that means online, and, as with anything else on the internet, I see many opinions, guesses, and possibilities. Could be a bad sensor, bad throttle control, bad wire connections, etc. But this much appears clear: (1) it is a gm problem, and a very, very common one. (2) it is a dangerous problem. This seems pretty obvious - the car suddenly loses speed and evidently sometimes stalls out altogether. But hearing about so many other people's scary experiences just confirms this. (3) it can be difficult and expensive to diagnose and fix. When I think of these facts, coupled with gm's recent history, I immediately think "recall. " this certainly appears to be an appropriate situation for a manufacturer to step in and fix the issue before more people get angry with gm, get hurt, or get killed. I called the dealer who sold the car (I am the second owner), in columbus, ohio. I was told that I can bring it in for a diagnosis for $110. (gee, thanks - wouldn't have thought of that. ) the customer rep looked up the VIN and said that the vehicle was not eligible for recall or any special policy. Therefore, I am contacting you in hope that something else can be done.

My 2002 Envoy has stalled 3 times now while traveling on the highway. Each time the engine quits and will not restart until disconnecting and re-connecting the battery.

I am concern about safety defect that exist in my GMC Envoy 2002. I own this vehicle since March 2002 (1 year) and it stalled 5 times already when driving. It happend 3 times when I stopped my vihicle at red traffic light and 2 times when breaking to slow down, driving downhill before a curve. This 2 times have scared me so much that I am affraid to use this car again. I drive cars for 28 years and nothing like that has happend to me in my life. Engine stops working, all lights go out and there is no control over the car whatsoever. I am happy no one got hurt in those incidents. This car has only 16k miles on it and has been in service numerous times already, including power steering leak - 2 times repaired. I do not think driving this car is safe and for that reason I cannot use it anymore.

When the car had 4500 miles, the engine stopped running when I was driving at 40 mph -- there were no warning signs or other problems beforehand. The car would not restart immediately - nothing happened when I turned the key -- then, after 45 minutes it started but the engine was very noisy and power to accelerate was very poor. The dealer fixed the noisy engine by recalibrating the pcm but they said no fault codes were registered in the car's computer so they can't figure out why the car stalled. I advised them about NHTSA recall campaign # 02v121000 fuel:fuel filter line where the symptoms were very similar to mine. They said there was no gm recall and there was no problem with my fuel filter fitting. The stall occured on 5/14/02 and I have driven 600 miles since then without incident. I called the GMC # listed in the recall notice on 5/24/02 and they said no recalls applied to my car (which was mfg'd in 9/01) and they had no knowledge of the NHTSA recall campaign # 02v121000. I'm concerned that whatever caused my car to stall while driving will reoccur and it is dangerous trying to pull over across traffic lanes to the shoulder without engine power or power steering.
