general problems of the 2007 GMC Sierra 1500

Steering positioning / angle sensor, fault that could shut your vehicle down while driving. I have a 2007 GMC sierra and this is the second time I have had an issue with the exact same part, the steering position/ angle sensor. I have been trying for more than 2 months to get a dealership to order me the part to have it repaired but only to be told the part has been discontinued my general motors. There are numerous vehicle still on the road that have this issue and gm discontinued this part.

Truck randomly doesnt start. No crank no start became more frequent and has now died at hwy speeds 3-4 times. Resulting in no power steering,no abs, airbags become deactivated in a stall situation to my knowledge. Making it very hard to control the truck in order to get it off the hwy/roadway. Stabilitrak light, tire pressure light, traction control light all stay on and the most recent light is now the abs light. Now it's to a the point of hardly starting at all. The key has recently became very hard to turn as well. Originally the door locks would cycle multiple times , and interior lights dash lights would all cycle at fast rate all at once. When this first happened I was always able to eventually get the truck to start a short time after. Engine power reduced is another specific warning that appears now that it's now dying while driving down the hwy. Each incident when the truck has stalled it's been when driving at least 60 mph. Or more. Numerous owners of gm vehicles are and have been having the same issues for far too long with little being done for alot of these owners.
