Vehicle stalls and shuts off while driving and idle. Sometimes it starts back up immediately, other times it will just crank over but will not start. After letting it sit sometimes 5 to 20 minutes at a time it will then start back up. All research and issues with the vehicle indicate a manufacturer recall of a crankshaft position sensor. The vehicle will stall or shut off at random whether it's in motion down the highway in the middle of a intersection or at a stop sign . I have almost been t-bones due to the vehicle stalling in the middle of the intersection and I have also had to replace my drivers mirror due to the vehicle stalling on the interstate and nearly being hit by another vehicle.
I have owned my 2001 GMC Sierra 2500hd truck since it was new. The vehicle currently has approximately 92000 miles on it. With the brake line problem I recently had I figured I should report the other issues that I don?t think I should be having with a vehicle that is less than 10 years old. The oil cooler lines and the transmission cooler lines have all rusted through and have had to be replaced. Along with the lines, the connectors for the lines have all had to be replaced due to catastrophic failure (they rusted so bad that were falling apart). If the vehicle was 20 years old I might expect this problem, but not on one less than 10 years old and the mileage that it has.
