: the contact stated the vehicle stalled without warning at speeds between 10-20 mph. The vehicle restarted each time. The vehicle had not been inspected by the dealership.
GMC Yukon xl 2500, 8. 1l engine. . . Purchased truck (2nd owner) 8/2005 from GMC dealer. Noticed first occasion of stalling app. 10/05 or 11/05. Dealer said "couldn't reproduce complaint" and released the vehicle. Truck drove ok for awhile and began stalling again, this time gm dealer said "fuel pump" ($900+). Truck continued to stall on and off for years, each time no one could find problem. . Recently, summer of 09, it has become worse (more frequent and longer time to re-start) and after two independent diagnostic tests by two separate certified mechanics, it was determined to be the crank positioning sensor. I had already heard about this problem but since my VIN wasn't included in the recall (even though its the same year, model and engine) I am being told that the dealership will not cover!!! I don't know what else to do. . I cant drive this vehicle any longer because it stalls much more often and without any warning meaning loss of power steering, etc and risk of crash. I have called gm as recent as today (12/09) and they are still singing the same tune. . "your vehicle VIN# isn't included in the recall". Next stop media outlets!!.
My 2001 xl 2500 has had periodic problems starting and stalling at different times. The starting problem happens about 2 times as often as the stalling problem. They do not happen at the same time. Usually, if it doesn't fire right up you have to wait about twenty seconds and try again. It usually starts the second or third time. The stalling problem is less detectable. It has happened about 4 times total. Each time I was fortunate to be going under 30 miles per hour and able to compensate for the loss of power. I did not purchase this vehicle as new and do not know if prior owner experienced any problems. It had 30,000 miles on it when I purchased it in Jan. 2002.
The contact owns a 2001 GMC Yukon xl 2500. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and lost power steering. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but it took a few minutes. He drove the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the crankshaft position sensor and there had been no further occurrences. After the repair, he discovered the recall for the same defect for the Yukon, but not for the Yukon xl, even though it had the same motor. He called the manufacturer and they stated that the VIN was not included in the recall, although the contact feels that it should be included. The recall number was unknown. The failure mileage was 82,000.
Vehicle stalls at any speed. Has stalled 15-20 times. To dealer 3 times, cannot remedy problem.
