2001 silverado hd 8.1l engine 51,009 miles. Experiencing issues associated with the federal safety agency id # 07v521000. I have had it checked and the scanner shows a crankshaft position sensor failure. I took it to the dealer and was told that they will not fix it due to my VIN number being outside the recalled groups. Even though it is in the date range of the effected units. I did some research and found that my truck has the same exact part number of the item that is failing. This has caused me to almost be rear ended 3 times and several other times where it quits at highway speed or in an intersection and I loose good steering and braking control. The last time (last saturday) left me and my 2 children (4 and 7) walking in a snow storm with poor visibility and risking freezing temps and almost getting hit by other traffic. It will usually start again but then runs rough but sometimes I have to let it sit for an hour before it will start. Vic canever chevrolet in fenton mi is the dealer that said that they will not honor the recall due to VIN number not in their system as a recalled unit and the gm customer service hotline would not assist me either.

I have a 2001 2500 hd chevrolet with the 8.1 liter engine. The vehicle will stall in traffic and will not start again. The truck will run rough sometimes will start after a cool down period. This is a very dangerous situation with it stalling in traffic. This is the crankshaft sensor which is covered for same pickup with same engine out of a different plant. They say even though it is the same faulty part my pickup is not covered because it is from a different plant. This almost caused a accident while I was driving as it stalled as I was making a turn.
