My ABS speed sensor got sheared by back of my front drivers side tire in which I have seen on multiple sights a defect that was deemed a recall for being poorly set up on the assembly line. Secondly, ive spent thousands and looking online for a vary serious issue ive been having with my vehicle due to intermediate stalling, backfiring, and vehicle dieing due to what has finally been found to be the infamous crankshaft sensor. Replaced my computer, all 02 sensors, egr valve exc... Than upon looking and researching, I find it was a major one on recall as well for failing all the time. I just feel if these are factory errors and been on the recall, and my woman who travels with me that is paralyzed due to an accident, I should be entitiled to the recalls giving they were known flaws on the asssembly line and a danger to others. When the vehicle stalls out, it starts choking, backfiring, and bucking and wants to lock up and loose control. Not cool. Ive been chasing this problem spending thousands in parts and repairs to make this truck safe for work and feel if there has been recalls for all this, would be nice to reap something out of my investment in this truck

The glow plugs and fuel injectors fail prematurely I was told by the locol servace manager that there was plenty of time to get the repairs but a few weeks later when I brought it in for the supposed free repairs they tell me the time for mine is over its too old. When no one had showed me a print out and the company I bout it from never disclosed the issue. If the vehicle stalls in traffic it could cause an accident.

While towing a 7000 lb 5th wheel trailer the electrical plug between the vehicle and trailer became partially dislodged and affected the vehicle electrical system which made the gauge needles go haywire including the tachometer. Engine stalled with resultant loss of power steering and brakes. Luckily was able to pull into parking lot and stop using trailer brakes. Reinserted plug fully into socket and have not had a problem since.

I believe that I also have a problem with my ignition and front panel. I can pull my key out in any position. Everything lights up on the dashboard at one time or another. It has called my vehicle to stall or even shut down altogether. I don't understand why my vehicle has not been recalled. I have had it in several times but am unable to find out what the cause is. Please help me. My truck scares me so much, I'm afraid to drive it, especially on the freeway, or roads that are blacked out for cell phones, and no way to get help.

I own a 2002 chevrolet 2500 hd with the 8.1 (8100 vortec) engine. I had began having problems with the engine stalling while driving periodically. It became a frequent problem. I had the vehicle scanned at a local auto parts store with no fault codes showing. I learned the crankshaft position sensor was at fault by doing some online research. I also learned the same engine had a recall in 2001 and not 2002 the fact the vehicle stalls during operation is a serious hazard . Chevrolet needs to take responsibility for this and recall these vehicles . I changed my own , but chevrolet needs to fix this fast before someone dies if they haven't already !

2002 2500hd chevy silverado stalling for the last 6 months randomly. Taken to have fixed cannot identify the problem with computer scan. Truck stalling on the highway many times. Once truck stalls, turn off key, let set for 10 -15 seconds, restart. I guess the system resets itself. This is not safe.
