I have a 2001 chevy suburban that completely stalled out, (sept 29,2011) when I was getting ready to transport my four young children to school. Please note, that I'm in an area that is not accessible by public transportation. This means that when my car is down, I'm at the mercy of friends and neighbors which is quite an inconvenience. I hired a service guy to diagnose the problem and he said it was a problem with the crankshaft. While ordering the part, he was notified that the part was on a recall list. I checked the website to verify and the recall #07v521000 did exist. I contacted the chevy dealer (nash chevrolet) in snellville and was told that my VIN# was not in the batch and if they serviced it, the cost would be $2500. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that my problem could be attributed to wear and tear. I would like to know if there is any possibility to get the dealer to repair my car and if it's possible to have the investigation reopened and the scope adjusted to include all 2001 suburbans that are nonconforming. I would like to also know, how does gm/chevy determine which customers deserve to be safe on the road, and why weren't all their qualifying consumers notified. Is gm above the law? How is it that gm is not allowed to comply to these federal laws after an investigation has been conducted? Does gm only respond to their customers if their is death and dismemberment or if litigation is involved? Please advise.

Car stalled suddenly at 40 MPH, losing power steering in traffic. After a few minutes the car restarted. Intermittently stalls. While gm has recalled 2001 suburbans for crank position failures in this year model, my particular VIN number was not covered by the recall. I purchased replacement part and corrected the problem. Gm refused to reimburse. Very dangerous situation. No wonder gm is in decline with the lack of response to a very strange and dangerous engine stall with absolutely no warning.

My 2001 suburban has stalled in traffic twice. I was able to turn the ignition off and then restart the engine both times. I have experienced trouble starting the car as well. Problem goes away if the ignition is switched off and on several times. I am very concerned about the stalling in traffic. The vehicle is large and difficult to control without power steering and brakes. It is also very dangerous to be stalled in rush hour traffic.
