Engine shuts down while driving: I have a yukon xl 2002. Over the past 6 months the engine would suddenly shut down while the car is being driven. It has occurred at high speed and at low speed. I have taken it back to the dealer no less than 5 times and the problem persists. This represents a major danger as while on the highway, when the engine shuts down the car becomes difficult to maneuver and moving out of the highway traffic has been each time extremely dangerous to me and to other drivers.

My gmc yukon 2500 with the 8.1l stalls while driving. This is unexplainable and unrepeatable. This has occurred probably 6 or 7 times and is a real danger as you loose power steering and brakes. I believe it is the cam positioning sensor. What is my recourse to have fixed by manufacturer.
Car stalls while traveling down highway, occurs at least once on each trip. Time of occurrence is between 3 and 30 miles. Several times it has stalled and would not restart while in motion, those time took several minutes to five minutes to get it restarted. Problem started six months ago and has proceeded getting worse. Has been serviced by dealership 5 times since first time. They have replaced several items that have not corrected the problem. We have had several near rear end crashes and scary moments when on the inside lane of an interstate pulling a 16 ft trailer.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 75 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted and the manufacturer was alerted. Updated 11/9/2006 - the vehicle stalled three times in one day and another time about 16 months ago. The consumer was told by a service manager that the problem was with a computer ring in the key switch assembly.
2002 gmc yukon xl fuel pump failure. Ecmb fuse was blown which runs the fuel pump. Fuel pressure was found at 24 psi. This engine requires 55-62 psi. Current draw on the pump is at 9 amps. This is way too high. Truck was started after replacing fuse, but runs badly and stalls out. Truck is not under warranty, because the dealership filled out wrong paperwork at the time of purchase. The contract was denied because of this error. Cost for replacing fuel pump is $950.00. Truck is still not fixed. Jb
