While driving down the highway @ 75mph the vehicle shut off. this has now happened multiple times and is a safety issue. while in traffic vehicles are having to make quick adjustments to avoid hitting my vehicle and for their safety. i called this into our local chevy dealership here in colorado springs co along with calling chevrolet recall center to be told that my vehicle is not on their list. well apparently it should be along with all the other 2001 2500 hd silverado's that are experiencing this problem.

First incident: vehicle driven 100 miles and then shut off for about 6 hours. started right up and moved about 100 yards and shut off for about 30 minutes. tried to start it and wouldn't start. after about 15 minutes, it started and vehicle driven home without further problem. second incident, vehicle stall while moving in city traffic (about 35 mph). came to a stop at the bottom of a busy underpass near a major intersection. i called 911 and asked that a wrecker be dispatched. as 911 waiting for a response from the wrecker company (two to three minutes), the vehicle started and i returned to my residence. scan with obd device indicated crankshaft position sensor failure. internet research of the problem confirms. your investigation ea06-016 and subsequent nhtsa campaign number 07v521000 crankshaft position sensor indicates a safety recall. for some reason, gm (denny menholt chevrolet) as well as your website, indicates no recalls on this vehicle. i have an appointment at the above dealership on 10/22 to have the cps replaced. why isn't my vehicle part of the recall? the stall while moving at 35 mph was dangerous and the repair is expensive! thank you. i look forward to hearing from you. *tr
