Tl*the contact owns a 2001 gmc sierra 2500 hd. the contact stated that for the past year the vehicle had stalled intermittently. there were no prior warnings prior to the stalling, but the message center and battery light would illuminate after the failure occurred. the dealer performed a diagnostic test, but was unable to detect any failure codes. the contact tried replacing the fuel pump and relays, but that did not correct the failure. the contact then became aware of a recall for the crankshaft position sensor under recall campaign number 07v521000, engine and engine cooling. the manufacturer confirmed that although the vehicle was experiencing the same failure, it was not included in the recall. the failure mileage was 52000 and the current mileage was 58300. updated 02/07/11 *bf updated 04/20/11

I have a truck that has the same issue as the recall in this recall number 07v521000 yet gmc does not claim it in the recall. the issue is that the recall is for a stalled engine that i have experienced many times. why wouldn't gmc cover all the vehicles involved. the engine has stalled a number of times at high speeds. i am able to control the vehicle , but when it happens to my wife the best she can do is coast to a stop. this is city driving so the failure is an accident waiting to happen. *tr

I have a 2001 gmc sierra 2500hd with an 8.1 liter v8 gasoline engine. while i was doing some research on the internet trying to diagnose what could be wrong with it, i stumbled across your website stating that there had been a recall on that truck with that engine. nhtsa campaign id number : 07v521000. this recall information describes exactly what has been happening with my vehicle and that part is one i was doing research on based upon a mechanic friends advice. i was excited to hear that there was a recall as i cannot afford to have the part put on professionally and am not knowledgeable to do it myself. this defect really is a safety issue. over the past couple of weeks the truck has gone dead and i have been stuck in an intersection and also had to pull over several times while the vehicle was not running and not steering easily or stopping easily. so i called a toll free number that i got for gmc and they tell me that my truck is not covered even though it is clearly doing the same thing that the recall defines. my vin# is . i hope that there is something that your organization can do to extend the recall to affect my vehicle or let gmc know that it already does. thank you very much and do not hesitate to call me if you need any further information. *tr

While replacing the fuel injectors under a special injector warranty, the dealership broke a glowplug off and called to say i need to replace the cylinder head at my cost. call gmc customer support who say due to the age and mileage 2001, 124500. that the corrosion of the glowplug and the fact it seized in the cylinder head is not there problem, even though they are the one who designed the engine. they said that it's at my cost for a new cylinder head which was quoted to me over the phone at a price of $1,800.00. *tr
