TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN AT SPEEDS OF AT LEAST 60 MPH SITTING IDLE AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING POWER AS HE WOULD COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT WOULD BE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND ON OCCASION, IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A CLAIM FOR THE CONTACT BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 69,976. THE CONSUMER STATED SINCE THE REPORT WAS FILED, HE HAD THE CRANK SENSOR REPLACED AND IT ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. UPDATED EVOQ 10/22/10
