TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 SIERRA 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY THE ENGINE STALLED; HOWEVER, HE WAS ABLE TO RE-START IT IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A COOL DOWN PERIOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AT AN EXPENSE OF $400.59. HE THEN ADDED THAT BECAUSE THE VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL# 07V521000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,550. UPDATED 10/13/09 *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE GOING THROUGH HIS FILES, HE DISCOVERED THE CAM CAM SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2004. AT THAT TIME, ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CRANK SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2009. UPDATED 10/14/09. *JB
