I USE MY TRUCK TO PULL A 5TH WHEEL CAMPER. WHEN I STARTED TO CHECK IT OUT THIS YEAR, I NOTICED A FUNNY SHIFT PATTERN AND A GROWL WITH TEMPORARY BRAKE LOSS AT APPROX. 4 MI. PRE HR OR LESS. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY SENT ME TO A GM DEALER TO HAVE THE TCM REFLASHED. THAT FIXED THE SHIFT HARSHNESS. AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THE GROWLING AGAIN. IT IS NOT EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL END UP LOOSING THE BRAKES LONG ENOUGH TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE INTERNET STUDIES I FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL THAT IS FOR THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. I CALLED 2 DEALERSHIPS BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE PARTS USED ONLY ON SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERED VEHICLES. I ASKED THAT IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY IS MY PART FAILING IN THE EXACT SAME MANNER IF IT IS NOT DEFECTIVE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECH. THAT THIS WAS A GOOD QUESTION AND HE WOULD CALL GM TO SEE IF MY TRUCK QUALIFIED. APPARENTLY NOT OR I WOULDN'T BE FILING THIS. MY RESEARCH ALSO SHOWED ANOTHER COMPLAINT EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE ON THIS SITE (NOVEMBER 10, 2006 ODI ID NUMBER : 10173313).

GMC SIERRA 2500 HD 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 30, 2010.GMC SIERRA 2500 HD 2001, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE . THE ENGINE DIED ON ME IN A PARKING LOT AND WOULDN'T RESTART FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES. THE SECOND INCIDENCE WAS THE SAME. THE THIRD INCIDENT, IT STOPPED ON ME AS I WAS COMING OFF AN EXIT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD JUST REACHED 50 MPH WHEN IT CUT OUT. IT WOULD NOT RESTART FOR 15-20 MINUTES. THE NEXT AND FINAL EVENT BEFORE REACHING A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM...THE TRUCK CUT OUT AS I WAS ON AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND BUSY SECTION OF HIGHWAY DOING 60 MPH. I THANK GOD IT WAS A STRAIGHT STRETCH OR SOMETHING FATAL COULD HAVE OCCURED. IN BETWEEN EACH OF THESE EVENTS, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE MECHANIC AND TRIED DIFFERENT OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER REPAIRS THAT I WAS TOLD WASN'T A PROBLEM BUT I HAD NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED. THERE WERE NO CODES THROWN FOR THE MECHANIC TO GO BY. AFTER THE LAST EVENT ON THE HIGHWAY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT EXCEPT THE TRUCK BACK UNTIL THEY KNEW WHAT IT WAS. AFTER MUCH ARGUING, THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR UPON MY REQUEST. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THROWING A CODE FOR THAT AND THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T BREAK OFF DURING REPAIR AND RESULT IN AN EVEN COSTLIER REPAIR. I DIDN'T CARE AT THAT POINT AND TOLD THEM TO DO IT. I HAD READ MANY OTHER REPORTS ON MECHANIC SITES ABOUT THIS SENSOR BEING RECALLED ON SOME BUT NOT ALL GMC 2500 HD TRUCKS SO I INSISTED THE DEALER REPLACE MINE. MINE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALLED VIN# SO IT WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR ME! IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE AND IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS NOW. I AM STILL UPSET AT THE LACK OF AGREEMENT ABOUT EXTENDING THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE TO OTHER VIN#'S. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN NOT ONLY ME KILLED, BUT MY 2 YOUNG SONS WHO RIDE WITH ME EVERYWHERE. I AM VERY ANGRY AT THE MAKERS! NOTHING WILL FIX THAT.
