*APRIL 3, 2002  I TOOK A CO-WORKER TO LUNCH THAT AFTERNOON WHEN UPON RETURNING TO OUR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON ROUTE 17 IN ALLENDALE, WHICH IS A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST, INCLUDING CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE VEHICLE INTO THE COMPANY PARKING LOT BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *MAY 6, 2002  I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT EVENING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON BOOTON RD IN LINCOLN PARK, WITH IS A FOUR-LANE ROAD. ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST, INCLUDING CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE VEHICLE ONTO A SIDE RESIDENCE STREET BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. *MAY 9, 2002  I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THAT EVENING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO BOOTON RD IN WAYNE AND WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. PRIOR TO THE LIGHT CHANGE, THE ENGINE STALLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT I WAS BLOCKING AN INTERSECTION THAT WAS AN OUTLET FOR ROUTE 23, A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. AFTER 20 MINUTES, THE POLICE CAME AND BLOCKED OFF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. *MAY 11, 2002  I WAS ON MY WAY TO A CAR WASH IN WAYNE AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING. I HAD TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY SIXTY MILES FROM THE TIME THAT I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. I WAS NEXT IN LINE TO RECEIVE A CAR WASH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE WAS LOST, INCLUDING CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATION, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. *MAY 24 - I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON NJ TURNPIKE TO NEWARK AIRPORT. I STOPPED TO COLLECT THE TOLL ENTRY TICKET WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I PUSHED THE VECHICLE TO THE 'UNPROTECTED' CENTER MEDIAN, BETWEEN TWO LANES OF OPPOSING TRAFFIC.*AK

WHEN THE CAR HAD 4500 MILES, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH -- THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR OTHER PROBLEMS BEFOREHAND. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY - NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED THE KEY -- THEN, AFTER 45 MINUTES IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE WAS VERY NOISY AND POWER TO ACCELERATE WAS VERY POOR. THE DEALER FIXED THE NOISY ENGINE BY RECALIBRATING THE PCM BUT THEY SAID NO FAULT CODES WERE REGISTERED IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER SO THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR STALLED. I ADVISED THEM ABOUT NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN # 02V121000 FUEL:FUEL FILTER LINE WHERE THE SYMPTOMS WERE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO GM RECALL AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL FILTER FITTING. THE STALL OCCURED ON 5/14/02 AND I HAVE DRIVEN 600 MILES SINCE THEN WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CALLED THE GMC # LISTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE ON 5/24/02 AND THEY SAID NO RECALLS APPLIED TO MY CAR (WHICH WAS MFG'D IN 9/01) AND THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN # 02V121000. I'M CONCERNED THAT WHATEVER CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING WILL REOCCUR AND IT IS DANGEROUS TRYING TO PULL OVER ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ENGINE POWER OR POWER STEERING.*AK
