Nov 7, 2014 · 102,000 milesElectrical system VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING AT 65 MPH. DASHBOARD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY) IT FINALLY RE-STARTED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE ANOTHER TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME. I EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FINAL OUTCOME WAS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR GM VEHICLES. MY TRUCK IS A 6.5 LITER DIESEL. WHICH MAY BE THE REASON IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE…

Aug 26, 2006 · 105,000 milesFuel system, diesel I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1995 CHEVROLET CK2500 4 X 4 TRUCK WITH THE 6.5 LITER DIESEL ENGINE. DUE TO LIFT PUMP FAILURE, THE TRUCK DIES WITH NO WARNING. THE LIFT PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES (CURRENTLY AT REPAIR SHOP FOR THIS AGAIN). THE DEALER HAS REPLACED IT WITH A NEW LIFT PUMP SUPPOSEDLY EACH TIME, BUT I WAS NOT SHOWN OR GIVEN THE OLD LIFT PUMP. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR INVOLVED WITH THIS PART FAILURE/DESIGN. THE TRUCK HAS DIED 2 OUT OF 3 TIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE '95 CHEVY TRUCK IS USED TO PULL A HORSE TRAILER. I AM TO THE POINT I AM AFRAID TO PULL THE HORSE TRAILER LOADED WITH OUR HORSES WITH THIS CHEVY TRUCK. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE A TRAILER…
