Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had this vehicle for two years now and love the power and smooth ride i get from it. the truck is a 1996 chevy k2500 with a 6.5l diesel engine. i have put over $3,600 in this vehicle in the last 18 mos. the engine shuts down and you cannot stop or steer the vehicle then. the mechanics say that this happens in a lot of vehicles withmost owners end up selling it. if this is such a common problem then why doesn't chevrolet do something about it.this could be a potentially dangerous situation since this truck is so hard to handle when it stalls.
