The engine keep crashing down, the indicator say low engine pressure, check engine pressure, then the hole truck will shut down in the middle of producing. This happen three time already. Im on the highway driving 80mil and the truck will shut down, cant move the wheel, cant change lines, cant restart the truck or anything. This has almost coast me life three time. What kind of safety shut down is that. I think it is very unsafe and needs to change or fix. I spent over $2,500 on my truck thinking the problem is fix, but it keep recurring. The Chevy engineers guys just say that the prob cant be fix and my best bet is to get a new truck, or engine. I don't have money for that.

Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,352 miles
Loss of control due to an unknown jiggle/bounce, out of balance condition. Consumer felt dealership lacked technical abilities to diagnose problem. To date vehicle had 14 different new tires on the rear axle. Vehicle had been serviced 10 times. The tire pressure was adjusted, the front and rear suspension checked. Rear sway bar was unhooked. Tires were balanced. However problem still existed. There was also poor fuel mileage and an exhaust odor. Due to safety issues consumer is reluctant to drive vehicle.

While driving, brake pedal will go all the way to the floor when braking suddenly. Also while driving on highway, consumer slammed on brakes to avoid a collision and the rear brakes locked up and vehicle slid. Also the engine vibrates when the air condition is on, the dealer repositioned clamp, when it is rainy hard the drivers door leaks at the top weatherstrip, the exhaust vibrates when vehicle is in reverse, the passenger seat rattles.
