There has been various occasions where we are driving and the truck stops with no warning or reason, the first time was on I-95 highway in philadelphia mid traffic the truck turned off and would not restart for about 5minutes we weee stuck in the middle of the road blocking traffic, no check engine light or any warning light came on. The second time was just this week on the way to two different mechanics to get the computer read it turned off yet again in the middle of the road. Both mechanics said nothing can up on the scanner when connected and there were no check engine lights turned on.

I heard a vibration noise coming from my dashboard for of my instrument panel. Further investigation revealed that the dashboard was cracking from the forward end running aft toward the steering wheel. I research this problem on the internet and learned this may be a safety concern if the air bag is inflated. I heard the vibration while driving. When I stopped I noticed the cracking problem.

The Silverado dash melts and cracks. On their site there is a statement that the cracks can break loose and cause injuries but the recall was discontinued. The passenger seat leaks fuel and they refused to correct that. Vehicles are very noisy, we have to talk loud or turn the radio up to hear. I motion and stationary. Purchased new in 2012. These are known issues and the dealer and the company's headquarters stated they are known issues but there are not any recalls and would not replace or give any discount in fixing the defects. I have talked to the headquarters down to the local dealers and no resolution.
