Truck began to idle rough and would jerk during taking off and stopping. Check engine light began flashing and stabilitrak light came on. Took it to a mechanic who reported fuel buildup. I was told that the pistons were broken as well. My truck has 88,000 miles on it and GM refuses to fix it even though there are service bulletins pertaining to the engine misfire from fuel buildup because the truck is greater than 5 years old.

While driving home, a stabilitrak warning appeared on the dash and my ac/radio began to stop but ramped back up after the dismissal. Once I got to my street, I made a left and the truck completed turned off. My steering wheel locked up, the wheel locked up, and there was no power to the vehicle. After about 3 minutes, the vehicle lights turned on and I was able to get to my driveway. I cannot imagine what would have happened if I was on the freeway. There's many other people on the web that have had the same issue with this truck.

Our truck will shut off while driving down the road. The radio and air will turnoff first then the truck will shut right off. It is scary when you are towing and going right along on the highway when it turns off. Someone it's going to get killed before anything it's done. We had the recall done but it did not resolve the problem. The company does not care because I have complain about this problem before and nothing was done. Drivers beware and stay safe!

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 81,000 miles
Warning lights came on for steering assist while driving down the highway. At this time, the air conditioning and radio turned off, but the engine remained running. Dismissing the alert returned the A/C and radio, and the truck continued running. A few minutes later, an alert popped up for stabilitrack, the A/C turned off, and the engine shut off, all while moving. I lost my brakes, was still able to steer, and had to use the emergency brake to come to a stop. This is extremely dangerous. There are people all over the internet talking about grounding issues related to this, and it's not uncommon. Why is there not a recall for this?

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 85,000 miles
While driving at a low rate of speed, my vehicle has completely shut off. After putting the truck in park and restarting, it drove fine. This has happened several times now. Once I pulled into our driveway and while waiting for the garage door to open, it shut off momentarily and then restarted on its own. Now it is shutting off and not restarting. The power steering is also gone when this happens. This is incredibly dangerous at intersections. We've called the dealership but they said they weren't aware of any issues. This started occurring around 85,000 miles.

(multiple hwy speed ranges' 50-75 mph) note'-date below is the latest of these repeated issues. The three events described have repeated occasionally recurred since ownership.

Oil cooling lines and transmission cooling lines developed leakage at the hose/metal interface closest to the radiator. This was noticed at around 70,900 miles. Both were replaced at 75,000 miles. Catastrophic failure of either one could have created major engine or transmission failure and an unsafe condition.
