2010 Chevrolet Silverado

WINTER OF 2014, SILVERADO WOULD ENGAGE IT'S STABILITRACK CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT SLOWS THE SPEED AT WHICH THE TRUCK COULD GO IF IT SENSED THE ROADS MAY BE ICY. THE TRUCK WOULD MOVE BUT VERY SLOWLY AND IT FELT AS IF YOU HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. EVEN WHEN BRAKING IT SEEMED TO NOT WANT TO BRAKE. DANGEROUS IF IT FELT TO ENGAGE WHILE ON THE ROAD. WE REMOVED THE FUSE THAT WAS ASSOCIATED TO THE STABILITRACK AND FOR A MOMENT WORKED. THEN WHILE SEARCHING ON YOU TUBE, WE FOUND THAT A SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON OTHER TRUCKS. WE REPLACED THE SENSOR AND IT STOPPED IT. TRUCK HAS BEEN GOOD UNTIL THIS WINTER 2015-2016. NOW THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF THE TRUCK HAS TO BE AT LEAST 33 DEGREES OR HIGHER IN ORDER FOR IT TO START IN THE MORNINGS. OTHERWISE IT IS DEAD. I HAVE TO GET RIDES TO WORK, SINCE I WORK IN TOWN, I AM ABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE ME BACK HOME BETWEEN 9AM AND 10AM TO COME GET MY TRUCK, CAUSE BY THAT TIME IT USUALLY IS WARM ENOUGH FOR IT TO START. UNLESS THE WHOLE DAY IS GOING TO BE BELOW 32 DEGREES, WELL THEN I AM JUST [XXX] OUT OF LUCK! THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT I KNOW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. YOU TUBE SHOWS MANY VIDEOS WITH THESE TRUCKS AND HOW AFTER THEY DO ONE THING, IT WORKS,THEN THEY HAVE TO DO ANOTHER AND ANOTHER. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE ISSUES FOR FREE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I JUST CAN'T BE DISHING OUT MONEY WHENEVER THE TRUCK DECIDES IT WANTS TO NOT WORK, GM HAS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG, INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING ONE THING AND THEN ANOTHER TO GET OUR MONEY. WE ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR THE TRUCK MONTHLY, DON'T THINK GM IS HURTING FOR MONEY. GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOYAL CHEVROLET CONSUMER, MY THOUGHTS ARE CHANGING.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, MY 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 27,000 MILE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SLOWED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. DUE TO THE EXTREME REDUCTION IN SPEED WITH OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ENGAGED, A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER, TURN IN THE RIGHT LANE, AND ALMOST STRUCK A THIRD VEHICLE. THREE WARNING MESSAGES WERE GIVEN THAT INCLUDED, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND SERVICE STABILITRACK. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. WHILE IN THE PARKING, LOT I RESEARCHED THE ABOVE LISTED MESSAGES AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN LINKED TO THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM AND THE INTAKE. I THEN RESEARCHED IF ANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NOT A RECALL. I WAS ALSO SURPRISED THAT THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DUE WITH STABILITRACK. I THEN LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME AT 20 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR IT WOULD LUNG FORWARD VIOLENTLY. I LATER CALLED THE PITRE GMC, IN ALBUQUERQUE NM, AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. I ASKED HIM IF A RECALLED HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE VEHICLES IN REFERENCE TO THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW OF A RECALL BUT I COULD DRIVE IT DOWN TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY COULD CHECK THE CODES ON IT. I WAS SURPRISED BY HIS RESPONSE INSTRUCTING ME TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH THAT COULD RESULT IN SEVER INJURY OR DEATH. HOPEFULLY GM AND NHTSA WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE NUMEROUS DEATHS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS POTENTIALLY AS DANGEROUS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE THAT KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE. I AM A GENERATIONAL CHEVROLET CONSUMER, BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE.
