2011 Chevrolet Silverado

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE SILVERADO'S, ENGINE, POWER STEER AND POWER BRAKES SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE TRUCK RESTARTED NORMALLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM OR CODE. THE SAME EVENT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER WHILE I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH. THE I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I THEN PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ABOUT 10 MILES INTO THE TRIP WHEN THE TRUCK LOST SPEED, THE ABS BRAKES DID A SLIGHT ON AND OFF PULSATING EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND GIVING IT GAS THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 35 OR 40 MPH AND WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER. THE DASH INDICATOR SHOWED MESSAGES STATING STABILITRAK TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. IT JOLTED REAL HARD WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. WHEN I MASHED THE BRAKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKES TO HOLD THE TRUCK THERE. I PULLED INTO A STORE POPPED THE HOOD AND FINDING NOTHING I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT BUT NOTHING CHANGED AND THE ERROR MESSAGES WERE STILL BEING DISPLAYED. THE TRUCKS ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. I HEADED HOME AND IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER AND JOLTED HARD AS IT SHIFTED GEARS. I COUDLN'T GO BUT 35 OR 40 MPH ON THE LEVEL GROUND. IF I WENT UP A SLIGHT HILL THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN MORE UNTIL I GOT PAST THE HILL. I GAVE IT GAS AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP BUT HAD NO POWER AND WOULDN'T GO 35 OR 40 MPH. I PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE GARAGE AND IN 10 MINUTES I WENT TO START IT TO GET THE ERROR MESSAGES AND IT STARTED UP FINE AND THE ENGINE WASN'T RUNNING ROUGH. I DROVE IT 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND BACK AND IT RAN PERFECT. I GOOGLED THE ERROR MESSAGES AND FOUND ALOT OF COMPLAINTS AND COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE CHEVROLET FORUM WEBSITE. NO RECALL INFORMATION JUST ALOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND ALOT WORSE CASES THAT ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? I READ THAT I WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE ISSUE AGAIN BECAUSE AFTER IT SITS FOR 10 MIN IT PROBABLY WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW MINUTES OR DAYS LATER. I CAN ONLY HOPE DOESN'T CAUSE ME TO HAVE A WRECK AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO PASSING GEAR SUCH AS ENTERING A HIGHWAY ON RAMP AND STEPPING DOWN TO ENTER SLOWER TRAFFIC ENGINE REVS TO RED LINE ON TACH BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR LEAVING YOU HUNG OUT TO DRY IN TRAFFIC UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOIN ON YOU HAVE FULLY LET UP FOR IT TO FIND A GEAR BY THIS TIME YOUR SPEED CAME DROP 10 MPH VERY DANGEROUS , HAD TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TWICE BOTH SAID IT HAS NO PROBLEM ONE SAID IT WAS THE TORQUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND IT WAS NORMAL.BUT IF I WANTED IT TO GO AWAY TAKE IT SOME WHERE AND HAVE THE PROGRAM WIPED FROM COMPUTER BUT WARRANTY WILL THEN BE VOID.ALSO TRUCK SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO GO AROUND A CORNER.WHEN STARTING VEHICLE IT JUMPS FORWARD SO BAD I AM AFRAID TO KEEP IT IN MY GARAGE. SPOKE TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY REPS BOTH ARE LIKE TALKING TO A WALL ,THEY ARE NOT EMPLOYED TO HELP YOU JUST TO RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES UNTIL YOU GIVE UP.RESEARCH ALL CHEVY PRODUCTS BEFORE BUYING. SILVERADOS HAVE ALOT OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. JUST A HORRIBLE TRUCK. *TR

EVERYTIME I GO TO THE PUMP IT KICKS OUT LIKE THE TANK IS FULL. IF YOU HOLD THE NOZZLE AS ITS BARELY COMING OUT IT WILL WORK NORMAL BUT YOU CANT EVEN USE THE LOWEST NOTCH ON THE PUMP TO SET IT ON TO PUMP GAS, IT WONT WORK. SO IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I'VE TOLD THE CHEVY DEALER ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND NO RECALL. IM TRYING TO MAKE IT A RECALL NOW SO IT WILL BE FIXED. *TR
