NHTSA Complaint #10396540 — 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LURCHED AND TWO WARNINGS CAME ON THE DASH; SERVICE STABILITRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. THE TRUCK ALSO OPERATED UNDER REDUCED POWER AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCELERATOR. GOING UP HILLS WAS AN ADVENTURE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANYTIME ANYWHERE. DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE, AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM STABILITRAC. BROUGHT TRUCK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THEY HAD SEEN WITH THIS CONDITION. TRUCK HAD 37,400 MILES. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE CONTROL BODY FOR FREE UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. TRUCK CURRENTLY RUNS FINE, BUT THE TRUCK DOES NOT IDLE AS WELL AS IT USED TO, SLIGHT VIBRATION AND STUTTER, DEALER SAID GM SAID THIS IS COMMON AND NOT A PROBLEM, IT IS SET ELECTRONICALLY AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. DO WE REALLY NEED ALL THIS ELECTRONIC CRAP? *TR
