NHTSA Complaint #10933965 — 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES AS I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION OFF, STABILTRAC OFF, THE AIRVENTS STOPPED BLOWING COOL AIR AND RELEASED HUMIDITY, BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY (HARD TO ACTUALLY BREAK), STEERING WHEEL/POWER STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OR GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMS THE VEHICLE JUST DECIDED TO SUDDENLY STALL WHILE IN MOTION. I WAS VERY LUCKY DUE TO SUDDEN HIGH RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING ANYONE HURT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE I GOT IN PARK AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, EVERYTHING WAS FINE SHOWING NO ISSUES BUT I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT CRANK OR TRY TO TURN OVER BUT ALL ELECTRONICS/LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING. I CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS, ALL WAS FINE AND THEN I WENT TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO START THE VEHICLE. TO MY SURPRISE, IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOT READING ANY OTHER MESSAGES. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE WORKING PROPERLY BUT I WAS TOO SCARED TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT HAVING AN IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST TRUSTED AUTO PLACE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO USE A SCANNER TO FIND THE TROUBLE CODES OF MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE WAS FOR A MALFUNCTION WITH THE INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE (CODE: P0601). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK AND ITS VERY SCARY TO FEEL AT RISK FOR A SUDDEN MALFUNCTION TO CAUSE A CRASH. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BULLETIN NO: 14515B, THAT HAD COVERED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ISSUES AND FOR MY VEHICLE'S YEAR/MODEL. MY VIN DIDN'T REGISTER FOR ANY RECALLS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER VEHICLES ARE GETTING QUALIFIED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING. *TR
