NHTSA Complaint #11574050 — 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

The component unknown, I do not know what caused this to happen. The charging system suddenly drops and power to the truck is shutting off or losing power. The electric doors and dash lights, plus trailer frailer all occur and locks going up and down. Today on a major highway in Kansas City, All dash lights and indicators came on and then the truck started to stop in major traffic. I had to put the transmission in neutral and out of gear and try to keep from losing control of the truck as the were trying to lock up. I quickly shut of the ignition and then turned it back on. I put on a new alternator thinking that would fix the problem. Well 200 dollars later and two days later is when this major problem cause me almost to be in a serious accident. I usually get my service done at Cable Dahmer Chevrolet in Independence MO. I am beside myself, as I know of another owner that has the same year and his is now doing the same thing. Is this a serious problem that may have been going on in other similar vehicles, I would say so. Since I did not panic and made the truck keep going and stop it from locking up, what would be the safety factor of someone, who could not know what to do? No warning lights or nothing lit up just cruising along. No accident and have not had it access yet. I have yet to contact the Chevy dealer and yes it was a high risk concern. No one was hurt or injured, but could have been. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
