2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Electrical System Problems

There is a recall number 09184C that only pertains to certain states but I live in a wet state also not listed and the carpet under my seat held moisture and now my airbag control module totally disintegrated from being in moisture for so long, they won't accept my truck in for inspection or repair

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact stated that the following day, while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. Additionally, there was an abnormal ticking sound coming from the vehicle. The contact used a diagnostic machine and retrieved several codes indicating electrical failures. The vehicle was towed to another independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact stated that the engine had been replaced twice. The contact stated the last engine was replaced in 2021. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

T ruck left my wife totally stranded in the middle of a busy intersection. It was running but would not accelerate. I ran the codes and 2 codes that has never popped up before was P1682 and P2138. One said it could be the ignition and the other said it could be accelerator position sensor on gas peddle. My mechanic said this is a communication problem where the wires go into the ECM. Bad connection or moisture getting in. I have had a few wonky codes pop up that we believe to be bad connections. GM NEEDS TO GET THIS RECALLED AND RESOLVED. Trucks just stopping in the middle of the highway and in traffic is super dangerous. After i pushed on connection going into ecm, it started and I have not been able to duplicate code. We will see once it rains if it comes back. Way too many...

Vehicle abruptly malfunctioned (lose of power) while sitting at the traffic light during a heavy storm. Fortunately, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it, which gave me enough engine power to get a a safe place. I had the vehicle towed to Love Chevrolet, Columbia, SC. Dealership stated the entire wiring harness needed to be replaced. The replacement cost would be $3500. They also stated the wiring harness for this vehicle has been discontinued and I have to take the vehicle to an electrical shop to be fixed.

On multiple occasions, while driving, my truck suddenly locked/unlocked/locked/unlocked doors, airflow changed from a/c to heat, Stabiltrak disengaged, Parking assist shut off, Traction Control turned off, lights shut off, engine stalled, and was unresponsive.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the check engine, the stabilitrak, the service trailer brake system, and the seat belt warning lights were illuminated before the vehicle began to decelerate. The contact stated that the vehicle turned off and back on independently. The contact stated he continued to experience the failure and parked on the side of the road for 30 minutes before restarting the vehicle and continued driving to his destination. The contact stated he had experienced the failure on 3 different occasions. The contact took the vehicle to two different independent mechanics and the second location informed him that the chassis electronic control module needed to be replaced. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with Manufacturer Communication Number:...

Yes the warning light came on before the air bag was replaced, If the waring light comes it indicates that the airbag is faulty, why is it going to cost me $791 to repair the sensor. Is this not a problem that should be resolved, as the airbag wont work if the sensor is not fixed. The air bag was replace At George Nahas on January 8th. At the time we were not told that the airbag would not work because the light was on. It was much later that a friend (mechanic) told me that the bag would not work if the light was on. Thus we contact Feldman and were told that the cost would be $791. Why replace the bag is it not going to work

HELLO, I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FOUND THE CODE IS FOR "LOW FLOW, CHECK FUEL CONTROL MODULE, FUEL PUMP". I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN NO.: 14515B DATE: JANUARY 2015 SUBJECT: CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION. IT IS MODEL YEAR TRUCK AND THE EXACT PART NUMBER OF THE CONTROL MODULE BUT THE LOCAL DEALER ADVISED GM DOES NOT LIST MY VIN AS BEING INVOLVED, EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS LISTED IN THE MODEL YEAR BULLETIN AND IT IS THE EXACT PART NUMBER FOR ALL VEHICLES!! MY TRUCK COULD STOP AT ANY TIME AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CAN;T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF IT STALLING AND EVEN GM ADVISED IT COULD STALL IN TRAFIIC AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

"TAKATA RECALL". I SPOKE TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP PERSON (ALL STAR CHEVROLET NORTH, 9352 PLANK ROAD, BATON ROUGE, LA) ABOUT REPLACING MY TRUCK PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FIRST CONTACTED THEM ON NOVEMBER 7, 2017 AND WAS TOLD THE DEVICE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN ON MAY 10, 2018 AND SPOKE WITH AMANDA. AMANDA SAID SHE WOULD CHECK WITH HER MANAGER TO DETERMINE IF THE PART WAS AVAILABLE TO SCHEDULE THE FIX BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. I DECIDED TO CALL CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER (1-800-222-1020) AND I SPOKE WITH JANE. JANE EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT YOUR WEB SITE AND CHEVROLET WEB SITE (HTTP://MY.GM.COM/RECALLS) STATE THAT MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE 'TAKATA RECALL'. JANE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT CHEVROLET HIRING A THIRD PARTY ENGINEERING FIRM THAT DETERMINED THAT VEHICLES LIKE MINE WAS NOT AFFECTED. I ASKED FOR THIS IN AN EMAIL...

THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH THE AIR BAG, BUT THE FRONT SWITCH THAT ACTIVATES THE AIR BAGS UPON IMPACT. WHEN ONE OR BOTH FAIL THE TEST WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION ON, IT POSTS A MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THERE IS LOTS OF INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ON UTUBE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I AM AN ELECTRICIAN AND AN ELECTRONICS TECH, I KNOW THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT ACTIVATE IF THE CRASH IS ON THE SIDE WITH A BAD AIR BAG. I HAD 2 BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES GO OUT, AT WHICH TIME THE PERSON BEHIND ME,WOULD HAVE NO IDEA, I WAS BRAKING. THE SWITCH IS A 2 PART SWITCH, ONE PART CONTROLS THE BRAKE LIGHT, THE OTHER ENABLES OR DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM.

2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN INTERMITTENTLY, DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION, KEY FOB ISSUES AND OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. *SMD *TR

TRIED TO OPEN PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW FROM MASTER MODULE(SWITCH) ON DRIVER SIDE, NOTICE A BURNT ODOR. ON FARTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MODULE HAD SHORTED OUT WITH BURNT AND/OR MELTED WIRES AT THE CONNECTOR. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD! I WAS PARKED AT A POST OFFICE

RAPID TEMPORARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, DOORLOCKS CYCLING REPEATEDLY, GUAGES MALFUNCTIONING, RADIO SHUTS OFF AND TURNS BACK ON WITH NO PRESET STATIONS AND SHOWING 12:00 ON THE CLOCK ,CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES. ONCE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF, NO GUAGES NOR LIGHTS WORK...AS IF THERE WASN'T ANY BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WON'T START UNTIL DOME LIGHT IS RESTORED ON VIA JUMPSTARTING. CLEANING BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND NUMEROUS GROUND WIRE CONNECTIONS GIVES SHORT-LIVED RELIEF FROM SYMTOMS BUT PROBLEMS ULTIMATELY RETURN. CHEVY DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS SHOWS THAT GROUND WIRES HAVE HIGH RESISTANCE. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR TO EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" LAST YEAR AND HAS RETURNED YET AGAIN.

TAKATA AIRBAG DEFECT... DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS KEY IN IGNITION

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAKING TURN VEG STEERING MAKES LOUD SOUND AND STEERING WHEEL MAKES VIBRATING SOUND AND LOCKS TEMPORARILY. A CODE TURNED ON THAT READS STABILIZER TRACKABILITY IT STAYED ON FROM THAT TIME UNTIL NOW.

DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK- UNLOCK NO LONGER WORKS. STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION THOUGH LOCKING MECHANISM POPS UP AND DOWN.

EXPERIENCING SPORADIC ISSUES WITH MY TRUCKS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED), I WILL HEAR A LOUD "POP" (SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE A DESKTOP COMPUTER LOSING POWER) AND THEN MY DASHBOARD/MONITOR SCREEN WILL GO DARK AND AFTER A SPLIT SECOND EVERYTHING COME BACK ON. THE DASHBOARD WILL FLASH ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS. ABOUT EVERY THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENS, IF I PARK THE CAR AND TRY TO RESTART IT IT WON'T TURN OVER. IN THESE INSTANCES, I CAN HEAR CURRENT CYCLING THROUGH MY POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH ALONG WITH AN ELECTRIC CLICKING NOISE THAT WON'T STOP. IF I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR 15 MINUTES OR SO, I CAN GET THE TRUCK TO RESTART. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE I COULD NEVER GET IT TO TURN OVER. THIS PROBLEM FIRST...

I WAS ON HIGHWAY 84 PASSING ANOTHER CAR AT SPEED 75 MPH THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED CAME ON AND OFF, THE SAFETY BELT LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ENGINE STARTED TO SLOW AND SPEED UP, THE CLOCK WENT FROM 4:00 PM TO 12:00 PM, THE DATE WENT TO 01/01/2004, THE A/C STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR. I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER AND TURNED IT OFF, EVERYTHING STOPPED ONLY THE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON. I CALLED ONSTAR TO CHECK WHAT'S WRONG, THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD, CHECK THE TIRES, IF THE TIRES ARE GOOD, YOU ARE GOOD TO DRIVE. ALL TIRES WERE 33PSI. I RESET ALL THE ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS AND WENT HOME. I WAS IN DANGER FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES IN THE LEFT LANE PASSING ANOTHER CAR.

I HAVE A SHORT IN MY FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. IT CAUSES MY CAR TO STALL WHILE WHILE IN OPERATION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START, ETC. THIS ISSUE HAS HAUNTED ME FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN FROM GM; #14515B. THIS IS THE EXACT PART # AND ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING BUT MY VIN # ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY VIN WAS MISSED?

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES. STARTED OUT SMALL AND ARE GETTING LARGER AS TIME GOES ON. MY POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS HAVE NOT WORKED ON THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012

INSTRUMENT PANEL RANDOMLY GOES CRAZY AS WELL AS POWER LOCKS AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES WILL NOT CRANK UP TAKES A FEW TIMES TURNING THE KEY

DOOR LOCKS STICK WHEN HOT OUTSIDE AND BREAK LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF.. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER BY POLICE AND GIVEN A WARNING TO GET LIGHTS FIXED.. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THEY THINK IT COULD BE THE WIRING HARNESS OR DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT.. BUT IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE DIE OUT WAS FOUND TO BE AN INTERNAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE.

CHIMES--ANY WARNING CHIMES-- CAN NOT BE HEARD AT ALL,SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK,NO WARNING CHIMES CAN BE HEARD AT ALL.KEYS LEFT IN THE IGNITION,TURN SIGNALS ON ,LIGHTS LEFT ON,SEAT BELT WARNING,DOOR OPEN,NOTHING--THEN,DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER,HOT AND DRY,THEY MAY WORK,THE RADIO MAY PLAY,WINTER TIME--NOTHING---SUMMER TIME,SPORADIC BUT FOR THE MOST PART--NOTHING. .TWO YEARS NOW.DON'T MATTER IF GOING OR SITTING STILL,ANY WHERE,JUST NOTHING.

FRONT IMPACT SENSOR FOR AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILED DUE TO POOR PLACEMENT, INFERIOR PRODUCT AND LACK OF INITIAL QUALITY INSTALLATION.CORRODED INTERNALLY.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED DOOR LOCKS WILL ACTUATE BACK AND FORTH WITH ALL DASH LIGHTS FLASHING. EVENTUALLY CAR LOSES ALL POWER, ENGINE DIES, AND HAVE TO PULP TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR PROPULSION. I WAS PERSONALLY ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AT APPROX 60 MPH. FURTHERMORE, IT IS KNOW THAT ALL DOOR PANELS IN THIS VEHICLE RETAIN MOISTURE. THIS HAS KILLED ALL SPEAKERS AND I GUESS IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE AFORE MENTIONED PROBLEM.

WITH TRUCK STATIONARY, I HAVE INSPECTED AND OBSERVED THE FOLLOWING. DASH HAS CRACKED THROUGH MULTIPLE LOCATIONS TO INCLUDE AREAS FOR STORED AIRBAGS. RATTLING SOUND IS COMING FROM INSECURE DASH. RADIO AND SPEAKERS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY AND OTHER TIMES WITH STATIC. REPLACED SPEAKERS IN DOORS AND THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. DRIVERS SEAT BELT DID NOT CONNECT TO RECEIVER END. REPLACED PART ORDERED FROM GM PARTS WEBSITE. A CONSTANT WATER LEAK COMES FROM UNDERNEATH DASH ALONG FIREWALL INTO DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARDS. WATER SOAKED CARPET AND INSULATION HAS WICKED TO REAR FLOOR AREAS. NO ONE HAS FOUND THE WATER SOURCE, BUT IT HAS RUSTED DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL SCREWS AND RUINED CARPET. WATER APPEARS TO BE WORSE WHEN USING HVACC OR DEFROSTER. REPLACED FUEL VENT VALVE SOLENOID UNDERNEATH TRUCK, NEAR REFUEL CAP/DOOR, THREE TIMES DUE TO CHECK ENG LIGHT.

AFTER HAVING DRIVEN VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE FOR AN APPOINTMENT, TRUCK WOULD NOT START AN HOUR LATER; HOWEVER, LIGHTS CAME ON DASH. I WAITED 10 SECONDS AND TRIED IT AGAIN, AND IT STARTED NO PROBLEM. THEN NO PROBLEM STARTING THE NEXT TIME BUT DRIVING AROUND TOWN THE RADIO START SHUTTING OFF FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS BEFORE COMING BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, THEN AS I AM DRIVING, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTS GOING HAYWIRE, LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASH WITH WARNING LIGHTS & MESSAGES GOING OFF ON DASH, THEN EVERYTHING BUT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF (DASH LIGHTS, GAUGES, RADIO AND A/C), AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY DRIVE TO MY MECHANIC WHO HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK AND SAID IT WAS MY IGNITION SWITCH. HE SAID HE COULD NOT GET ME IN THAT DAY AND ASKED ME TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT...

THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE ON THIS YEAR MODEL TRUCK. I HAD THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK REPLACED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND AT THAT TIME THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FAILURE. AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THE OTHER THREE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE NOT FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS ENTERING I-75 INTERSTATE RAMP AND MOVING ALONG WITH TRAFFIC AND ABOUT 70 MPH, THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN ON THERE OWN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDLES STARTED SPORADICALLY GOING UP AND DOWN THEN THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHIME SOUND, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRUCK LOST A LITTLE BIT OF POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I DID SMELL A BURNT WIRE ODOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK RAN REALLY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE NUMBER 8 CYLINDER HAD OIL LEAKING INTO IT WHICH I SEE NO SIGNS OF BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR...
