2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Electrical System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AFTER THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR INTAKE HOSE NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE RESET. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

ON THE WAY TO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING, SEPT 1ST, 2014 AS MY HUSBAND APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT HE NOTICED THE VEHICLE AT THE LIGHT BACKUP LIGHTS COME ON. HE THOUGHT THEY MAY HAVE PULLED TOO FAR UP UNDER THE STOP LIGHT AND WERE JUST GOING TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT SO HE APPLIED HIS BRAKES. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO PUSH THE GAS AND SLAM IN TO THE FRONT OF MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK THEN DRIVE OFF. MY HUSBAND PROCEEDED TO THE NEARBY PILOT FUEL STOP LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS THERE THEN CALLED THE POLICE TO FILE A REPORT. AFTER THAT HE WENT ON TO WORK A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WORKED HIS SHIFT, STOPPED AND PUT A LITTLE GAS IN HIS TRUCK AND DROVE THE 9 MILES HOME. PARKED IN THE DRIVE WENT IN THE HOUSE AND CAME BACK...

I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO STEERING AND BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. PEDDLE HAD TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. GOT VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND TURNED OFF. ONCE RESTARTING STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT BUT FUNCTIONAL. SIMILAR INCIDENT IN 2013 RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. SEVERAL MORE STEERING ISSUES SINCE DECEMBER OF 2013. HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN FIXED. *TR
