WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO, I HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES WHERE THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND I SUDDENLY LOST LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKES. WITHIN A 2-3 SECONDS THE CLUSTER AND RADIO WENT DEAD AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THE LOGS SHOWED 1 1/2 PAGES OF VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS ERRORS INCLUDING LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO STEERING, LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS TO BRAKES, ETC. AFTER 8 DAYS OF ANALYSIS, THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM AND THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE PI NUMBER FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO KNOWN RESOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE.

FIRST INCIDENT THE STABILITRACK SERVICE LIGHT FLASHED SO FAST I COULD BARELY READ IT.. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 20,2015 AND IT HAPPENED TWICE. THE STABILITRACK LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE DOOR LOCKS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED , LIGHTS WENT OFF AND ON , RADIO WENT OFF AND ON AND IT STALLED THE ENGINE ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE SHORTED OUT. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL. I APLLIED THE BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL IN THE TRUCK STARTING WITH THE WINDOWS. I INFORMED DEALERSHIP AND THAT THE STABILITRAK WAS GOING OFF SAYING THAT THE STEERING WAS FAILING. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO PRESENT AND NOW THE TRUCK IS SHUTTING ITSELF OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD LOSING ALL STEERING AND TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK AND WE ALMOST ROLLED INTO A PARKING STRUCTURE, I LOST ALL POWER AND STEERING TO TRUCK HAD NO CONTROL AT ALL. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES AND THIS AFTER I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT FIXED. DEALER MADE PROBLEM WORSE.

THIS WAS HAPPENING IN COOLER WEATHER. I HAVE A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION KEY WOULD STICK IN THE START POSITION AND THEN RETURN TO THE RUN POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY HALF A DOZEN TIMES. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OLDER MODELS, BUT APPARENTLY SOME NEWER ONES , SUCH AS MINE SHOULD BE INCLUDED. *TR

THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD THIS GO OFF ON ME OVER 100 TIMES IN 25,000 MILES AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES. THE LED ON THE DASH WILL FLASH AND THE SEAT WILL VIBRATE CAUSING YOU TO REACT THINKING YOU ARE GETTING READY TO HIT SOMETHING. THIS OCCURS IN 3 SITUATIONS: 1) APPROACHING AN UNDERPASS WHILE THE SUN IS SHINING INTO THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS DAILY FOR ME DURING MY COMMUTE. 2) IN A LANE ON THE HIGHWAY CLOSEST TO THE BARRIER WALL, IT THINKS YOU ARE GOING TO HIT IT HEAD ON I GUESS. 3) ON A 2 LANE SIDE ROAD WITH APPROACHING CARS ARE THE ARE PASSING BY ON YOUR DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT IF THIS IS DUE TO THE SUNSHINE OR HEAD LIGHTS. SO THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ALERT REACTION TO YOU EACH TIME,...

I DON'T LIKE THE AUTO LOCKS ON ALL THE DOORS. IF YOU DON'T PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK, AND IF THE KIDS PULL THE HANDLE BEFORE I PUT IN PARK, YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE THE TRUCK AND OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE TURNED OFF ALL THE LOCKS AND IT STILL DOES IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IS JUST THE WAY THEY ARE MADE NOW. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR WAS STILL IN GEAR, MY KIDS WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE TRUCK, BECAUSE EVEN HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTONS WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING, I CAN'T EVEN DROP THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL IN THE LINE BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK IN ORDER FOR THE DOORS TO UNLOCK AND THAT IS AFTER I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON TO GET THEM TO UNLOCK. THIS...
