    At 75mph on toll road at night, suddenly the lights (all external & internal) went dark. Hazard light would not work, engine quit, bell went off (door-key in ignition bell), rpm surged. Was able to get off road and waited 10 minutes and truck started. Drove off, got to 60 and same thing happened. Waited 30 minutes and truck was ok except when brakes applied -door/key bell went off. Dealer had truck for three days…

    Took truck in for vehicle inspection. Truck failed inspection due to leaking steering gear. The dealer said i would have to replace the steering gear $800 and then the truck would pass inspection . This truck has 14000 miles on it . A search online reported a recall because of the tie rod going into the steering box was not tight enough causing damage to gear box . Dealer was suppose to fix at no charge this problem.

Not able to grease ball joints. Something draggy or low pump pressure, etc. This truck is tiring to drive and not safe.

    Vehicle was struck by a motorcycle traveling around 50mph in the drivers side front tire. This is a [redacted] vehicle. The motorcycle was only a 50cc model small motorcycle. This resulted in the spindle breaking in two at the point just behind where the tie rod end connects resulting in a loss of steering on that wheel. Luckily the silverado was only traveling approximately 25 mph at the time of the accident and…
