While driving on i 81 the truck went into reduced power mode and violently went from 70 miles per hour to 10 miles per hour. This mode is very dangerous! Forty percent of the traffic on i 81 is tractor trailer. I'm scared to drive this vehicle. The mechanic tells me this is very expensive to repair as there are many things that an cause this condition to occur!!

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…

I have seen youtube video's/forums online about the 2009 model year silverado's instrument gauge cluster failing while driving, as well as my own. Very unsafe and scary. Happens on startup, driving, and parked. Never know when it will do it. *tr

The truck was sitting parked in the driveway and my neighbor noticed that the lights and wipers came on (truck was not on, no keys were in it, nobody was in it or near it!). Smoke then began to billow out from under the hood and a fire started. My neighbor was able to disconnect the battery and put out the fire. I had the truck towed to a garage where they told me that the fuse panel caught on fire. They called gm…

While traveling 70 mph on the interstate everything goes crazy at once: doors lock and unlock, engine cuts and goes back on, stabilitrak light comes on and goes off, transmission kicks out of gear and then downshifts sending the engine to over 5,000 rpm, radio goes off and on off and on. This event lasts for about 5 to 7 seconds then everything goes back to normal. The problem has occurred intermittently and may not…

The vehicle first started having electrical troubles when we were traveling down the interstate. The door locks were cycling rapidly, the gauges were bouncing all over the dials, we lost power, the lights on the dash were flashing, and the transmission stopped working, and we were coasting - on an interstate. We pulled over and shut it off for a few moments, started it up and took off again, with no trouble. Got…

I have had this problem occasionally since i bought the truck new, but recently it started to do the same thing on a regular basis.

Today, i pressed the brakes while driving it and heard a click when i did so, so i pulled over and checked and found that if i…

While driving the stabilitrak light came on and then the abs light. It stayed on, so i took it to a mechanic who determined it was the brake switch and he replaced it. It has been fine until recently, when it came on again and my brake lights were sticking on, so i replaced the brake switch again. So, far it's stayed off. My concern is that my truck my start having the same issues as our other gm vehicle, which also…

I was at 60 to 65 mph on an interstate and the truck powered the motor down. The electronic stability control module light came on and the service engine light. I was able to get off at the last safe exit for quite a way. Onstar recommended not driving it to the dealer. The dealer did the diagnostic and at 28000 miles told me it was the throttle body assembly. It took 5 days to get a "new" one.( aprox 1/26/11) on…
