When driving the truck will shutter and eventually stall. This happens when driving at all speeds, even when sitting idle. The dealer tells me there was an extended warranty on this part but i was not notified. I feel this is a safety concern and should be replaced regardless of milage.

I was directed by a few mechanics that chevrolet had changed the gauge of the wires and they have…

Entire vehicle shut off as if the key were turned off , this has happened many times- i lose power steering, all electrical, steering etc. Very frustrating bc chevy states that there is no recall for 2010 model silverado so i'm expected to pay out of pocket???
