While using a spare key to my 2015 silverado for the entire day, and driving over 70 miles, the "anti-theft" warning light suddenly came on.

Corrosion failure occurred at 28 months of ownership of the new vehicle. Socket did not have any type of corrosion preventing dielectric grease present as i have typically seen in tail light connections.unfortunately, since the vehicle was at 40,000 miles it was…

All audio stops working. The radio is on and the digital info is changing with the station. But there is no audio.. All the warning sounds and the directional sound are not present. A few times i was able to shut the truck off and restart it and that would fix the issue.. But now that doesn't even work. I do notice that it happens more often when the weather is very cold..

So due to known issues with the yolk on the differential, the lag in the transmission shift and engine communication leads to extreme vibration at highway speeds and clunking and jerking while driving around town. So when the transmission shifts there is a delay in the motor recognizing it so it revs up some so when the transmission finally finds the gear it causes it to kick. And since the yolk has play in it, it…
