Silverado 1500

  • Automatic transmission
  • 101,000 miles

I own a Silverado 1500. Lately I have had problems with my vehicle stalling while driving. I'm not talking about driving through a neighborhood going 25 MPH, it's happening while I'm on the highway and interstate (60-75 MPH). I haven't figured out much of a pattern as to why it is happening. Radio flickers off then the rest of my electronics follow. Comes back on within seconds. The steering wheel locks up too. This is incredibly dangerous. There's also times when I am parking or putting my pick up in reverse and it just completely shuts off. I have to put my pick up in park then turn it back on. Very fitting that this is happening 1,000 miles after my extended warranty expires. I am seeing that I am far from alone on this problem. Will be going back to Ford.

Silverado 1500 LT Z71 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,200 miles

Entire instrument cluster went out while driving causing loss of needed information such as speed and other pertinent information. Dealer says there is a tsb that the entire truck has to be re-flashed including all modules in the vehicle because it does not recognize the instrument cluster. During this time, all safety systems flashed and appeared to be inactive. Air bag, traction control, ABS, trailer braking etc. This needs to be investigated to see if a recall must happen. If we got in an accident during this occurrence who knows if any of the safety systems on the vehicle were functioning.
