problem #3

Silverado 1500

  • 1,800 miles
When driving vehicle (ours does not have the stop start technology); however when idling low or coming to a stop the vehicle will jerk then die. The motor will completely shut off; stalling, the only way to restart is to put the vehicle in neutral or park and turn ignition again. The motor shuts off entirely user is unable to drive; presents a huge safety issue. Pushing gas petal does not work even if it did have the stop start technology.

Silverado 1500

  • 2,500 miles
On a very rainy day I was driving around the block I went through several small puddles from run off so no more than two-three inches of water. With a lot of rain and splashing from other vehicles. My truck sputters and dies, no deep water, no off-roading. I was told today that the truck is waterlocked and it isnt covered under warranty. I am astounded as this was regular driving, here is my factory lifted up truck with tons of clearance broke down in the middle of the street and little cars passing me by driving the same road I did. This is obviously a design flaw or something as I don't understand if this truck is so fragile how could I ever take it to a boat ramp. I bought a truck to use as a truck.

Silverado 1500

  • 150 miles
I was driving down the road, gave it gas to go around a vehicle and it felt like the vehicle shut down. ESC caution, check engine light, and brake warning/caution all illuminated. Vehicle began to slow down drastically and if I hadn't gotten off the road quickly I would have been hit. If I had been turning into traffic from a stop and that happened I would have been hit. Pulled the vehicle over, turned it completely off, removed the key, restarted the vehicle and everything went away except the check engine light. Headed to the dealership and again I gave it some gas and it did it again. Pulled over, turned off/on and same results, everything cleared but check engine light. If this were to happen on the interstate this could cause a major incident. I was on a city street on both occasions. I had to nurse the gas pedal returning to the dealership which was about 7 miles from the initial incident. The vehicle is a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 2.7L turbo engine.
