Silverado 3500

  • 70,000 miles
Came to a stop at top of exit ramp truck continued to roll backwards brake light and ABS light came on, truck beeped three times coming up ramp, hit excellerator and truck engine did not respond. Hit emergency brake. Put truck in park and turn off ignition. Truck refused to start. Extremely dangerous stop to cut off as tractor trailer we're coming off interstate behind me full speed to truck stop (before this incident the truck had driven completely fine on a 60 mile drive all interstate except for maybe three miles. ). truck is still at the mechanic as they can not get truck started. Its been a week.

Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • 17,894 miles
I was traveling at 55 miles per hour on a 2 lane highway. Vehicle became unresponsive to steering and brakes were not working correctly. Peddle had to be pushed all the way to the floor. Got vehicle slowed down and turned off. Once restarting steering was very tight but functional. Similar incident in 2013 resulted in an accident. Several more steering issues since December of 2013. Has been taken in for service and nothing has ever been fixed.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the feature was built to function in the manner in which it did. The contact was advised to disable the feature manually. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.
