general problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

We were driving and started running really rough and the check engine light came on. It said reduced engine power took it to a shop they said it was some wiring they replace the wiring about a month later I was parked at home started the truck and it was during this same thing angelite I just turned on running rough said low engine power I took it back to the place we had to work done they said a wire jiggled loose and they screwed it back in said I was good to go last week I was taking my truck to get it inspected was fine all the way to town parked it at the shop go in and tell them I need inspection they come out start the truck same scenario as before engine light was on low engine power running rough couldn't get it inspected they put the code device on it and it said throttle position sensor harness something like that.

Randomly my truck will go in engine power reduced and top speed is 35 mph. It happened a couple of time on the interstate. The code that pops up is p2135 and I looked it up on line. The internet is full of forms and videos about this problem. Everything on the internet points to the throttle position sensor. I've replaced it twice and replaced the throttle body twice and wiring twice. I put truck in the shop three times. Spent a good $1500 trying to fix the problem and it still pops up every couple of months.

When applying the brakes to stop at an intersection, the vehicle lurches for a few feet then just lets go until it comes to a complete stop several feet into the intersection. This also occurs every time the brakes are applied when trying to stop. The brakes seem to slow you down to 10 miles per hour then they let go. At this time we are forced to use this vehicle even though it is unsafe. We would like this problem fixed ASAP.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While attempting to stop at a red light with his foot on the brake pedal the vehicle accelerated which also caused him to proceed through the red light. He also stated that the abs light illuminated for a half hour after the failure occurred. The dealers diagnosis located the failure as the abs brake pump motor. The vehicle was repaired for $600. The failure and the current mileages were 19,000. Updated 03/04/10.
