general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Vehicle abruptly malfunctioned (lose of power) while sitting at the traffic light during a heavy storm. Fortunately, I turned the vehicle off and restarted it, which gave me enough engine power to get a a safe place. I had the vehicle towed to love Chevrolet, columbia, SC. Dealership stated the entire wiring harness needed to be replaced. The replacement cost would be $3500. They also stated the wiring harness for this vehicle has been discontinued and I have to take the vehicle to an electrical shop to be fixed.

The engine doesn't slow down imediatly after you release accelerator. . Also the electric system comes on and off in motion. . . Also sometimes speakers work and sometimes the don't . . . In motion or not. . I lost control of the truck and hit a tree going about 40 mph no airbags were deployed. . .

Dash board cracks everywhere! I been using sun reflector sinc a bought the truck but cracks still coming out cheap material!!!.
