The contact owns 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated upon walking to the vehicle, the center high mount stop lamps illuminated independently.

2 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2014

The first incident was in January 2014 while traveling on the highway at 55 mph the door locks started to cycle rapidly, the gauges all went to zero, the airbag rediness light came on and a service stabilitrac message appeared. The next day the vehicle would not start, after moving the positive battery terminal cover to try and jump the battery all the lights came on and the vehicle started without needing to be jumped. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they checked everything and found nothing wrong. No codes were stored. They inspected the under hood fuse block and the battery pin tension, both were good. The vehicle has run fine with no problems until November 2014, now it has started doing the exact same thing as it was doing in January. I will be contacting my local Chevrolet dealer and the Chevrolet regional manager again. Also it seems very unusual that the dealer and the regional manager have never heard of this problem. The Chevrolet forums are full of people having the same issues, also there is a technical service bulletin addressing the problem.
