general problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The tcm failed in rush hour traffic! in minneapolis minnesota, the stability control light came on, traction control light came on, no throttle, no power. We backed up traffic, got push to the side of the road, towed to the service shop, and was told the transmission control module (tcm) failed. Then told they are on national backorder from gm. The truck has been down for 3 months with no answers or parts in sight.

For the past few years I keep getting code p2138. I have spent several thousand dollars trying to get my truck fixed. I have replaced the accelerator pedal at least 3 times. Replaced the throttle body. Did a complete rewire. Replaced the ecm and still the dealership can’t figure it out. Every time I leave I’m hopeful the problem is resolved but then a month or two later I will be driving and then my truck will lose engine power. Someone is going to get killed because of this if they haven’t already. Extremely frustrated.

I was driving my 2009 Chevrolet silverado one morning on my way to school(luckily I wasn't to far from home when the incident occurred) when the vehicle lost power and the dash showed the check engine light, service stabletrak, and service traction control. When the incident occurred I was in the middle of the road when my vehicle began to decelerate and eventually was not able to go past 45 mph. I pulled over and my vehicle and parked, shut off the engine, and then started it back up only to show the same icons on the dash. After turning around and slowly returning to my house I shut the vehicle off and had to take my wife's car to work. Under other circumstances this could have gone extremely bad and an accident may have occurred. This seems to be a common trend on the internet and forums and needs to be addressed by gm!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph the vehicle suddenly started bucking as the stability light and check engine light started to illuminate. The vehicle was pulled into a parking space turned the engine off and on and the engine started to idle at a high speed. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer who ran a diagnostic test as the codes showed that the throttle position sensor failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 44,475. Mw.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that she would have to apply excessive pressure to the brake pedal in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. Once the vehicle was stopped, the rpms would race excessively and then the vehicle would begin to perform normally. The dealer diagnosed that there was a maintenance issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 18,000 and the current mileage was 18,050.

I was at 60 to 65 mph on an interstate and the truck powered the motor down. The electronic stability control module light came on and the service engine light. I was able to get off at the last safe exit for quite a way. Onstar recommended not driving it to the dealer. The dealer did the diagnostic and at 28000 miles told me it was the throttle body assembly. It took 5 days to get a "new" one. ( aprox 1/26/11) on aprox 12/15/11 an almost identical thing happened, mileage 50000. Out of warranty I took it to a local shop. Their computer test concluded a throttle body assembly malfunction. $450. 00 to repair. Call the dealer " no that is under warranty" dealer concluded that it "just needed cleaned". Prior to service (I rely on this truck for work, I can not get a ride, I can not ride a bus) I was able to "reset " the stabilitrack ( the button would not turn it off) by pulling 4 fuses under the hood fuse block. But boy when it had enough the truck would power the motor down and within 15 seconds the truck would die right where it was. 5 mph, or 15 mph no power nothing, brakes ,steering gone. ## VIN passed ## Chevrolet k1500 2009 ##.
