**randomly at any given speed ** first the radio system will randomly turn off then moments later… stabilitrak off flashes followed by abs and traction control lights on dash then suddenly my Chevrolet silverado has a mind of its own ! the door locks will flicker uncontrollably , and the vehicle just suddenly has a loss of power while rpms and gauges are continuously moving while you are unable to even move the vehicle . . This is a ongoing problem since 2019 , that no one seems to have an answer too . . I’ve taken it to 3 different mechanics and still no answers … when it first started happening it was super random and would happen a few times a day but then not happen for months on end then all of the sudden now it is happening several days a week . . I’m currently scared to even drive it which is horrible considering the amount of money I’ve put into this truck . . It has only 100k miles but somehow I am stuck using my dads old truck with 330k miles on it which seems to be more reliable and is 12 years older … sucks to pay over 500$ a month for “ your dream vehicle “ that you can’t even drive or get any real answers to what or where the problem is coming from … seems that thousands of people online have the same problem but yet no one has any solution . . Now that I’ve almost been in 3 serious accidents I decided I have to say something, 2 of these times were over 70 mph on a California freeway !!! something must be done !.
I was making a turn while pushing on the gas pedal lightly, and all of sudden the gas pedal went to the floor without pressing on it and the pedal got stuck. The engine raced up to over 5000 rpm and about 60 mph around a turn because it would not slow down. I had too keep tapping on the gas pedal to release it. Also my foot was on the break.
This is a dealer demo vehicle, first 2235 miles were demo. During my first morning (12hours after picking up at dealer) of ownership I was descending down a hill with the cruise on, and the vehicle proceeded to over speed approximately 5-7mph. I travel this hill both ways to/from work daily and this happens everytime. I though this might be an abnormal adjustment within the computer/etc so while taking in to the dealer for a tpms (tire pressure monitor system) issue I mentioned the overspeed issue to the service write up and they said that it was normal. I don't agree, but maybe it is. It does adjust back to normal cruise set speed but is unique. I had a 2002 Dodge ram 1500 previously and it did not do this, and I have drove otr (over the road) semi-trucks and know the difference with overspeed being normal and abnormal. I would like this to be looked into, as it could be a hazard that could lead to unsafe situation.
Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 10 mph the contact approached a traffic stop signal, the brake pedal was engaged; however the brake and acceleration pedal responded at the same time. The accelerator pedal was accidentally engaged due to being closely installed beside the brake pedal. The vehicle unexpectedly crashed into the proceeding vehicle. There were no personal injuries and a police report was not filed. The contact’s front bumper sustained moderate damages. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000. The VIN was unavailable. Js.
