1 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 08/16/2020

While driving in reverse I will lose power steering and stability control warning comes on. This has been happening for months now. Today while driving when I put my blinker on the stability control warning went on my lights dimmed and truck was shutting off but then came back on. When turning the stability control came on and my vehicle completely shut off while driving. If I wasn't going down a low traffic street I would have crashed. When driving at night with the ac on when getting on my brakes the headlights dim steering wheel will lock up and the stability control will come on and tries to kill the motor. This for the most time happens when getting in my driveway, today was the first time it happened while driving at higher speeds.

2 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 07/23/2020

While driving 41-60mph, the truck starts to idle as if the brakes are being pushed on one tire and the brake pedals and gas pedal tend to vibrate as if it were to fall off. After awhile doing that, the stability control light message comes on after reaching the middle of the coolant temperature and the problem goes away. Seems like it does it when it's on low temperature.

6 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 04/16/2016

My traction stability light came on. Took it to the dealership where they charged me $100. 00 to diagnose it and tape a sensor. A week later it came on again, I looked this issue up on the internet and everybody is having these problems. Why is this not a safety recall? I have less than 46,000 miles on my vehicle, I should not be having this issue. Gm better do something about this.

8 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 07/23/2015

I was entering I-75 interstate ramp and moving along with traffic and about 70 mph, the door locks started going up and down on there own, the instrument cluster needles started sporadically going up and down then they show no signs of anything, the airbag light came on along with the chime sound, the stability control light came on, the truck lost a little bit of power when trying to accelerate, I did smell a burnt wire odor. I have replaced the battery and alternator and still the problem exists. This has happen twice before this incident. The stability control light came on and the truck ran really rough. I took it to my local Chevrolet dealer ship and they told me that the number 8 cylinder had oil leaking into it which I see no signs of blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe and have been driving it for 5 months now with no problems except what is going on now with the electrical system. I have been researching the electrical problems with this year truck and it seems to be a wide spread manufacture problem. I have also seen pictures of the same year truck with the same problems that are described above and this ladies truck burned from the dashboard all the way to the front seats. A total loss. General motors needs to address this problem immediately before someone dies. Recall recall recall!!!.

9 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 02/02/2015

Driving 65 on cruise control when check engine, stability control lights came on. Message center said reduced power I got to a small service garage and he told me I should shut it off wait 15 minutes and it will reset and it did. I drove another 80 miles again the same thing happened. The first garage guy told me it was a gm issue and I should go see them they should repair it. He said it was a problem with the throttle body assembly and in the cold it get sluggish and gm should fix it because they had problems with some of them. It happened again 20 miles later. I got back to the gm dealer where I purchased it he confirmed it was they throttle body assembly but didn't have time to replace it. He offered to clean it (free of charge) and sent me on my way telling me if it happened again I should make an appointment to replace (approx. 400-600 dollars). I done some investigating on this matter and found this was a common issue. I stopped at another gm dealer and explained my problem he confirmed the original theory checked the VIN # and told me gm is fixing this problem for 10 years from the original purchase date. I guess I need to stop buying from my original gm dealer where I had purchased my last two vehicles. I have not had a problem with it again but I have only driven 600 miles since then.

10 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 11/04/2012

While driving with cruise control on at highway speeds, the traction stability light came on along with brake light. The door locks activated and all dash backlighting went out. After shutting off engine, all electrical power shut off to include the clock on the radio. I checked battery connections and after wiggling the positive battery cable, the power came on. The clock was set to 12:00, and the a/c was reset to 74. This was the first incident. After several incidents, my truck actually stalled in an intersection and I had to stop in the road to adjust the battery cable. I have had approximately 20 incidents of similar nature, each time with increasing symptoms. At one point, the warning light for the a/c overheating came on. Also, the battery and cables become extremely hot, and stay hot after engine shutdown for several hours until the cable is readjusted. I have read several forums looking for a solution, and have concluded the most likely source is a failing positive battery cable. In the forums, it seems that the cable was redesigned in 2007, and has affected all vehicles through 2013. This poses a threat to overheating battery connections which could lead to a fire, and threat of a vehicle collision.

11 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 01/26/2011

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 ##.
