Horn Assembly Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Check engine warning light came on then immediately lost all engine power completely stalled), electrical (except headlights), power steering, power brakes. Engine would not restart after vehicle stopped (went into walk home mode), not even the horn would work! after about 20 minutes, the engine would restart and I could drive home, but with the check engine light on. I took the truck to the dealership the next day. The reprogrammed the main computer. After a few days, it happened again! took the truck back to the dealer. They said they would need to order a new computer, they reprogrammed the defective computer again and said they would call when the new one was in. The same condition repeated itself a few more times before the new computer came in and they replaced it. No problems since. I consider loosing all power in a turn onto an interstate rather dangerous! the dealership confided my experience was not at all unusual with these vehicles.

While returning home from a 2 week vacation (30 miles from home) slowed down to make a right turn on a city street in woodland, CA, the truck just shut down, no steering, no brakes, no engine, total electrical shutdown. It was everything I could do to make the turn and pull to the right. At the time I was pulling my 2009 bighorn fifth wheel trailer. It was a scary time. I finally stopped, lucky there was no cars parked on the right near the curb. I put the transmission in neutral and restarted the engine. Then we continued the trip home to winters, CA. I took the truck to imler diesel in sacramento to check the engine out. They replaced the injectors which we had agreed to do prior to making the two week trip. The next trip was to bodega bay on January 14, 2014. We traveled about 100 miles. Again we were pulling our fifth wheel trailer. Slowing down from 55 mph to 15 mph, preparing to make a left turn in doran beach park at bodega bay, the truck shut down again. I came so close to hitting a tree. Oncoming traffic stopped just in time as the speed limit at 55 mph seemed to see what was happening giving me time to restart and move off the highway. My wife and I were both shaken up a bit, but also feeling very lucky not having a crash. We continued home 4 days later. We parked the truck. The milage was 143579 at the start of the trip and 143819 at end. I have not used the truck since. I do not feel it is safe to drive. I was lucky twice, don't know if I want to risk a third try. Looking back, the shutdown did happen two other times but I was not pulling the fifth wheel trailer, I can't remember the dates. Chevrolet lt 2500 hd 4x4 diesel 2003 truck.

I've had it less than 1 year, and has under 90,000 miles. I left my house and got 1/4 mile down the street and the entire cab of the truck filled with smoke. Had to call 911 and have the fire department come to the scene. An electrical fire above the head liner killed the electronics in the entire vehicle. No lights, power seats, radio, dash cluster, external lights and signals, horn, windows,nothing works, engine wont start. The fire appears to have started next to the on star speaker in the headliner.
