MY TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH SENSORS GOING BAD AND CHECK ENGINGE LIGHT ALWAYS COMING ON. NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH A SOLENOID GOING BAD. THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD THE "CLUNK" AS PEOPLE DISCRIBE IT SINCE I PURCHASED IT. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT SO I WAS TOLD AND THAT WAS NORMAL. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR AND MAKE SILVERADO ITS PRETTY SAD THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. NOW MY TRUCK SITS AND STILL PAYING THE NOTE BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT A TON OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED. HOW MANY THIGS DO I HAVE TO CHANGE BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOPS COMING ON. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US WHO OWN A CHEVY AND HAVE GM MAKE THIS RIGHT.

DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. THE LIGHTBULB IS IN GOOD ORDER. THE PIGTAIL SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT/SMALL FIRE, PLASTIC MELTING, CARBON IN THE METAL CONTACT ON THE LIGHTBULB AND SOCKET. THE PIGTAIL WAS REPLACED AND LASTED APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH TO SHOW THE SAME ISSUES. I AM AFRAID OF A VEHICLE FIRE. THE VEHICLE'S STABILITRACK IS UNUSABLE, THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THE ISSUES HAPPENED SUDDENLY DURING NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES ARE ONGOING AND STARTED SIX MONTHS AGO.

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY AND THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABLITRAK TURNED OFF. LIGHTS CAME ON, ON THE DASH SAYING SERVICE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE, BUT WITHIN 30 MINUTES IT COMES BACK ON. USUALLY COMES ON WHEN NORMAL BRAKING (NOT HARD) YOU CAN FEEL THE ABS LOCK UP AND THE LIGHTS COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND ABS IS OFF. SOME DAYS THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS YOU START THE TRUCK IN THE MORNING AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL. NEVER HAD THE TRUCK OFF ROAD, ON ROAD USE ONLY, TRUCK IS STOCK AND HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED YET. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 2 WEEKS, AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 38XXX MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND STILL IS HAPPENING. THE DATE REPORTED WAS AN ESTIMATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE MONTHS

MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES AS I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION OFF, STABILTRAC OFF, THE AIRVENTS STOPPED BLOWING COOL AIR AND RELEASED HUMIDITY, BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY (HARD TO ACTUALLY BREAK), STEERING WHEEL/POWER STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OR GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMS THE VEHICLE JUST DECIDED TO SUDDENLY STALL WHILE IN MOTION. I WAS VERY LUCKY DUE TO SUDDEN HIGH RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING ANYONE HURT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE I GOT IN PARK AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, EVERYTHING WAS FINE SHOWING NO ISSUES BUT I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT CRANK OR TRY TO TURN OVER BUT ALL ELECTRONICS/LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING. I CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS, ALL WAS FINE AND THEN I WENT TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO START THE VEHICLE. TO MY SURPRISE, IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOT READING ANY OTHER MESSAGES. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE WORKING PROPERLY BUT I WAS TOO SCARED TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT HAVING AN IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST TRUSTED AUTO PLACE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO USE A SCANNER TO FIND THE TROUBLE CODES OF MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE WAS FOR A MALFUNCTION WITH THE INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE (CODE: P0601). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK AND ITS VERY SCARY TO FEEL AT RISK FOR A SUDDEN MALFUNCTION TO CAUSE A CRASH. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BULLETIN NO: 14515B, THAT HAD COVERED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ISSUES AND FOR MY VEHICLE'S YEAR/MODEL. MY VIN DIDN'T REGISTER FOR ANY RECALLS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER VEHICLES ARE GETTING QUALIFIED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING. *TR
