ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
While slowing down to make a right turn the engine stalled and the electrical power was lost rendering the power steering inoperable. The loss of power steering created a dangerous situation where I almost hit a tree. Also there has been several occasions while driving on the freeway the electrical power stalled. Thankfully it was only for less than two seconds, but I can't imagine what would have happened on a busy freeway had it not been only a temporary loss of power. I read online that these problems are not uncommon. I have taken the truck to a Chevy dealer where they replaced battery cables they said had some resistance in them. It's been a month since the repair ($1300 later) was made and have not experienced any problem since. After experiencing these "power failers", there would be a message on the dash that would state "OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW'

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While plowing, my ABS brake light came on along with a warning that the ESC was disabled and a trailer brake system warning.. This appears to have been a recall for 2020 1500's but I have a 2500. It would appear the recall needs to be expanded.

POWER TRAIN
The Chevy Silverado shakes around 65-70 mph and is continuing to worsen over the course of time. The original driveshaft may have been replaced by a dealer in the past (vin shows zero recalls to a known failure caused by aluminum driveshafts), but they have been replaced with the exact same aluminum driveshafts. This never resolved the original failure, but only pushed the failure down the road temporarily, putting new buyers safety at risk.

SERVICE BRAKES
At lower speeds the brake pedal become stiff making it extremely difficult to stop. Sometimes the antilock breaks will kick in to help, but sometimes that doesn't even stop the truck. On several occasions I have nearly hit other cars because the brakes fail to engage. On one occasion when parking in a multi story parking garage, the truck almost plowed through the side barrier because it wouldn't stop. The brakes also fail when going in reverse at low speeds. It appears that the brake assist vacuum pump is failing as has been reported by a number of other complaints. The brake pads and rotors are all in good shape and the truck has only 68,000 miles.

POWER TRAIN
The torque converter failed internally allowing the torque converter clutch to shudder. The fluid exchange has already been done on RO#587959. Vehicle had 40k when torque converter was replaced. Issue arouse after a road trip to Houston Tx and progressive more at various speeds. James Wood dealership replaced the torque converter since it was still under power train warranty. When I researched online, I realized that this is a common problem within the 2014-2018 Silverado models. I hope I that after the dealership replaced this defected part I don't experience additional mechanical issue related to this faulty part.

POWER TRAIN
Driving on state highway and truck felt like it went into neutral. Pulled to side of road and put truck in park. Put truck in gear and nothing happened. Truck would not move from side of the road. Had truck towed to dealership and was told that the transmission was burnt out and had to be replaced. 2019 Chevy Trail Boss with 90k miles and the transmission fails. Unbelievable.
