FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was driving north on Va. 10 in Hopewell when my engine unexpectedly, with no warning, quit. I was in heavy traffic with no power brakes or steering and had to maneuver to the right lane and find an area that was off the road that I could get into. Fortunatley there was a parking lot that I managed to coast into. The truck would not re-fire so I called for a wrecker

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While going through an S curve the dash lights went dark and engine quit while pulling a trailer. Had no power steering or brakes. Put it in neutral and was able to get engine started again before hitting a car coming from the other direction. On initial start up, there was a message "action required, open then close driver window". All dash settings for radio, information and media had to be reset. This is dangerous, vehicle shutting down randomly, as it could cause accident and injury or even death.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
#1- I had my truck in a few years ago for a brake issues that they said was a computer reprogramming issue and vacuum pump. They repaired and the issue slowly came back. Now it feels as if there is little to no assist with braking and stopping distance is growing. I feel like my family is at risk if there were ever to be a time I need to brake hard or fast. Theire are no warning lamps but obvious excessive braking effort and can feel the brake rotors through the pedal. #2- Intermittently, at low speeds, pulling into parking lots and parking spaces while turning the steering wheel, electrical power cuts out, steering wheel jerks out of hand, and a dash light comes on saying "service stabilitrack". This is a huge safety issue that could certainly cause an accident. I have Googled this very common issue with my year Chevy Silverado and personally checked the grounds on the left and right under the front dash panel by each speaker and found them to be clean and tight. This leads me to believe it is something else and electrical and a huge safety problem. Only issue is that it is very random and hard to replicate. Seems to happen on hot days when I've been driving a lot. I just got off the phone with the local dealership and they are saying there are no other recalls aside from the current one for air bag issues which I just scheduled. But these other issues I feel are definitely safety manufacturer defects/issues especially being that it has been in for the brake issue once already and the steering/electrical issue is such a common thing when searching the internet.

SERVICE BRAKES
The power assist for the brakes intermittently goes out and does not work, typically happens at low speed like when parking. The most recent time this started happening a ‘brake assist’ notification appeared on my dashboard. This is a safety concern. I see a recall for my model and year, but when I inquired was told my VIN was not covered. The existing recall number that I believe should be expanded to cover my VIN is recall number N192268490 and is also listed as NHSTA campaign numbers 19V645 and 20V603. Please look into this and expand the recall to cover my vehicle and others that should be covered for this safety defect.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Upon purchasing a New 2015 Silverado my factory paint started pealing around the rear doors approx. 1 year after owning the truck. Upon first sight of the pealing paint I took the truck back to the GM dealer and pointed out the 2 rear doors and the flaking paint. They told me that since I was out of bumper to bumper warranty coverage and over the 36,000 mile warranty they couldn't do anything for me. The issue was getting worse so I took it back again and this time I went through GM Corp. and they offered to give me a discount on the paint job to fix the issue. I'm sorry but a discount on a FACTORY PROBLEM is NOT ACCEPTABLE....especially if its going to cost me $2,000 of my own money to fix a GM PROBLEM!!!!

ENGINE
With only 32,000 miles the active fuel management system went out. The lifters failed and caused internal engine damage. My vehicle was well maintained using only high quality synthetic motor oil. I am on the hook for over $5000 in engine repairs. This technology was a miserable failure and the consumer should not be held responsible for poor engineering.
