ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE (OURS DOES NOT HAVE THE STOP START TECHNOLOGY); HOWEVER WHEN IDLING LOW OR COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL JERK THEN DIE. THE MOTOR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF; STALLING, THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART IS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND TURN IGNITION AGAIN. THE MOTOR SHUTS OFF ENTIRELY USER IS UNABLE TO DRIVE; PRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. PUSHING GAS PETAL DOES NOT WORK EVEN IF IT DID HAVE THE STOP START TECHNOLOGY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN THE CITY, HIGHWAY, AND DEFINITELY WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER DRIVER. I GET A ABS WARNING AND MY SPEED IS LIMITED TO 62MPH. MY BRAKES ARE HARDER TO PRESS ON AND DOESN'T SLOW DOWN THE TRUCK NORMALLY. I GET A ABS SIGN, TRACTION CONTROL SIGN, AND A CHECK ENGINE SIGN. THE TRUCK IS ALMOST BRAND NEW WITH ONE PREVIOUS OWNER, AND ONLY 15K MILES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. A TRUCK IS A LETHAL MACHINE AND IF I'M NOT ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK HOW IT SHOULD BE STOPPED, I COULD POSSIBLY HURT OR KILL SOMEONE.

ENGINE
ON A VERY RAINY DAY I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK I WENT THROUGH SEVERAL SMALL PUDDLES FROM RUN OFF SO NO MORE THAN TWO-THREE INCHES OF WATER. WITH A LOT OF RAIN AND SPLASHING FROM OTHER VEHICLES. MY TRUCK SPUTTERS AND DIES, NO DEEP WATER, NO OFF-ROADING. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE TRUCK IS WATERLOCKED AND IT ISNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM ASTOUNDED AS THIS WAS REGULAR DRIVING, HERE IS MY FACTORY LIFTED UP TRUCK WITH TONS OF CLEARANCE BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND LITTLE CARS PASSING ME BY DRIVING THE SAME ROAD I DID. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW OR SOMETHING AS I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THIS TRUCK IS SO FRAGILE HOW COULD I EVER TAKE IT TO A BOAT RAMP. I BOUGHT A TRUCK TO USE AS A TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, GAVE IT GAS TO GO AROUND A VEHICLE AND IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. ESC CAUTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND BRAKE WARNING/CAUTION ALL ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY AND IF I HADN'T GOTTEN OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. IF I HAD BEEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND THAT HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER, TURNED IT COMPLETELY OFF, REMOVED THE KEY, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WENT AWAY EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. HEADED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN I GAVE IT SOME GAS AND IT DID IT AGAIN. PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF/ON AND SAME RESULTS, EVERYTHING CLEARED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT. I WAS ON A CITY STREET ON BOTH OCCASIONS. I HAD TO NURSE THE GAS PEDAL RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS ABOUT 7 MILES FROM THE INITIAL INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2020 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 WITH THE 2.7L TURBO ENGINE.

AFTER PARKING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. A WARNING ON THE SCREEN SAID SOMETHING TO THE AFFECT...BRAKE ABOVE 62 MILES FAILURE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I STARTED DRIVING AND NOTICED NO BRAKE PRESSURE. PRESSED BRAKE HARD, ALL THE WAY, THEN TRUCK STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. I CHECKED FOR BREAK FLUID LEAK UNDER THE TRUCK, NO LEAKS. I OPENED THE HOOD, NO LEAKS NOTED. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT AGAIN. SAME THING...NO BREAKS. BREAK WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I FINALLY CALLED A TOW TRUCK FOR REPAIR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN TRAFFIC BEGAN TO BUILD UP. AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN I NOTICED AN EXTENDED DELAY IN STOPPING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT THIS POINT AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. I THEN EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT A LOCAL GROCERY STORE. I STARTED MY VEHICLE BACK UP AND BEGAN DRIVING TO SCHOOL. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH AND IT WAS THEN THAT MY VEHICLE ALARM WENT OFF AND SCREEN ADVISED THAT MY BRAKES HAD FAILED. I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE AND HAD NO BRAKES. I THEN PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD. MY TRUCK SLOWED ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IT INTO MY SCHOOL'S PARKING LOT. I THEN ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK AND NOTIFIED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.
