ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
**randomly at any given speed ** First the radio system will randomly turn off then moments later… stabiliTrak off flashes followed by abs and traction control lights on dash then suddenly my Chevrolet Silverado has a mind of its own ! The door locks will flicker uncontrollably , and the vehicle just suddenly has a loss of power while rpms and gauges are continuously moving while you are unable to even move the vehicle .. this is a ongoing problem since 2019 , that no one seems to have an answer too .. I’ve taken it to 3 different mechanics and still no answers … when it first started happening it was super random and would happen a few times a day but then not happen for months on end then all of the sudden now it is happening several days a week .. I’m currently scared to even drive it which is horrible considering the amount of money I’ve put into this truck .. it has only 100k miles but somehow I am stuck using my dads old truck with 330k miles on it which seems to be more reliable and is 12 years older … sucks to pay over 500$ a month for “ your dream vehicle “ that you can’t even drive or get any real answers to what or where the problem is coming from … seems that thousands of people online have the same problem but yet no one has any solution .. Now that I’ve almost been in 3 serious accidents I decided I have to say something, 2 of these times were over 70 mph on a California freeway !!! Something must be done !

The possible failure of a faulty passenger side airbag has put the safety of my family at risk of possible injury or death. I recieved this recall notice going on five months ago now. What is Takata doing about this? Is anything being done? I think this criminal. Who is supposed to have answers to these questions? How long does something like this usually take to get resolved? Recall notice N212328800.

The dashboard on the vehicle is cracked around the area where the passengers side airbag is. The crack originated early on and was minimal and I was advised by the dealership that this was due to warping and not an issue with GMC pickups. I've come to find out from chat boards and other friend, coworkers and family that they have similar issues with their GMC dashboards on both pickup trucks and SUV vehicles.
