I was on highway 84 passing another car at speed 75 MPH the door locks started came on and off, the safety belt lights came on, the engine started to slow and speed up, the clock went from 4:00 pm to 12:00 pm, the date went to 01/01/2004, the A/C started to blow hot air. I stopped on the shoulder and turned it off, everything stopped only the ABS light stayed on. I called onstar to check what's wrong, they said everything looks good, check the tires, if the tires are good, you are good to drive. All tires were 33psi. I reset all the electronic functions and went home. I was in danger for at least 5 minutes in the left lane passing another car.

Airbags service light is on. Contacted dealer about recall. My truck was within VIN range but because it was not sold up north they would not do anything. One door will not lock and two door will not unlock. The computer has been replaced twice. The injector replaced. The fuel rail replaced. Ac unit replaced. Check engine light has been on and checked 17 times for dealers to not be able to find any problem. Stabilitrack problem light been on along with ABS light. This all started with less than 2000 miles. Dealers was helpful while under warranty but could not care less now.

On multiple occurrences, driving at varying speeds, without traction control disengaged, the parking brake and traction controls warning lights and sounds activated for no apparent reason. The lcd dic indicated stabilitrak off and service brake system messages. Tried engaging and disengaging both the parking brake and traction control with no change. When the parking brake was engaged however, the sounder began sounding again and when disengaged it would shut off. Service brakes, rotors and calipers were replaced approximately 4000-4500 miles ago. First occurrence was about 1000 miles ago. Has occurred 3 times total. Possible bad ABS sensor?

I own a 2008 silverado that I bought new before the bailout and everything at chevy was being given away. My problem is intermittent and seems to fix itself, I have had the A/C not work ABS lights flash,power door locks fluctuate and all that while driving. When it is parked I will unlock it using the key fob everything will light up truck will unlock get put key in the ignition to start and everything will shut off. It is as if someone took out the battery, I have no horn no 4ways no power of any kind. Now it does not do this all the time but is happening more frequently. Last time I took it to the dealer the tech told me it fixed itself he don't know what he did,but told me to get rid of it as soon as possible. That was while it was under warranty now it will cost me a small fortune for them to tell to get rid of it.

Forty-five days after purchasing a used 2008 chevy silverado 1500 4x4, the 'service ABS and stabilitrak' warning lights appeared on the drivers informational screen. Following the manufactures recommendation to re-set the components did not resolve the issues. Warning lights appeared every time the vehicle was started. Vehicle was returned to dealer where the right-rear wheel sensor was found to be wet, corroded and broken. Dealer service advisor (and) technician stated they 'have seen this on many other [same make and model] trucks.' damaged sensor replaced at my expense and old sensor retained by dealer.
