Passing a vehicle on county black top road,accelerated to initiate passing gear. Accelerator stuck eng RPM at full speed. Attempted to alleviate to no avail. Attempted to shift to neutral but went into reverse also applied brakes. As a result there were 420 ft. Of skid marks then right front wheel hit shoulder of road and vehicle went end over end landing in ditch on its top. The air bags did not deploy and there I was no recorded incidence on the data recorder. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance co. My concern is that this vehicle could be rebuilt and put back on the road as drivable vehicle since it had only 13,000 miles on it. If no cause for the malfunction can be determined there is a distinct possibility this could happen again with possible loss of life.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
