My husband and I were driving about 45 MPH down a steep hill, towing a utility trailer, on sr87 in the mountains when the door locks clicked and the engine turned completely off with no warning. The steering wheel locked up and the brakes did not work. My husband put the car in neutral as it accelerated down a cliff and attempted to restart it with no luck. There were no cars immediately around us so we were able to coast to a stop on a steep incline. When we got out to check it, there was oil all over the wheel wells and still no warning lights had come on. We took it to the dealership and they told us the transmission was completely blown on our 6 year old truck. There was zero explanation as to why this would happen as well as to why we had no warning prior to the engine shutting off. We were told to pay better attention to the temp. Even though it did not overheat. Chevy offered no relief or help. We were quoted a price about $2000 less for the initial transmission repair than it would have cost so we took it to a non-dealership shop to repair. This weekend, the check engine light came on out of nowhere indicating loss of power and the stabilitrack warning came on even thought that was previously repaired by a dealership on a tsb about a year prior to the transmission going out. The code it threw this time was p0305 and we were on very limited power driving back home from a road trip. Could not go more than 40 MPH uphill. Extremely concerned for our safety since the vehicle can turn off with no warning. Also, the money spent is ridiculous.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 driver assistance complaints

While driving down the hwy my vehicle all of a sudden started dinging at me and shifting hard. I noticed that the service stabilitrak and service traction control lights were on. They stayed on for about 5 min and then went away and everything seemed fine. About 5 min later the same thing happen with the warning lights and the vehicle started shifting very hard again only this time it caused my doors to lock and unlock on there own. At this point I pulled over and called my husband. He told me to shut the truck off and restart it, so I did. Everything was fine when I got home but the next day it began doing it all over again while driving in town. We took it to a mechanic and they changed the spark plugs and everything seemed great for about a month but now it is back to doing it again. I researched online to see if I could find out what was going on and noticed many other people having the same issues. Just trying to get to the bottom of why this is going on and the gm dealer is not much help as they give a new reason each time you take it in to get checked.

I have not gotten the recall on the airbag fixed as of this date. Dealer says there is no fix for it. As for the stability control and traction control, I was driving the truck on a local street when the rear wheels locked up. Luckily I was only doing about 30 when this happened. I took it to the dealer figuring it was a recall seeing as I feel it is a safety issue. I was charged $654.00 to repair it. I am thankful I was on a local street, I can only imaging what might have happened if I had been on the interstate doing 70. I see where many others have reported the same problem and I feel I was charged when this is a safty issue the chevrolet should repair at their expense.
Driving down highway the service stailbitrack control comes on with reduce engine power. The truck hesitates and can not get up to speed. I travel the highway everyday and this is a very serious problem.
Body control modulator went out and I was driving with break lights on which is hard to tell until I figured out my cruise control wasn't working. Dangerous! Also, throttle body position sensor went out and shut my engine down to low power mode while I was driving on the highway. Also very dangerous!! Also realized this was a common problem among many people online.
This makes the 3rd time it's been in the shop this month for the same than the check engine light ,track control, stayble control engine reduce power.
Driving 65 on cruise control when check engine, stability control lights came on. Message center said reduced power I got to a small service garage and he told me I should shut it off wait 15 minutes and it will reset and it did. I drove another 80 miles again the same thing happened. The first garage guy told me it was a gm issue and I should go see them they should repair it. He said it was a problem with the throttle body assembly and in the cold it get sluggish and gm should fix it because they had problems with some of them. It happened again 20 miles later. I got back to the gm dealer where I purchased it he confirmed it was they throttle body assembly but didn't have time to replace it. He offered to clean it (free of charge) and sent me on my way telling me if it happened again I should make an appointment to replace (approx. 400-600 dollars). I done some investigating on this matter and found this was a common issue. I stopped at another gm dealer and explained my problem he confirmed the original theory checked the VIN # and told me gm is fixing this problem for 10 years from the original purchase date. I guess I need to stop buying from my original gm dealer where I had purchased my last two vehicles. I have not had a problem with it again but I have only driven 600 miles since then.
I was riding at about 25 MPH engine reduce power light came on, engine had no power to pull. Engine stabilizer control light came on. This is about the third time this has happen. The first time it happen the vehicle had less than a 115,000 miles on it. The second time it happen I call the dealer they replaced a sensor on the throttle body. They told me if it didn't work that I would have to replace the throttle body out of my own pocket. Now it is doing it again. I think it something wrong with the throttle body system from the manufacturer. If this happens on a major highway it could cause injury or a fatality.
This has happened twice in the last week. Today I was sitting at a stoplight with my foot on the brake and suddenly without warning my 2010 silverado accelerated and lunged forward about 3 feet. Fortunately there was not a car or person in front of me or I surely would have had an accident then the engine started missing. At the same time my check engine light came on. Service traction control, service stabiltrak, engine power reduced flashed on my dash. I limped home at 10-15 MPH max! After about an hour I started it and it ran just fine "both times". The first time this happened I was in a parking lot with the transmission in park. It is now at my local chevrolet dealer for repair.
