2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: won't start

Filed Oct 26, 2026 · Engine · OH

I took my truck and atvs from Ohio to Michigan for vacation. We took my truck out. We swerved to miss a deer. Pulled over to check everything out and the truck shut down and would not start. Called roadside assistance, they towed vehicle to a Chevy dealer. Dealer calls me later that afternoon telling me the engine locked up and needed replaced. The truck had 5,800 miles when this happened. We were also traveling at low speeds. If this had happened on the freeway it may have caused a serious accident and may have resulted in injury or loss of life. Since they replaced the failed engine with the same engine I am concerned it will do this again and have no confidence in this vehicle.

The vehicle's power steering went out mid drive on the road after being driven about 2 miles. I was unable to turn the wheel. I attempted to restart the car at that point is when the engine would not start. The truck did not move in the middle of traffic. This is caused by some electrical problem. The dealer does not know what the issue is and they could not duplicate the issue. It is the second time it has happened to me.

Vehicle has less then 700 miles. Upon driving vehicle, the dashboard started losing information, no speedometer. When I tried to pull the truck over to the side of the road, the power steering was lost. It was nearly impossible to turn the wheel, then the engine stopped. I was unable to turn on blinkers or hazard warning lights. When I put the vehicle in park to try a restart the engine would not turn over. The transmission was locked in Park and unable to shift to neutral to try to push vehicle to safe spot. At this point I was blocking the road. Called for roadside assistance, two hours later vehicle was towed to Chevrolet dealership, were it is being assessed.
