Hey everyone, I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. I bought it in April of last year and it has been miserable. I visited the dealership more times than i can count and some problems still are happening. The main problem is my truck shutting off. In Early September, I noticed as i was driving my radio would go black, then as i would tap my breaks everything would shut off and turn back on. As this happens, the stabilitrak light comes on, my truck stalls (sometimes) steering wheel locks and starts shaking. Now this happens everyday when i drive it. Go to the dealership they say it is a corroded wire, they take care of it and send me on my way. December of 2019 my truck starts doing the EXACT same thing, except now i can't even do anything but shift my truck into park and restart it, every small touch on the brake shuts my truck off. Now i live in the mountains, and we have a lot of hills. Imagine driving a blacked out truck in the middle of the night on a hilly road with no lights and your truck completely cuts out. It was sketchy. I go to the dealership, ONCE again. They replaced a WHEEL BEARING. Saying it caused the issue. tf... To my surprise the truck has been fine. Fast track to June, present day. Drive my truck for a half hour or more, the problem is back. Now i am pissed. My boyfriend and myself do research and we found a youtube video about GM trucks and problems with G218. All the exact problems to a T! i brought it to the dealership this morning, they refuse to do anything until the truck signals any of these problems. Instead of popping open the dashboard to even just look. It has been 6 hours and now they are keeping it overnight. 40 minutes from where i live.. I am pissed. I did my homework and presented it to them, thought they had listened but apparently not. From how it seems, i am not the only problem having this issue with 2014+ older GM trucks. Everyone keeps saying this needs to be a recall but the dealerships WILL NOT listen. I know people on this forum who have spent thousands on diagnosis's for their trucks to just have them messed around with. Anyone else having this issue? I would love for my boyfriend to just fix it but then it voids my warranty. How the hell do we get GM to acknowledge this and make it a recall. I am by far not the only person having this issue.

Hey everyone, thanks for the add! Got myself a 2016 Canyon SLE. I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas about something I've been looking through forums for before going to a shop. I was driving it to lunch and as I was turning, it completely stalled out on me. Battery was still on but no acceleration as if the engine cut off yet no indicators popped up on the dash. I quickly threw it in park, turned it off completely and restarted it no problem and its still driving smooth with no other issues. There anyone with the same problem before or ideas of what it might be?

Got in my truck one morning, instantly started acting like it was out of gas, backfiring, loud as hell, weird gas smell, stalling out, then ultimately not starting at all. I've replaced: spark plugs and throttle position sensor and changed the oil. The shop replaced: Crankshaft position sensor, battery, terminals, fuel pump, replaced and or reprogrammed the ECM. Now they are saying it's the timing. I'm at my wit's end with this truck I'm not convinced it's the timing considering he's been wrong on everything else. I'd like to think it's fuel related, but to be honest I'm totally clueless as to what's going on at this point.
