Hey guys and gals,
like the title says I seem to have a computer issue per the dealer. 2011 Silverado LT 2WD Crew Cab with 77K miles. I purchased the truck used on 11/9 from a GM dealer and drove home about 200 miles with no issue. 11/10 I drove to work about 20 miles, it sat for 12 hours, and then I started my drive home. About 14 miles into my drive the dash lights, gauges, radio, door locks, throttle, and transmission went haywire.
1. The door locks unlocked and locked repeatedly for about 15 to 20 seconds.
2. The gauge lights and radio lights dimmed.
3. The radio volume reduced to a level that couldn't be heard.
4. The throttle did not work.
5. The transmission down-shifted to a lower gear, the RPMs shot to about 5K, and then it went back to Drive.
All of this occurred at a highway speed of about 65 to 70 mph. I turned on the flashers and started making my way to the emergency lane when all the power came back but the throttle still felt sluggish.
Within a 1/4 of a mile it did the same thing all over again. I made it to the exit, activated OnStar to have them run a diagnostic check, and they reported no issues found. I drove the remaining 6 miles to my home without issue however the throttle still felt less responsive than it had previously. The check engine light never illuminated.
I had it towed to the nearest GM dealer and they are still running diagnostics. The service tech did say it had some codes but didn't know specifically what they were. The only report as of close of business 11/11 is it is a computer issue.
The dealer I purchased the truck from has been completely on-board from the moment I contacted them. They have contacted the dealership where the truck was towed to and advised them to submit all repair costs to them. Additionally they are covering a rental for me during this time.
I apologize for the long introductory post but long lead to an obvious question, anyone else ever seen or heard of this?
Thanks
