While driving home around 10 pm with small children; my truck started to surge, became difficult to control, and the gauges did not register anything ( all at 0). this road was in the middle of nowhere and outside a bad area, so i called my husband to come follow me home and i drove home slowly all the while enduring a chugging motion. what is normally a 20 minute trip became an hour and a half trip. when i got home and shut the truck off my husband looked at it thinking that the fuel injectors could be the problem since they had just been recalled and replaced. the truck would not start when he went to restart it and the dash said 'unknown driver". through some research we discovered it is a faulty passlock system. we went through the recommendations and it was fixed. this occurred again today august 18, 2011 while driving and i now can not start my vehicle or have it towed because it can not be put on a truck because everything is locked up tight and can not be unlocked. we changed the batteries in the key fobs to no avail. the windows are stuck open and it is rainy season here. they lights come on and the information center keeps says 'unknown driver." i am now afraid to drive my truck for fear that the next time i will not be able to control it. i have an 18 year old that drives my truck to college and i live in great fear that he will not be able to control the vehicle if it does the same thing while driving it. *tr

This claim is on a chevy silverado 3500 diesel truck that i bought new. around 30,000 miles this vehicle was taken in for clutch problems 3 times, brakes going to the floor, the windshield coming loose, radio problems, steering problems and tire wear. general motors, the better business bureau and the federal government was contacted an assured me this truck was not a lemon, i said it was. now between 30,000 and 90,000 miles i have had numerous problems. i had the doors lock for no reason at all, lock by themselves. both driver and passenger doors have hung at the fender causing massive dents where i had to force the doors open due to contact between the door and fender. the initial brake problem has come back. i had a water leak in the cab around the lights, that caused water damage to the seats. i rewired the rear lights, because the circuit board went out several times. four sets of tires have been placed on this truck at 90,000 miles (tires cost around $1,000 a set). i have tried three brands of tires. they are generals (6 ply), geo trac (10 ply), and toyo (10 ply). the dash system is going out (dash costs $1200). the truck is lacking power when pulling and today 7/28/2010 the clutch almost came out during normal driving at 90,232 miles (probably will cost between $2,000 and $3,000 if not more). the engine oil plus filter, the fuel filters, and greasing of the tie rod ends are all done per manufactures specifications. this truck has never been in a wreck, but looking at the door and fender problem, one would think it has. this truck has been a problem from day one. it is a lemon and a safety hazard. the lemon law was changed from three failures to four failures during the time this happened. now the vehicle lemon law year is any vehicle 2004 or after. this truck is a 2003 model. it is time all parties involved come to the table and deal. the vehicle had an oil leak between the clutch and the engine that was never fixed. the engine was not running at full rpm. updated ivoq 10/01/10 *tr
