WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILTRAK,ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE POWERS DOWN AND BARELY MOVES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOSTLY DURING COLD WEATHER, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED IN WARM WEATHER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TRYING TO MANEUVER OUT OF TRAFFIC. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WHEN CHECKED OVER THEY REPORTED THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY AFTER SITTING THERE ALL NIGHT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I HAVE READ MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES, THE LATEST AROUND JANUARY OF 2019.
