What owners wrote
Fatal collision occurred on 8/20/15 on sr 126e in lane county, oregon. Vehicle drifted off roadway and sustained frontal impact with large tree resulting in engine fire. This is the third of three chev silverados that have been involved in frontal impacts this year that has resulted in a fire
My car has only 50,400 miles-its a 2009, yesterday while driving I felt a jolting in the rear end of the truck and it continued each time I stopped and started driving again. I took it to my mechanic who informed me it was a transmission shifting problem. I went on line and discovered that this issue has been related to other silverado trucks as a recall due to a shift cable adjuster problem which can lead to a roll away.
