What owners wrote

While pulling into a gas station travelling no more than 10 mph the truck turned hard toward a gas pump island and crashed into the island barrier guard. After shutting down the engine and restarting I pulled the truck out of contact with the barrier. The ESC light is now on. It still drives but pulls hard to the right. I have contacted the local dealer that I will be using for repairs and will deliver it to their shop tomorrow. It has not been inspected yet.

October 2022 Crash

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50-55 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and started sputtering. The contact stated that the messages “Service ESP” and “Service Parking Brake” were displayed, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the residence, turned off, and the contact waited for 30 minutes to restart the vehicle.
