 Description of the problemWithin two months of purchasing my brand new silverado, i noticed this issue and it has persisted. My vehicle now has 73,000 miles on it, and it happens even more frequently. I've brough this problem up to chevy on multiple occasions, and they have always told me to bring the vehicle when it's doing this, but within 30 minutes of operating the vehicle, the warning lights go off. Many times when i start my vehicle, the "stabilitrack", and "anti-lock brake system" warning lights come on. There's normally a click/thud when i start the vehicle, immediately followed by the warning lights coming on. When it does this, a lot of times the vehicle won't even shift into gear for about five minutes. It's my belief that when these lights are on, these items aren't working. I've driven up to 45 minutes with both lights being on. They will usually stay on until i've operated the vehicle for at least 30 minutes, and then turn the vehicle off. After i've done so, and then restarted the vehicle, the lights will usually go off. These are both very impotant safety features. I've gone on numerous gm threads and found that hundreds of silverado owners from 2007 up until today continue to have the issue and nobody ever does anything about it. The owners who did get gm to actually turn a wrench in efforts to fix the problem all say it ultimately returned. The vehicle not going into gear is something that recently started happening with the problem. If i start the truck and the warning lights aren't on, the vehicle operates fine, however, if i start the vehicle and the warning lights are on, it usually takes several minutes to get the vehicle in gear.
