2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

IGNITION SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. IT WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CITY STREETS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE LOCK BUTTONS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK REPEATEDLY WHILE SHOWING THE TRUCK IN PARK, ALL WHILE GOING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. IT'S TERRIFYING. SOMETIMES IT WON'T START OR DO ANYTHING. BUT IF I JIGGLE IT THEN IT WILL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MULTIPLE DRIVERS. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND DID SOME QUICK ONLINE SEARCHES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS.
