I lose electric power steering while turning hard left sometimes my lights flicker when I use my left directional signals at times after a hard left turn engine stalls talk to my dealer the dealer says he cannot help me with this problem because there are so many different things that could be involved I have 88,000 miles on this truck and the dealer says if he tries to attempt to repair this I would be responsible to pay him he cannot tell me how many hours it would take. On two or three websites I have found one is a GM website many people have complained about this issue.

Silverado 1500

  • 75,000 miles
My truck on a few different occasions has had the stability of arming come on out of nowhere and go off. When I back my truck in my drive way a couple times when I am going backwards and turning I have had the truck almost die due to the draw from the powerstering pump as I turn the steering wheel. I have had the engine die once while backing it in the driveway leaving me stranded in the street for a minute while the truck seemed to re-boot. When I am in park at night if the truck is running in park with the lights on and I turn the steering wheel back and forth the light will really dim and pulse as the steering wheel goes back and forth. With these issues I hope that this doesn't happen at an intersection or somewhere with more traffic and cause an accident that I have no control over.

Product safety recall 17276 loss of steering assist -- my truck is not involved in this recall, but I am having the exact issues described in the recall, sudden loss and return of eps assist. This happens at low speeds when turning or backing, both forward and reverse motions. I am also having issues with the cruise control shutting off intermittently when activating the turn indicator to change lanes. I understand that this may be related to this recall, as the electrical software issues can cause other electrical systems to become temporarily disabled, such as the radio, stabilitrack, dic, chimes, door-lock cycling, air conditioning, or cruise control. Also, when the turn indicator is activated and the cruise control shuts off, the dash lights also flicker. I have already had this truck in to the dealer once to fix this, and they refused to run the recall because my truck was not in the recall group. Instead they charged me over $1,000 to replace a steering wheel position sensor, which I now doubt was the problem since the issues with loss of steering and disabling of cruise control have returned. I just want this fixed.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the steering wheel was extremely tight when turning it in either direction. The dealer (kingman Chevrolet Buick, 3730 stockton hill rd, kingman, AZ 86409, 928-757-4041) diagnosed that a part on the middle shaft deteriorated and caused the U joint to fail.

  • 35,000 miles
Eps electronic power steering message pops up when going from cold to hot temperatures or when raining and starts to warm up outside sometimes it will lock up under low speed turns in parking lots have had GM dealership look at it do the recall they say its something else that's causing it and I have to pay out of pocket to replace the power steering gear box estimate of $3,000 out of warranty and recall repair. Have had the issue from 35,000 miles to currently 115,000 GM will not replace gear box under recall because they say the recall is only an update and it should fix the problem but it doesn't so they will not help me. In the picture provided you can see a bolt from manufacturer of vehicle rubbing on the eps sensor which I just noticed today and appears to be like that on other 14 models I have looked at after discovering the issue.

Silverado 1500

  • 54,000 miles
At low speeds such as in parking lots, especially after reversing or turning the vehicle will occasionally experience the following issue: Display will say that stabilitrack is on, advise that power steering is reduced. The air conditioning, radio and other electric systems will then shut off. Power steering is cut off along with brake pressure. On multiple occasions the engine has also shut off requiring the vehicle to be put into park or neutral to restart the engine. If this occurred on the highway it would certainly cause a major incident.
