Silverado 1500

  • 42,000 miles
During a turn to a side street the vehicle shut off. All steering and brakes were inoperable. There was an engine malfunction light and a message about there being 2 identical keys for the truck then anti theft flashed. While stopped in the intersection blocking traffic, a message directed to roll down the drivers window then back up. When that was done, electrical came back on and steering was restored. The vehicle was started and is now unsafe for use. The control for being on or off is unreliable and therefore unsafe to use as a Transport. 42000 miles on the 2014 high country Silverado. No steering. No brakes...that makes it unsafe. Would you put your family in this vehicle and ask them to drive safely" how do you justify giving total control to volatile software? how about at 75 mph and it fails" just know it can happen would have ensured I considered another purchase. I believe that information alone will justify someone else's marketing data.

Silverado 1500

  • 36,100 miles
When coming down the street to turn in my driveway the service power steering warning appeared on my dash at about 25 mph. It was tough to turn in but it appeared to be working some. Turned off when stopped and restarted, and had no steering ability other than slight turn. Called dealer who brought it in and said that recall campaign was underway and that they would see if that would fix it. They called me next day to tell me I needed an entire steering system that would cost in excess of $1,900 with taxes, plus I would require an alignment. I looked up to see if there were any recalls or service bulletins that might help fix this issue. Dealer offered a slight discount for loyalty and told me to call Chevrolet for further financial assistance as I balked at the cost for a relatively new truck. (purchased January 2015 I did and they assigned a case number almost 1 week ago. I have made several calls to the dealer and Chevrolet and they have not made any attempts to resolve the issue.

Silverado 1500

  • 19,000 miles
Turned a corner while braking, the engine died, "service stabilitrac soon" illuminated on the instrument panel; driving down the road pulling a light weight boat trailer, the engine died but came back on immediately and the "service stabilitrac" illuminated; pulled into a parking lot and as I turned about halfway through the turn the engine died and "service stabilitrac soon" illuminated. I took to the truck to the Chevrolet dealer and they diagnosed the positive battery terminal was loose and the positive cable had too much resistance - $507 later and approximately 10,000 miles later reared it's ugly head again. Coming back from a morning drive to the lake and the 'service stabilitrac' light illuminated but the truck didn't die, a little further down the road it did the same thing and died but started right back up on its own while driving, started to back into my driveway and it died in the middle of the road, turned the ignition off and attempted to start it two or three more times, nothing!!! it's like there was no battery installed. Every time this happens I lose steering, the brakes seem to fade but I am able to stop on the slow turns like into the parking lot. In all instances the vehicle was moving. One time I noticed an increase in the A/C speed within the cab and the 'service stabilitrac' illuminated but as soon as I turned about half way into a parking area, it died, but continued to pick back up on the engine running. The local dealer had also perfomed some service bulletin regarding the campaign for 'loss of steering assist' at 19,340 miles. The vehicle currently has 42,000 miles..... the date "when did this happen" was today 7/16/2019 but the other times were various before this date.

Silverado 1500

  • 80,000 miles
While engaging slow idle speed turns, my 2014 Silverado will occasionally completely lose all power steering and the engine will shut off completely. I have also had the same issue occur while driving straight and applying the brake or rolling up windows. During these terrifying situations, a message comes across the dash saying one or all of the following "electronic power steering reduced. Drive with caution" "stabilitrack" "trailer brakes". this issue seems to be very sporadic and unpredictable. I looked up possible solutions and had a mechanic fix a poor grounding connection under the dash which they thought could be the cause but did not resolve the problem. Please help!

Silverado 1500

  • 80,000 miles
While parked in a parking lot, the vehicle would not start. The truck mad a clicking sound and all lights lit up on dashboard, but no concise error message. Truck then started, but lost power when I put it into reverse with all lights coming on again. Turned off ignition and then the truck started. Drove the truck 2 miles to my home and when pulling into my driveway, the truck lost total power and nearly caused me to crash in to a parked vehicle. I was able to avoid the collision and I turned the key off in the ignition. I waited a minute and the truck started without issue. The next morning, the truck had the same issue starting - clicking sound but would not start. It finally started and I took it to my local shop to get a diagnosis. They could not find the issue. The next day, the same clicking noise occurred and it wouldn't start after multiple attempts. I called aaa to have my vehicle towed to the shop. When aaa came, the mechanic was able to start the vehicle. I then drove it to the repair shop for another diagnosis. They could not pinpoint the issue and recommended that I take the truck to the nearby Chevrolet dealership, which I did. They had it for 2 days and could not find an issue - drove, tested, diagnosed multiple times to no avail. Truck also did not show any signs of power loss, etc. Today, for the fifth time in the last 8 days, there was an issue. Truck started normally, drove approx. 2 miles and parked. When attempting to start, the same problem occurred - clicking sound, lights lighting up on the dash board and this time, a stabiltrak error came on and off. Truck then started after 3 attempts so I drove it home. Went to restart and the clicking sound with lights on the dash lit up again. The power loss while driving has occurred 3 times in the past, but the vehicle started up with no other issues. Had this truck for 4 years with no issues until now.

Silverado 1500

  • 82,135 miles
While driving my truck, the power steering failed, and a service power steering warning came on the dash. I called my local dealership, and they said they couldn't get me in to look at the truck until Friday (3 days). I called Chevy customer service and they said there is no recall, but I found a recall 17276 that covers this exact issue. The power steering kicked back on and almost caused a head on collision as the truck swirved when the system reengaged.
