Silverado 1500

  • 72,950 miles
On 4/2/2019 while traveling at 45 mph, slowed to make left turn. While midway through intersection, engine died, dash lights went out, power steering and brakes gone. Within seconds everything powered back up and engine resumed as if nothing happened. Warning indicators words flashed briefly. I caught "stabilitrack". I drove for another mile and as I was entering driveway about 5 mph and while driving straight, engine and dash lights went off again and restarted again. Prior to all this headlights were flickering and there was a little deadening in the power steering. Truck had 72,950 miles. I checked the grounding points and cleared out the deadening material that slightly impeded it. Not sure this will help. This is actually the second time this has happened. On 6/22/18 at 64,888 miles, I had a similar problem. At that time took it in to shop. They tightened the grounding bolts (G218) and cleaned the battery terminals. I guess it helped until recently. It cost $180.

Vehicle has several electrical issues. First, power steering fails at low speed turns. Then, the car occasionally loses all electrical power (screens, gauges, lights, starter, garage door opener) while parked and off. Then last week, it lost all electrical power at 70+ mph on the highway. Lost power steering, all screens turned off, gauges when to zero, etc. This lasted for about 3 seconds and then everything came back on. Many warning lights including power steering, traction control, parking assist disabled. This also gave a 4WD service warning. Now, I get the service 4WD warning every time I start the vehicle and it will not go into 4 wd.

  • 64,000 miles
Cruise control will shut off when using turning signal or rolling up windows. It is very dangerous in busy interstate traffic. Service stabli track and steering assist reduced will come up on display. Power steering is intermittent when turning. Headlights flicker when turning signals are used. Truck will completely shut down for a split second while driving then everything comes back on, complete loss of control when this happens. When knob for headlights is turned from auto to on position the dash and instrument panel gets dim and stabli track and reduced steering assist message comes on. Rear passenger door will not lock using fob, sometimes I will have to hit the unlock button multiple times before door will unlock after lock has been manually pushed down. Passenger seat belt ding is also intermittent, sometimes it will not work at all. My truck just now started having all of these issues at the exact same time. We drove from Texas to Kentucky and back to Texas and these issues all started during this trip. It is not safe for my family, I have always bought Chevrolet and currently own this truck and a Tahoe but they may be my last. All bulbs are good, all fuses and relays are good. Truck now has 66000 miles on it. Battery was replaced around 59000 miles. Seems to be a wiring or ECM (computer) issue to me. I see many complaints similar to mine but yet no recalls have been issued for my VIN number.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the steering icon flashed and a lock indicator displayed. Also, the brake light flashed and various unknown warning indicators flickered on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the steering seized when the steering wheel was turned to the left. In addition, the brakes failed to function properly and excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Team lake road auto sales (13988 conneaut lake rd, conneaut lake, pa 16316, (814) 382-9336) was notified of the failures and kept the vehicle for over three weeks. A loaner vehicle was provided. The contact had not received any specific technical guidelines regarding diagnosis and repairs. The dealer released the vehicle back to the owner and the failures recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and a second loaner vehicle was provided; however, the vehicle was returned without being repaired. The dealer indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced before it was purchased per NHTSA campaign number: 17V414000 (steering). The contact informed the dealer several times that the remedy failed, but did not receive any recourse. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: PE18012 (service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). The manufacturer had not issued any brake system recalls for this year, make, and model vehicle and the VIN was not included in the four electrical system recalls and two steering recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. The failure mileage was not available.

: the power steering system temporarily fail without warning during operation, causing the amount of effort needed to turn the wheel to fluctuate dramatically during the maneuver as the power steering system cycles on and off. The issue is especially prevalent during low-speed maneuvers and can be accompanied by the failure of other systems such as the radio, stability control, door-lock cycling, air condition or cruise control. This happens randomly, when I'm parking or making a turn. I almost crashed into a vehicle in mid turn as I lost power steering and the vehicle shut off. I put it in park and restarted the truck.

Silverado 1500

  • 64,400 miles
My truck has lost power 3 times while driving. Fortunately no accidents have happened as a result, but I no longer feel safe in the vehicle. First occurrence, I was in motion backing into my driveway. Second occurrence, I was leaving my neighborhood and turning right when I lost all power and drifted into traffic. Third occurrence, I was turning right into my neighborhood and ended up on my neighbors front lawn. I took it to a local Chevrolet dealership for repairs, and the problem persists. They made 3 attempts at fixing, I paid each time, and nothing has been repaired.

Takata recall - 2014 Chevy Silverado ltz about 6 months ago now, I have been having this problem and now I have had enough! when turning on a low speed the steering wheel locks and seems to bounce back. I don't know what causes this. It use to happen maybe 1-2 times every month while parking in my drive way. Use to be always in my driveway only. And now that thanksgiving passed and I was doing some shopping with my kids; from 11/22/18-now 11/25/18, it has locked on me about 15 times! once turning left on a green light on a busy city street, it locked and wouldn't turn was going straight with my kids inside and my wife driving! another time parking at store parking lots with cars in front and behind me! and just now 7:26 P.M. it locked 5 times while parking! I took it to get it checked out back in August I believe and all they told me was nothing is wrong. I can not keep driving this or having my wife drive my kids and risk loosing them! you need to fix this now! please! I believe there is a recall going arround; I believe the recall number is 17V414000 a lot of what it says sounds exactly what happens to my truck.

My headlights are flickering. When steering, headlights dim. When using turn signals, headlights dim. Power steering randomly cuts out in parking lots. Trailer brake service warning came up on instrument screen. I read ground G218 is causing a short and I removed the insulation under the nut that could cause high resistance and it fixed everything for about 3 weeks but the lights and steering problem is still happening. Dealer thought maybe trailer brake control system but I did not have them replace, instead found G218 issues online. No open recalls. Sounds similar to other complaints. No codes. No issue with battery or alternator.

At start up the radio and info screen on dash between the RPM and speedometer was reset as if the negative battery cable was removed and replaced. The power steering died out later on a turn onto my block and was on and off as it jerked out of my hands while parallel parking. Start up the next day and the reset was back with the wheel free to turn for now. I haven't moved the truck for fear of the steering going out again. Truck has 44,450 miles.

The vehicle was driving around a curve at approximately 45 mph when the steering locked. The driver is unclear if the breaks worked or not, but he ended up stepping on the gas pedal accidentally. He hit a tree head on and totaled the truck. He noticed the audio system lost the signal from his iphone and began playing the local radio station at the same time. The iphone was connected via an auxiliary cord. The driver is familiar with a loss of power steering and is quite sure the steering locked and was unable to be moved even with considerable effort. The driver was taken to a hospital by ambulance and is lucky to have only minor injuries. Prior to this, recall #17276 was completed on the truck, but after that it did have an electrical incident where all electrical components went haywire, blinking & beeping & turning on & off, then everything went dead, including the steering. The truck was towed to the dealership who replaced the battery & found no other problems. We kept the battery they replaced, had it tested & it was found to be fine. The dealership refunded the cost of the new battery, but offered no solution to the electrical problem.

Truck dies in the middle of the intersection nearly causing an injury. Driver has to get out of the truck in said busy intersection to try to figure out the problem, because truck would not turn on. This is not a battery issue. Research has proven hundreds of other people are having these same issues with this particular truck.truck dies several times a day while turning or pulling into a driveway or parking spot. Electricity glitches when driving down the road if a bump is hit or if the brakes are pressed mildly hard. As for the date below, it happens literally every day. The cause for complaint is the truck died in the middle of a busy intersection nearly causing an accident.
