When driving steering wheel locks and stalls out in the middle of driving and turning and says steering loss please drive safe and it's dangerous I could crash

- Covina, CA, USA

While making a left turn into my driveway on a city street going approximately 10 mph, my steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left out of my hand, and the entire vehicle went dead (lost all power, lights, etc.). because the steering wheel locked, I was unable to turn fully into my driveway. As a result, the bed of the truck was sticking out into a major road and I was almost hit by cars coming around the curve by my driveway. It was dark and rainy. I called someone for help and we pushed the truck out of the roadway as best as possible, considering that the steering wheel was still locked. The truck would not restart. All power was gone. The only way I could think to move the truck was to jump start it with another vehicle. After jumpstarting the truck, the dash info system displayed, "action required: Open then close driver window." This is the 2nd time this happened after Chevy dealership performed recall 17276 "temporary loss of electrical power steering (eps) service (during low speed steering maneuvers). There is a tsb out alluding to this issue: #pit5405C: Steering jerks or kicks back / reduced power steering assist / engine stall, etc. (Jan 27, 2017). Why is there no recall"?" this is a major safety issue and could have been deadly!

The mylink and radio keeps going out eean after being replaced. The dashboard funcions act erratically with blinking and then resets the statistics. When the horn is konked the mylink and radio go dead. The dangerous part id the dash functions acting erratically. Hope it does not stall on my on the highway infront of a semit truck or something.

The radio randomly changes stations on its own and the touch screen doesnot work at random times. The front driver's and passenger's side windows go up and down automatically and cannot be stopped; when the window switch is depressed up or down, the window will make one complete cycle of opening and closing before stopping in the directed position. Both these actions occur randomly and unsuspectingly.

I filed a previous complaint, #11044339, but forgot to add something. I took my vehicle to the dealer on Sept. 22,2017 for the power steering recall, #17276. I don't know if this is related to the problem, but thought it might be some good information to divulge.

While on the highway a stabilitrack warning appeared on the dash stating it might affect power steering assist. This came on several times. Then with the cruise control on and signaling a lane change the cruise was cancelled. This also occurred several times. It also appeared that the dash lights flickered, but I wasn't sure because of the sunlight. Later that evening I was making a turn on a city street when the dash lights went completely out and I had no power steering. This lasted about 2 seconds before everything came back on. After that episode it hasn't happened since. After reading other similar complaints I am concerned it could happen again and could result in a crash. It seems that when the cruise was cancelled when signaling the lane change, that if I pushed up or down on the turn signal lever at the end of the lever it would cancel the cruise control. I tried pushing down on the lever closer to the steering column and that didn't cancel out the cruise control. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or it just wasn't malfunctioning at the time.

I have been noticing some serious electrical issues in the last few weeks with my 2014 Silverado 1500. It started with the "anti-theft detterent" system acting up and not allowing me to start the car. After flipping the key a few times, it went away. Then the problem progressed to when turning the key it was if the battery was dead. Everything would go black (lights, info center, dic, etc). After a few minutes of sitting, I could turn the key and it would start up no problems. Then it all just went away for about 2 weeks. Then just a few days ago, I was turning into a shopping center and the truck just died. The dash, the lights, the engine, everything. I nearly took out the entrance sign of the parking lot. Hanging with my back end in traffic I quickly popped it neutral, restarted the truck, and pulled in. I couldn't recreate the problem. I drove to autozone and had them check the battery and alternator. Everything was fine. About an hour later, in the drive thru at chick fil a, I placed the car in park, received my food, and as soon as I shifted out of park the truck died again, along with the dash and everything else. Restarted and drove home. I spent about 30 mins driving around the block and sitting in the driveway trying to recreate the problem. I have yet to recreate.

While driving my 2014 Chevy Silverado around 42000 miles I stopped at a light on a highway and lost all electrical power and the service steering assist came on dash. I was able to restart the truck and go. It happened multiple times. While driving it around a bend on a highway the truck shut off I lost all steering the steering locked up and I almost crashed, the service assist light came on again. This happened multiple times when turning. On 4-13-17 I brought the truck to a Chevy dealer it was was still under warranty. They could not reproduce the problem. 8-24-17 I brought the truck in for a recall #17276 for reprogramming the power steering assist control modular. After the recall the truck started doing it more often the same day but the steering did not lock up but the truck shut off when I tried making a turn on a highway. The service steering assist light came on again. On 9-7-17 I brought the truck back to the Chevy dealer ( Chevy dealer now changed its name from oasis to quality ) complaining that the recall did not work. They said that the recall was not for that. But I believe it is the same problem. They Chevy dealer drove the truck for 10 miles and it happened to them.they charged me for the time to trouble shoot the problem and found a loose ground wire #G218 under the dash causing the problem. I have driving the truck for 2 days now and it seems fine. The issue is that they made me pay for something they should have fixed the first time and I believe that this should have been part of recall # 17276, because I believe part of recall #17276 had to do with low voltage to the steering modular. A loose ground will give you low voltage. Any way this is very dangerous and I have read online of others having the same problem. Please make a recall about this loose ground wire that makes the truck shut off and lose steering before someone dies. Thank you

I experience sudden and power steering loss followed by a sudden and predictable return of power steering. The duration of the loss is variable. I received a recall notice for the issue and have had my local Chevrolet dealer perform what they deemed as the necessary work to fix the issue. They told me the truck was fixed and sent me on my way. The very next day the issue returned, sudden loss of power steering and sudden return of power steering. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer. This is a serious safety issue and the dealer does not appear to be taking this serious. Chevrolet needs to do more to correct this problem.
