Silverado 1500

  • 10 miles
Loss of power to vehicle when making turns at low speeds on city roads, in parking lots, and on and off highways, you have to place vehicle in park and turn back on. Steering assist and stabilitrak has been becoming disabled on a regular basis along with the steering wheel being jerked out of my hands while making turns on city streets, in parking lots, and on and off the highway. Service stabilitrak and steering assist messages are displayed during these time however do not leave a check engine light no to be scanned. GM dealer states they are not able to duplicate the issue and are not able to fix it. This is a safety concern for me and other drivers on the road.

Silverado 1500

Sometimes when I hold down on the brake pedal some electrical issue happenes and my steering wheel gets very hard my ac turns off my whole dashboard turns off and so does my radio then after about 10 seconds it turns back on. I also noticed that when I'm rolling up the windows my headlights dim. I think somethings wrong with the electrical system of the vehicle I had the battery checked once and it was not the voltage it needed I replaced it with the battery from the dealership it was well for about three months and the issue reoccurred. When I am reversing my steering wheel gets very hard as I'm pressing on the pedal while I'm parking it doesn't do it all the time but it does do it frequently.

In motion and at low speed, the vehicle stalls out when idling into a tight turn, like a parking lot or space. it hasn't always cut totally off. Usually the 'stability trac' light comes on with the failure, but some times it just cuts off, and when I crank it restarts right up.

Twice now while driving in a parking lot and also on a street making a turn, the electrical flashed, turned off and then the truck died, locking the power steering and power brakes. Dealer service department has twoce said battery, but based on so many others with the same issue on many cehvy forums, this is an electrical issue and needs a recall. Extremely dangerous!

Stabilitrek flashes and then vehicles steering locks up and the truck dies. Usually it's when I'm going slow and usually it's when I'm turning. This is happening now in August of 2020 but also happened a few years ago and then there was a recall. It's very dangerous. No warning and the truck dies very unexpectedly. Please fix this problem I see others are complaining too

Silverado 1500

  • 72,000 miles
I am having issues with my 2914 Silverado losing power steering and turning off when I place the car in reverse to back into a parking spot. The truck has also cut off randomly when turning the steering wheel in a parking lot. The issue is not constant thus hard to diagnose. I have taken the truck to Chevy twice and the mechanics were not able to recreate the issue.

problem #217

Jul 262020

Silverado 1500

  • 60,205 miles
I was slowing down to make a right turn, I didn't have to come to a complete stop but when the vehicle got below 15mph or so. The steering locked up. And it acted like I had turned the vehicle off. All of the lights went off, inside and out. And the vehicle died. Luckily it didn't cause an accident and it did start up and I was able to get it home but since then the lights flicker and the touch screen radio goes black and won't do anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. and the steering feels like one minute you have power steering and the next you don't now.

When I am turning, my vehicle loses power and or dies. If my emergency lights are on it causes my ac to turn so low it almost doesn't work and other electrical problems. I was almost hit in an intersection because my vehicle died due to loss of power when I was turning.

problem #213

Jul 032020

Silverado 1500

  • 53,300 miles
It started with the truck losing power when making slow speed turns into driveway/parking spot which includes loss of power steering which has caused me to almost crash several times. The power used to come back up but now it is resulting in the truck just turning itself off mid turn and not just on slow turns. It happened when I was making a turn onto a street and I was forced to muscle the truck off the side of the road- no power at all so no power steering-going about 10-15 mph. When driving with cruise control on if you use the turn signal it kicks off the cruise control. The ac will just stop and the truck will just shut off. The whole time all/any of this is happening my dash is telling me stability control is off, steering assist of off drive with care....if the dash has any power that is. The trailer brake system flashes like I am using the brakes when I am sitting in the truck door open, key out. I have unplugged that thinking it was the problem but it didn't change anything. At times it is completely random that all power almost bottoms out and comes back moments later. There is definitely something wrong and as see I am not the only one having these same issues...should investigate and offer recall and get these trucks fixed before someone does crash. My truck only has 53,300 miles on it and it has a new battery and we have checked the alternator. The date below would be when I almost crashed turning the corner and truck died.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while having a routine oil change the contact informed the mechanic that there was an ac failure due to it letting out hot air instead of cool air. The contact was informed that the vehicle's condenser detached. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (Mercedes-Benz of caldwell address: 1220 bloomfield ave, West caldwell, NJ 07006; phone: (973) 227-3600) from the well joint causing a leak with the vehicle. The vehicle's condenser needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case regarding the issue. The contact was then referred to NHTSA to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 57,657.

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 240,000 miles
It started out as the truck losing all power when entering the truck. No power to the dash or ignition. Then power would return out of nowhere. Lately the truck will lose all power while the truck is running sitting still and moving down the highway. Engine will stay running but no dash no A/C and when the dash returns stabitrac notification is on the screen. Today the truck did this 11 times in 1 hour and even lost steering control while driving down a large highway. While on the side of the highway with the hazards on the dash, controls and A/C intermittently flicked for a full 2 minutes
