About 1 week ago I took my vehicle in for service for an unrelated issue. While it was there, they performed the power steering safety recall. After going to town on February 24th I started my truck to return home and the dic showed a message which said, 'service power steering, drive with care.' I now have no power steering and it is extremely dangerous to operate the vehicle.

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.

When driving truck and turning the steering gets hard and takes a few seconds to control it again. Also when I turn left or right driving slow the power steering gets hard and causes stereo screen to turn off for a few seconds, and causes headlights to dim. Also the interior lights and dash lights dim. It's very unsafe when turning, can almost lose complete control for steering jerking. Not only does this happen when vehicle is in motion but also when truck is stationary.

: 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.

Stabilitrak light kicks on and off, steering wheel locks up and shudders when turning at low speeds, headlights and dashlights blink like the trucks about to lose power. Searching online it looks like there is a device bulletin that fixes these issues, but I shouldnt have to pay for a safety and common issue with this truck. Pit5405A is the bulletin number.

Headlights flicker, radio head unit flickers, error messages (service stablitrak, traction control off, reduced steering assist) doors occasionally will lock and unlock and then truck will shut off all together. Steering wheel randomly jerk out of your hands. Somebody will end up dead if this issue is not fixed, and recalled. Very common through my research in 2014 Silverado/Sierra's.

Life threathing steering issue: 2014 Silverado while driving and with no warning the steering wheel jerks violently and the vehicle becomes uncontrollable, even with the strongest grip of the steering wheel. This usually occurs during turning at the most inopportune time. The stabilitrak light comes on only after the issue arises thus no warning before this happens. I have documented this occurring by video and other 2014 Silverado owners have also. Check out youtube and see for yourself, search: 2014 Silverado stabilitrak problems. I find it unbelievable NHTSA has not forced GM to do something, the drivers of this vehicle (and similar GM products with the same reported issue) and other motorist face severe injury or death. GM is aware of this issue and attributes it to many components: Ground cables, batteries, grounding lugs, BCM, electrical system low voltage.....on and on. Again check out the GM-trucks.com website and confirm from other owners postings. I've repaired / replaced the: Battery, cut the material out from under the G218 grounding lug, new battery cables, there is even a tsb pit5405A, all to no avail. There is no exact solution that I or the GM repair shops (so I've been told by my local dealer) can definitively put an answer to, so the poor consumer is left with a life threatening issue forced to get rid of the vehicle and never trust your life being in one or being on the road around one of them. NHTSA please make GM take responsibility and remedy this issue!!!!!!!

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.

I started my truck and while in a parked position the dashboard displays a message regarding power-steering has been reduced, please drive with caution. I googled it and notice that my particular model has a known issue and re-called. I called Chevrolet customer service and they said since my VIN # has no open recalls, they couldn't assist and that I have the option to take it to a service shop and pay out of pocket to fix. It is frustrating that with all the information online I couldn't get any help on this matter.
