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.

Took my truck in Oct. 2016 to have it repaired for steering wheel shuddering and having to fight it on turns. And the truck just shutting down. Told it was an electrical problem. Well 9 months later doing the same thing. After the Chevrolet dealer supposedly fixed it. I think it is a problem when you lose control of steering and your truck just stops on turns. My truck was in motion on a city street.

Please see attached documents on how to fix the recall associated with GM recall #: N172085440. I have attached an electrical schematic showing the location of the G218 ground which is causing the electrical issues associated with this recall. I also attached a ground location view showing the location of the G218 ground stud inside the truck. When the truck came straight from the manufacturer, this G218 ground stud was surrounded by sound deadening material which is causing the short in the electrical system and causing steering issues.

This problem has happened several different times. The first time was in May 2017. As I was driving home, I kept getting a "service stabilitrac" message. About 2 minutes after the last message I was slowing down to turn and my truck completely lost all power. It went completely dark. The steering wheel ripped out of my hands and I nearly crashed head on into oncoming traffic. With all my strength I turned the wheel enough to avoid a head on collision. After I coasted to a stop, I turned the key off, then restarted it and drove home. I took it to a dealer and they told me they couldn't find a problem. For the last 3 months it hasn't happened again until yesterday. All kinds of electrical problems. Losing power, stabilitrac messages, diminished steering, loss of power brakes. I pulled into my driveway yesterday and lost all power, my door locks went up and down like three times, ac surges, radio went on and off a few times. I looked up the problem online and found that this isame problem is happening to a lot of 2014 1500 Silverado. This should definitely be a recall issue. Total loss of power while driving. Someone is going to die from this issue. Today when I was driving home I was going about 30 mph in traffic and my truck lost all power again, total blackout of all electronics, no steering or brakes, but thankfully all systems turned back on in a matter of seconds and I made it home. After looking online, it seems that someone has located the source. It is a fault at the "G218" ground point which is located under the front left dash speaker. (see youtube video, search 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 stabilitrac problem). Seriously, how is this not a recall, total loss of power while driving.
