  • 90,000 miles
The vehicle will be in motion and when I try to turn onto a street, or into a parking lot, a warning for service stabilitrak will come on, the steering wheel will lock up, the A/C will turn off, the lcd radio display will go blank, and my headlights will flicker and or turn off. Sometimes the truck shuts off. Has almost caused 2-3 accidents so far... also while traveling at highway speeds, if I have the cruise control on and I put on my turn signal it will turn off the cruise control, and flicker my radio lcd display, and also cause a service stabilitrak warning. Sometimes when I apply the brake, my headlights will flicker, or turn off. Clearly an electrical issue. When researching the problem online there appears to be a recall for other Silverado's with these same issues, but there isn't one currently under my VIN number, however it appears to be the same problem. This has been an ongoing problem and is getting worse. The problem first started around 88,000 miles

Long story short. This is a weekly issue that I no longer feel safe in this truck. Last year about 5/2020 I took it on a 6 hour-round trip drive. The highway is 70 miles per hour. About midway back home the truck jerked hard and shut off for a second and turned back on. While I was driving on the highway at 70mph! I pulled over to make sure everything was still "okay" to drive home for the next 2 hours. I am very lucky that, that did not result into a serious collision. I had a full truck of people including a child along with a 4X4 in the bed of the truck. This continues to be an on going issue with the "stabilitrack" alert always coming on every second. Another occasion I was pulling into a parking lot when half-way through the entrance way, the truck shut off, completely. None of the lights turned on, the truck would not turn on for a good 10 minutes. I was blocking the entrance and there was nothing I could do about it. Then just recently I notice that my lights, all lights flicker when I move the steering wheel or when I step on the break and gas pedals. If I drive it long enough all sound is off even though the volume is up. Then when I need to make any turn, any direction, the wheel becomes hard to turn to the point where I cannot move the steering wheel then it shuts off again. I have been lucky that I have not been in a serious collison due to this. I see a lot of complaints regarding the same issues I have. I have two small children and if this truck is the reason we get injured, I will be seeking legal action. I have taken it in to a local dealership with my concerns but the diagnostics never bring up an issue.

Happens 3-4 a week when driving: I turn turn signal on and headlights flicker truck feels like losses power, if making a U-turn steering wheel gets hard and truck feels like stalling out. On highway going 65mph stabilitrak light flashed twice and truck felt sluggish very brief. When exiting highway and turning onto city street at 30mph very briefly the truck lost power and steering was like stuck, almost caused accident, truck felt like it turned off and on and jolted forward very hard and went back to normal. When I pulled into a parking lot the stabilitrak light came back on and truck stalled briefly again while turning at 15mph, all dash lights came on and power steering lost, truck went back to normal on its own.

Vehicle was in motion with the steering wheel turned into position to maneuver a reverse park. Vehicle loses all power and unable to restart, but the lights flicker. G218 ground is possibly the cause. Nonetheless, this is a highly unsafe and dangerous manufacturer flaw. The following is a public resource I used to identify the possible cause.

Truck displays loss of power steering and shuts off everything electrical. When I'm driving at any speeds and turn steering way to fast to either side I'll get message stability trak turned off and followed by radio losing power. Sometimes truck shuts off completely and sometimes truck just acts like it wants to shut off but remains on. There's times where I'll get the message for driver window to roll up and down and windows lose power. I've taken truck to dealership several of times just to lose out on money every time because they haven't fixed the problem and just keep charging.

Driving down hill at 25 mph and all of a sudden I lost control of my power steering. Fortunately I was able to stop just before hitting an embankment. The repair requires a complete electrical assist component. Quote of $1,750 on August 2017 I received a recall for the eps assist. The software was completed by kendall Chevy in August of that year.

This problem was a recall and was repaired before at no cost. Now it is happening again. I took a 100 mile round trip day trip...on the way back I got a steering warning that flashed 2 times on my dashboard while going 75 mph on the highway. Then when turning into my subdivision the truck stalled and I lost all power steering. This happened one other time in a home depot parking lot. I feel the truck is unsafe to drive. And I haul a 36 foot travel trailer occasionally. Obviously this is the second time the same thing has happened...the first time it was a free recall repair...please advise on how to proceed. I plan to trade the truck in asap due to the fact that my husband and I are up in age and no longer able to travel.

At low speeds especially when turning, a sudden loss of steering control happens. It becomes really hard to turn the vehicle. Then a few different messages pop up "stabilitrak" and "parking assist is of" and sometimes the truck completely turns off while I'm driving and no matter where I am I have to put it in park and turn the truck back on. This has happened to me about 7 times in the last two weeks.

Silverado 1500

  • 94,635 miles
After traveling 50 highway miles, when I was making a slow left hand turn onto a residential street, my vehicle lost power steering, lost power brakes, lost onstar, and the engine shut off. I proceeded to turn manually and stop ending up in the opposite lane. If a car was in the lane it would have been an accident. After some time, the vehicle restarted and I had no problems for now 8 days. While travelling at speed, stabilitrak warning intermittently came on a few times and steering felt loose at times when changing lanes. Vehicle was part of the 17276 safety recall on 8/10/2017. This problem has occurred multiple times since 2018 and has been in the dealership 3 times for this problem: Once for 17272 in 2017, once clearing codes-paid over $ 100 for a diagnostic analysis they cleared codes, no repair 9/30/2019, once cannot repeat 9/03/2020, and once upgrading software 1/7/2020. Short time stabilitrak warnings ABS warning and notice to raise driver's side window up and down came on multiples times. Clearly GM chev has not solved this software logic problem and cannot fix a clear significant safety issue.

Multiple times moving at slow speeds the vehicle shuts off and all kinds of warnings pop up. Service power steering, service stabilitrak, service trailer brake controller, check engine light ect. When the vehicle does this it loses all power and the steering wheel violently jerks itself to one side. You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Silverado 2014 crew cab 5.3 with 79500 miles
