I bought the truck brand new in March of 2016. At just over 2 years and 40,000 miles, the electric power steering system started failing intermittently while driving the vehicle, seizing control of the steering. It happened while stopped, then it happened when turning on a city street. Extremely dangerous and should not happen on a new vehicle. Chevy is refusing to do anything about it even though this was a known issue and recall on the '14 & '15 model years.

It has also gone off about 4 times back-to-back while at slow speeds on an on ramp. The main display has also been randomly shutting off (screen goes black) without warning or obvious reason.

Vehicle intermittently loses all electrical controls: Power steering, engine power, stabilitrak, airbags. All electrical systems are compromised and the vehicle loses all power. Once the vehicle is turned off and back on a few times it will go into a 'limp mode'. I've been stranded in the vehicle 4 times. I have had this happen twice while driving down the freeway, once driving in a parking lot, and twice when first starting the vehicle. During one incident on the freeway I was in the center lane and lost all engine power, airbags, safety controls, and power steering. I was able to coast and make my way over to the shoulder. GM and the dealership have been unable to resolve the issue and are now refusing to honor the warranty, replace the vehicle, or refund the purchase. This has been a serious safety issue. I've had my wife and two small children in the vehicle when it has died on the freeway. Not only is it a significant danger to myself and my family, but any other vehicles in close proximity. As such I have refused to drive the vehicle any longer, but GM seems intent on ignoring this.

When attempting to turn left at an intersection the steering wheel stopped turning at about the 10 O'clock position, jerked hard to the right out of my hands. I braked and tried to turn again, the steering did this repeatly for five attempts. I turned the ignition off, waited about 10 seconds then restarted the truck. The steering then worked normally. My wife and I have experienced this type of episode 5 times between us. This truck does have the lane monitoring system and I have experienced the gentle tug of the steering wheel and vibration in the seat. This is not like that. This is an intermittent complete loss of steering control. This has happened at very low speed when making a left turn from a stopped position and it has happened at very low continuous speed such as entering a driveway. It has never happened when turning right. Sometimes it corrects itself, sometime you have to turn off the ignition and reboot it. I have given it to the dealer for evaluation. Their initial reaction was that they don't know what the problem is. Fortunately no damage to ourselves or others, but the potential is there. That is why I felt I should report this.

I have a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado. Once you get to 70-80 miles per hour it shakes pretty bad. I noticed others have experienced same things. They even named it the "Chevy shake". I just wanted to file a complaint so it could be added to the list of others

Ongoing safety issue...vehicle looses power, steering, braking, all other devices inactive, driving safety of occupants and others relevant when driver has no control due to defect. Chevy mechanics believe might be steering system such as ignition and locking elements, due to grinding noise before vehicle looses power and other parts lock up, Chevy techs thought might be race and pinion, might be electrical, might be whatever, they are unable to conclusively determine this critical safety defect in truck. Chevy techs have commented they are skeptical about letting anyone drive until resolved. Investment hugh with loss of use and finding other transportation. Why own it. GM needs to reimburse cost and replace. This is a significant liability. All aspects of non functioning parts don't generate error codes, and this incident has reoccurred over eight times in five days. This requires action by GM, where is it. Loaner vehicle not sufficient replacement for investment. Safety issue commenced on March 16, towed multiple times, been to two dealers, initial more than 200 miles from home, and current dealer where purchased with 25 miles of home.

Upon accelerating after traffic light, power fails, steering locks following grinding clanking sound in steering column. Also occurs same symptoms in attempt to move gear shift to park position. More frequent doing this procedure. Key moves by itself to originally input position in process of locking steering. This defect occurred eight times within five days, requiring towing, and being stranded. Vehicle delivered by tow service to nearest Chevy dealer on first few failures, vehicle returned to original dealer 230 miles away near owners home at cost of owner. Original dealer believes defect is potentially lignition locking system, attempting to verify at this period. This major safety issue of loosing power and systems locking up jeopardize occupants and others lives.again occurrences were at very low speed or in motion of parking.

While in motion in city at intersection, stopped for light, proceeded forward but steering locked, brakes, and ignition switch inactive, a grinding clicking noise heard just as began accelerating before safety failure. Truck towed to a dealer, unable to determine cause, released truck, problem occurred again in three days causing vehicle to be towed again. Mechanic unsure, no errors codes, however sounded similar to early recall by GM for ignition switch torque problems, but noise could be per mechanic something in rack and pinion or rotary vene pump. Dealer not committing and suggest to drive. Safety for lives is concern in this matter with lack of electrical, steering, brakes, and ignition control by driver.

Steering stiff in cold and never gets better after vehicle warms up. Anytime below 5 degrees F. I have had it in and they have replaced the whole electronic steering system with no help to the issue. I have read other forums where others are having the same issue. At slow speeds requires two hands to turn vehicle. Very dangerous if in a panic situation. Dealer said there is nothing else they can do. I live in mn and have had other GM pickups (1999,2010,2013) with no such issues in the cold weather.
