I know this is a well known issue with these trucks. Have had issues with power steering not working at low speeds which they claim it-??s do to low voltage. This has happened numerous times and then on May 3rd I went to back into my driveway off a busy state route with hills on each end of the road. Put my hazard lights on let three vehicles pass and then I turned the wheel and gave it gas soon as the truck got into the middle of the road it shut off. Everything stopped working no hazard lights for about 10seconds and then I had to put the truck into park turn ignition key off and then back on to restart the truck. Again this is all do to low voltage from what everyone else has said with the same issue. There are no warnings what so every even the voltage meter is fine and the truck doesn-??t hesitate at all it-??s like someone disconnected the battery. I-??m sure there is a way for GM to reprogram the pc for the voltage drop. At least have something like radio go out or ac, heat other than the engine and entire electrical shutting off. Something like this is going to get someone killed and GM should be held accountable for these problems.

At slow speeds, multiple times, I have had the truck completely have an electrical failure and the engine shut off. I have replaced the negative battery cable and ensured all connections are good. This has happened on streets when turning and in parking lots. When this happens all of the screens in the truck flicker and the service stabilitrack light comes on and then everything goes out, to include the engine. Myself, my family, and other drivers have been out at risk when the truck completely shuts off on a street. The dealership has not been able to give me an answer. There are many forums online where the 2014-2018 year models of this and similar GM vehicles have had the same problem. We need a specific fix for this before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V246000 Q1- my steering column is faulty and it is on the verge of collapse. Q2- every time I hit a pot hole my truck loses control for a second and it has gotten progressively worse. The car sways from left to right without me moving the steering wheel. Q3- I-??ve been having suspension problems that have become worse and worse after being told I-??m having suspension problems. I fix what I am suggested too and the problems have worsened. Q4 yes it has been inspected and the issue has been overlooked. Q5 if I try to drive the truck again it will fail, I changed my rotors at the beginning of last month and the two front side rotors have been warped and replaced as of Saturday. I drove my truck just fine until tonight I began losing control of it two times. My brakes are beginning to fail. My brand new rotors have been ruined in less than two days. That-??s 4 new rotors in a month. When I arrived at home I opened the hood and applied a very small amount of pressure on the steering columns shaft and it had a lot of play. I added a little more pressure and it moves a lot it felt like I could-??ve taken it apart with my hands if I really tried. I-??m pretty sure I shouldn-??t be able to move the steering column shaft with only my hands if the truck is off.

The truck started making a grinding noise when turning steering wheel left and right. I took the truck to local GM dealer/mechanic for inspection. It was diagnosed as a failing steering rack and recommended replacing the steering rack. A failed steering rack can cause partial or complete loss of steering and potential vehicle accident. As of this time, GMC cannot provide a replacement steering rack and there is no estimated availability timeline.

At low speeds my power steering will cut out. Today I almost hit a guy at a gas station when my steering went dead and got stiff for a second then came back. After some research I see over a million trucks were recalled for this.
