My 2014 chevy silverado, it's elecktronicks debility control system comes on inadvertently, causing my vehicle to lose control. my track she control light comes on, steering becomes difficult, breaks stop working, i have gone off the side of the highway twice in the past 3 weeks. i have taken my vehicle to chevron way at least 5 times for this issue with no resolution. now my vehicle as a 101000 miles and they will not look at it again with out money. this is the most dangerous vehicle i have ever driven, and general motors will not help me at all. chevrolet will not honor this is you and would rather me crash my vehicle, then help me resolve it. stay away from general motors they are not putting out good products at this time period
Had an issue with the eps cutting out after the truck was cranked and the wheel was turned immediately to one side. took the truck in to deal with the recall out on the vehicle which dealt with eps cutting out. a week later, while turning into a parking lot the eps cut out yet again (this time while moving) and straightened the steering wheel back up. luckily, there was nothing that i could hit because i lost all control of the steering. i contacted gm and they said there was nothing that they could do. someone could hurt due to this issue. when this issue occurs the service power steering box pops up in the dash.
My trucks traction control will come on when getting on or off onramps, turns in the mountains, around town, everywhere. it is very scary, the truck will show the traction control light and begin to lose power and become hard to steer. i went off the freeway yesterday with my whole family in the truck,. i was on the freeway taking a ramp to another freeway and the light came on, the truck lost power, the steering became hard to turn and i could not make the freeway exchange and went off the highway. i have taken it to chevrolet 2 times and they said that they were either unable to recreate the situation, or that they don't know what the problem is. my next door neighbor has the very same truck, year, make and model with the same issue. this truck is a deathtrap. this has been going on for 2 years with no resolution. i will never buy another vehicle from chevy, because they do not care if we got killed or not, or they would have kept working to figure out the problem.
While operating vehicle at low speed and turning, the steering wheel turns back the other direction repeatedly. when using turn signals the dash and headlights flicker as well as when i press the break pedal sometimes causing the vehicle to turn off!
Traveling at all speeds the stabilitytrak will turn off when hitting the brakes. simultaneously, the truck will lose quickly lose power and then it comes back on. i have taken the truck to get fixed multiple times at a chevy dealership and each time they come up with something new that could be the problem. i have called and make 2 complaint to gm/chevy ([xxx]and [xxx]) both times the manufacturer have done nothing for me. i did the recall back in 2017 for this problem and that did not work. i have had grounding wire work done, a new battery put in, a new engine fuse block with wiring harness, and recently a new steering column. nothing has worked. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Turned a corner while braking, the engine died, "service stabilitrac soon" illuminated on the instrument panel; driving down the road pulling a light weight boat trailer, the engine died but came back on immediately and the "service stabilitrac" illuminated; pulled into a parking lot and as i turned about halfway through the turn the engine died and "service stabilitrac soon" illuminated. i took to the truck to the chevrolet dealer and they diagnosed the positive battery terminal was loose and the positive cable had too much resistance - $507.00 later and approximately 10,000 miles later reared it's ugly head again. coming back from a morning drive to the lake and the 'service stabilitrac' light illuminated but the truck didn't die, a little further down the road it did the same thing and died but started right back up on its own while driving, started to back into my driveway and it died in the middle of the road, turned the ignition off and attempted to start it two or three more times, nothing!!! it's like there was no battery installed. every time this happens i lose steering, the brakes seem to fade but i am able to stop on the slow turns like into the parking lot. in all instances the vehicle was moving. one time i noticed an increase in the a/c speed within the cab and the 'service stabilitrac' illuminated but as soon as i turned about half way into a parking area, it died, but continued to pick back up on the engine running. the local dealer had also perfomed some service bulletin regarding the campaign for 'loss of steering assist' at 19,340 miles. the vehicle currently has 42,000 miles..... the date "when did this happen" was today 7/16/2019 but the other times were various before this date.
When warm voltage drops, warning lights go off such as stability & trailer brake. lost steering & drove into my yard. have had it looked at four times with no resolution. they can not find anything wrong.
Experienced loss of steering and traction at low rpm after being stopped resulting in a near collision with a cement divider. steering and traction control did return after a brief moment. this was the first episode of this happening with this truck.
After 1 hour of driving and stopping at a intersection truck decided to shut down at the intersection causing me to almost be involved in a accident since i was dead in the middle of intersection without warning or reason i had just accelerated through light when truck shut down
My 2014 chevy silverado suffers from the same loss of power steering issue gm just issued a recall for in sept. of 2018 for the 2015 model of the silverado. when attempting to park or performing low speed turns the power steering with fail making it incredibly difficult to safely control the vehicle. when on the highway using cruise control, the cruise control had failed without warning and the steering locks up for a moment when this happens. this is a serious safety issue affecting more vehicles than just the 2015 models, and the recall should be expanded to include all affected year models. this issue happens intermittently without warning, and occurs multiple times a week. i purchased this vehicle in dec of 2017, and the issue has been present since my ownership.
Loss of steering; steering wheel locking up and jerking out of my hands while making a turn. headlights ac and radio cutting off. multiple warnings including stabilitrac and power steering assist. engine failure. this happens at low speeds and turning. i took it to the dealer ship today and they said that it fried my battery and cables and fuse but theydont know the reason why this is happening. this is almost $700 out of pocket with no garuntee problem solved. my truck has 32,000 miles 2014 chevy silverado lt 1500. when pulling into the dealership this morning, everything listed above happened and thankfully it reciprocated when the mechanic tested it. it threw off ten different codes .
Approx. 1 week ago while driving on a city street, stabilitrak error pops up on screen and power steering goes out while attempting to park. a few days later while driving on highway with cruise control on and engaged, stabilitrak error displays again. initiated my turn signal to signal lane change which disengaged the cruise control. a couple of days later, while driving on the highway with cruise control on but not engaged, the cruise control engaged on it's own causing the engine to rev as an attempt was made to slow the vehicle. dealership says it might be negative battery cable assembly and fuse block and said it would cost me $768 but there is no guarantee it will fix the problem and is likely just the starting point. had the recall done back in august of 2018 for the loss of power steering (where they simply erased the software and loaded new software) so the dealership takes no responsibility for the issue.
I purchased this truck used 3 mo ago, from a dealer with ~101,000 mi on it. in the past several weeks i have had multiple electrical problems, affecting multiple systems. initially, the problems involved the stabilitrack and power steering dash warnings alarming, with a slight change in responsiveness of the steering. it has progressed to complete loss of electrical power (dash, ac, radio, everything goes out, loss of power assisted steerin, and 2/3 times with the vehicle requiring being restarted manually (engine had also shut down). typically after the electrical flicker either the stabilitrack, the power steering or both messages with alarm. this has generally happened when approaching a stop, somewhere between 20 mph and 5 mph, but it next originates after the vehicle has stopped. 2 of the 3 times also included stopping with a gentle turn, as approaching a stop, from which i would then turn. one of the electrical flickers occurred on the freeway while in heavy traffic. i have been unable to capture a picture as this is occurring while driving, and the warning indicator turns off after 3-5 seconds.
While driving vehicle turns off by itself, locking steering wheel and everything going blank. after a minute or so vehicle will turn back on.
Vehicle has several electrical issues. first, power steering fails at low speed turns. then, the car occasionally loses all electrical power (screens, gauges, lights, starter, garage door opener) while parked and off. then last week, it lost all electrical power at 70+ mph on the highway. lost power steering, all screens turned off, gauges when to zero, etc. this lasted for about 3 seconds and then everything came back on. many warning lights including power steering, traction control, parking assist disabled. this also gave a 4wd service warning. now, i get the service 4wd warning every time i start the vehicle and it will not go into 4 wd.
Cruise control will shut off when using turning signal or rolling up windows. it is very dangerous in busy interstate traffic. service stabli track and steering assist reduced will come up on display. power steering is intermittent when turning. headlights flicker when turning signals are used. truck will completely shut down for a split second while driving then everything comes back on, complete loss of control when this happens. when knob for headlights is turned from auto to on position the dash and instrument panel gets dim and stabli track and reduced steering assist message comes on. rear passenger door will not lock using fob, sometimes i will have to hit the unlock button multiple times before door will unlock after lock has been manually pushed down. passenger seat belt ding is also intermittent, sometimes it will not work at all. my truck just now started having all of these issues at the exact same time. we drove from texas to kentucky and back to texas and these issues all started during this trip. it is not safe for my family, i have always bought chevrolet and currently own this truck and a tahoe but they may be my last. all bulbs are good, all fuses and relays are good. truck now has 66000 miles on it. battery was replaced around 59000 miles. seems to be a wiring or ecm (computer) issue to me. i see many complaints similar to mine but yet no recalls have been issued for my vin number.
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.
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.
The powers steering goes out when pulling into a parking space . the car has completely turned off while waiting to make a left turn , seems to be effected by turning the blinkers on ? , it's like there is a complete glitch in the electrical system ? the electric dash comes on and off & yesterday the truck would not start .... i tried it multiple times and finial after 15 minutes it turned over and no more issues yesterday .
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 silverados/sierra's.
: 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.
The power steering message claiming the the traction was unstable, assistance required. then when truck was in motion and was maki g a turn the truck lost all power. this has happened 3 times.
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.
My headlights are flickering. when steering, headlights dim. when using turn signals, headlights dim. power steering randomly cuts out in parking lots. trailer brake service warning came up on instrument screen. i read ground g218 is causing a short and i removed the insulation under the nut that could cause high resistance and it fixed everything for about 3 weeks but the lights and steering problem is still happening. dealer thought maybe trailer brake control system but i did not have them replace, instead found g218 issues online. no open recalls. sounds similar to other complaints. no codes. no issue with battery or alternator.
At start up the radio and info screen on dash between the rpm and speedometer was reset as if the negative battery cable was removed and replaced. the power steering died out later on a turn onto my block and was on and off as it jerked out of my hands while parallel parking. start up the next day and the reset was back with the wheel free to turn for now. i haven't moved the truck for fear of the steering going out again. truck has 44,450 miles.
Having issues with power steering going out lights flickering dash lights flickering cruse control turning off bluetooth shutting off stabletrac coming up on dash and other problems flashing on and off had my head lights go off and on
Truck dies in the middle of the intersection nearly causing an injury. driver has to get out of the truck in said busy intersection to try to figure out the problem, because truck would not turn on. this is not a battery issue. research has proven hundreds of other people are having these same issues with this particular truck.truck dies several times a day while turning or pulling into a driveway or parking spot. electricity glitches when driving down the road if a bump is hit or if the brakes are pressed mildly hard. as for the date below, it happens literally every day. the cause for complaint is the truck died in the middle of a busy intersection nearly causing an accident.
Vehicle looses power when turning, radio screen flashes on/off, stabilitrak error displays on screen, total loss of power to vehicle while on the road while driving while in motion. this specific vin# was involved in a recall for the exact issue last year and was repaired but is still functioning as per manufacturer agreement. this vehicle is unsafe to be on the road as is. took it back to autonation gulf fwy to get a diagnostic they claimed it was the neg batt terminal, i got that fixed still having the same issue. gm nor chevy want to help with this issue. i guess they are waiting for someone to die before they take this issue seriously . i don't see paying for all the repairs out of pocket if i just bought this vehicle aug 28, 2018 and was never informed that it had been involved in a recall.
Just purchased truck used less than 2 weeks in truck was throwing warning for stabletrack ac would stop working radio would stop working then loaded up the family to take a little trip about 30 miles away when you got to the destination going slow on a right turn truck violently whips steering wheel out of hand and stalls restart a truck and proceeded forward within 5 minutes it repeated the above very dangerous have a 4 year old the halo around in this truck and i fear for our lives
Power steering is giving out for a short period of time causing issues while turning at lower speeds & almost caused me to wreck a few times and then stability control and dash items, ac & radio turn off while this happening - everything my truck is experiencing is as described in recall info below from consumer affairs. this is taken place a few times and most recently took truck into dealership on 10/12/18. when power steering is lost, drivers may also notice a dashboard light warning them of a power steering fault, or they may notice that all dashboard warning lights are temporarily disabled, the agency says. other related electrical systems, such as traction control, air conditioning, warning chimes, power door locks, and cruise control, may also stop working when the power steering has been lost.
I lose electric power steering while turning hard left sometimes my lights flicker when i use my left directional signals at times after a hard left turn engine stalls talk to my dealer the dealer says he cannot help me with this problem because there are so many different things that could be involved i have 88,000 miles on this truck and the dealer says if he tries to attempt to repair this i would be responsible to pay him he cannot tell me how many hours it would take. on two or three websites i have found one is a gm website many people have complained about this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the stability traction control warning indicator flashed intermittently and various other warning indicators illuminated. in addition, the entertainment system flickered and the vehicle stalled several times due to a sudden loss of power. in addition, the electronic power steering seized each time the failure occurred. the dealer (ed bozarth chevrolet, 5501 drexel rd, las vegas, nv 89130, (702) 967-5500) was notified of the failures. the vehicle was kept at the dealer for weeks. the dealer indicated that the vehicle had a ground point g218 failure with a high negative resistance concerning the battery cable. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was not available.
While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning. the engine shuts down and all electrical is lost. luckily i haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection. after i get truck started there are numerous error codes in the display: open and close drivers side window, stabilatrak, steering wheel assist, stabilatrak reduce speed b/c of steering assist, 2 keys programmed. also while traveling at high rate of speed (70-80 mph) on highway the stabilatrak error would appear when i put turn signal on to change lanes but truck has not yet shut down under that condition. i have taken my truck to 2 different chevrolet dealers for this dangerous problem but they have not been able to find the problem. the last time the truck shut down on me was 9-19-2018 and the truck did not start right away and my 4-way flashers did not work while i was stranded in the intersection.
Vehicle has loss of steering, stabilitrac and electrical and engine failure momentarily under 1000 rpm. not an everyday problem, but is becoming more frequent and had recall for steering control done
I have brought my truck to the chevrolet in union city georgia for them to repair the recall 3 times this year and they keep saying they reset the computer esp and yet the problem still occur every blue moon the head light flicker and dims when i press the brakes the interior light will dim and head lights also. on 8/19/18 coming home from work while parking my truck in my driveway while turning. it cut off and steer wheel reverse back and this been going on for some months i have to cut the truck off and back on again to get it to act right and if i drive for a week one of them days it will eventually do it again i go to work early in the morning and when my headlights are on i notice they dim once?s i put my feet on the brakes or turn on the turn signals it dims. now when it comes back while driving i place my foot on the brakes and the radio and dashboard interior light dims and i?m real cautions when i turn that when sometimes it want to shift off. i just want the situation fix besides that it's a good truck i?m just paranoid while driving it some days i also have videos of it acting up on since the dealership claim that can't find the issue. *tr
Loss of electrical power to the vehicle while at slow speed. truck shows multiple warnings, i.e. stablitrak, reduce steering, window, etc. temporary loss of steering while driving; wheel tightens up and/or jerks hard. veh engine remains on during most occurrences but other times, engine shuts down completely. cause; 218 ground wire becomes loose and nut comes completely off post (see pics). solution: reinstall 218 ground wire to post.
Air bag light comes on and stabilitrak turns off while making low speed maneuvers. truck occasionally shuts off and will need to be restarted.
Service 4wd notification turned on. 2 days later, the vehicle is locked in 4wd, making reversing and turning difficult. reduced turning radius as a result. sound of grinding when turning. sensation of tires gripping overly hard. took it to the dealership because an electrical recall was just done a month prior. they said the transfer case control module and actuator motor were faulty. the alignment, which had been just tuned less than a month prior, was also faulty and needed to be redone. these items were replaced at a cost of $1,184.37.
While driving down the highway with ac on, when i attempt to use additional electronics (radio, blinker to change lanes, cruise control, brakes (brake lights), the electronics flicker, stability all resets, cruise control will shut off and the entire electronic system almost shuts off.
I was backing up to my driveway when the chime started to sound off and the steering wheel froze it wouldn't turn ,til i stop and pulled up then it turn it was on a residential street i'm glad i wasn't on the highway
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. when the vehicle was started, the abs and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
I was driving on the interstate at about 50mph when a stabilitrak message came up. after it came up the vehicle completely shut down for a couple seconds. i lost all steering and braking during this time as if the ignition was turned off. this happened a couple of times. when i got to my destination the vehicle completely shut down before i could put it into park and turn the ignition off. it is extremely concerning that the vehicle was doing this while driving at highway speeds.
2014 1500 ltz almost killed myself several times in the past week. lights begin to flicker and that's the first warning sign to watch for. steering assist shuts down and truck stalls if turn continues at low speed. shut down has happened various times now putting through a drive thru. vehicle also shuts off while driving at 75mph
Steering assist stabilizer reduced error on dashboard and vehicle shuts down.
Truck shut off at low speed & want turn all most reck mash button on steering wheel and it cuts off motor & steering & stereo & ac i'm kind of scary about driving it
When turning at low speeds the truck shuts off and the steering locks with no control of the vehicle. at other times the steering wheel turns side to side wildly with no driver input . i am aware of the recall for this issue and have had the truck at a dealership twice but the issue keeps coming back. my truck has 42000 miles and is well taken care of but it is very unsafe to drive, please help as i know this is not an isolated issue, thanks.
When turning into parking lot today at low speed, electrical system went crazy, screen flashed power steering failure, stabilitrac failure, doors locked and unlocked and engine died. restarted and was fine driving forward and repeated failures again when turning to park in parking space. it is fortunate this was in a parking lot and not on interstate or other main road or while turning at a traffic light. there was a recall in fall of 2017 for power steering that was repaired at dealership upon notification. when i contacted the dealership, the service department supervisor advised it sounded as if there was a poor connection of a battery cable. the battery was replaced just a few months ago. it seems to me that if a it's a battery cable connection issue, then gm has another safety problem they need to address since i've read numerous other complaints with the exact same issues, and in my opinion, there must be a manufacturer defect if battery cables just come loose for no apparent reason. this needs to be fixed before someone is very seriously injured or killed as a result of this dangerous condition. gm seems to be aware of the other reported issues and has taken no measures to correct it. maybe all of us who own their vehicles should file a class action lawsuit and they might get off their [xxx] and do something! i certainly won't hesitate to file a civil complaint for product liability if a family member is hurt as a result of their continued negligence. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*cc
While driving down the road and turning the steering wheel, the steering wheel snatches away from your hand. when doing so, the locks unlock and lock, then the stabilitrack light comes on. this has happened several times and twice the vehicle completely shut off. luckily my wife was turning into the driveway when it did because it shut off and the steering wheel locked. she is scared to death to drive this vehicle and i owe way too much money to trade it in. i've taken it to my dealership here and they tried reprogramming it due to a recall but that did not fix it. when i called to ask for assistance, they replied that it would be a minimum of 1 1/2 hour labor to diagnose it and that it $110 an hour. i've noticed while looking on the internet that this is a common problem with the year model truck. this is a major safety factor and needs to be addressed asap before something happens to one of my family members. people on the internet state that it is a grounding problem and the manufacturer knows about the problem.
Vehicle loses power steering during turns at low speeds and will also turn vehicle off. if vehicle does not turn off, vehicle will display "redused power steering assist" and a stabilitrak warning. if vehicle turns off, vehicle will not turn on right away and dashboard display will not turn on when key is in the on position. after attempts to turn vehicle on, the smell of burning wires is smelled in the cab with no obvious electrical fire.
