While moving at low speed attempting to make a turn, vehicle will lose power steering and headlights will dim and flicker. also sitting at idle vehicle will have no power steering and when turning the steering wheel, lights will dim to almost going out completely. on several occasions when making a turn and this happens vehicle will display that stabil trac has been disengaged. door locks also unlocked and locked while this was happening. also when traveling and using cruise control when turning on the turn signals cruise control will disengage and stabil trac notification will come on in display. dealer replaced battery approximately 6 months ago stating it was bad and these issues mimicked a bad battery. all problems still persist.
When i went to start the vehicle 'service brake assist", 'trailer brake malfunction (no trailer attached) and "service ecs" warnings illuminated on the instrument panel. i acknowledged the codes and was driving away and the brakes didn't work. i had to stand on the peddles to stop. the check engine light came on also. i restarted the vehicle and the brakes worked but the check engine light has stayed on. only have ~8000 miles on vehicle.
Out of nowhere multiple warning lights illuminated. esc, brake system failure, trailer brake failure, do not go over 62 mph. brakes were near non functioning.
My truck shuts it's self off as your driving at any speed. i was doing 50 on the highway today when it shut down with no warning. i pulled of the road put it in park turned the key off. and it restarted. the truck has also had many other isues when i took the dealer for the break recall there were 5 coads all were electrical issues.the steering assist comes on when driving along minding your own business.
Purchased new vehicle with less than 4,000 miles was running fine when parked. when it was cranked to go home listed esc failure, service steering column lock, trailering system failure, lane departure disabled, speed limited to 60 mph. i was able to get home, but the brakes were so hard that it was extremely difficult to stop. local dealer it was purchased through "fixed it" less than 1,500 miles later i'm having the same issue! obd has the codes c0021, c0021, p25a2, p25a2, p0606. i do not feel safe driving this truck! if that issue were to happen approaching an intersection i would have no way of stopping in time. ridiculous.
Vehicle was being operated on a paved road when the rear window defroster was turned on to clear snow on the outside. several moments later i heard a hissing sound coming from the rear interior of the pickup cab and then looked into the rear view mirror, at which time i saw smoke emitting form the lower corner of the passenger side fixed window pane (this is 3 piece rear window where the middle pan opens via electrical switch). the hissing continued with the smoke that was coming from the lower corner of the window nearest to the central window panel. i immediately recognized the odor of an electrical fire (burning insulation) and then turned off the rear window defroster switch. the hissing sound and smoke ceased. a few seconds later 8 heard a loud 'pop' sound come from the back window and observed that the entire rear passenger side window had shattered, in place with the fracture line emanating outward from he area where the smoke was first observed.
Lights on instruments panel on and off,, gas gauge not working. miles left goes up and down when truck is sitting.
Started by vehicle with remote start. rear window defrost was on. i did hear some crackling noise by the window, but after getting things around forgot about it. 20 minutes or so into my drive i started to smell something hot/electrical. noticed the rear defrost was still on so i shut that off too see if that was causing the hot smell. moments later the section of rear window on the drivers side exploded with a loud bang. all the glass in that section was shattered and eventually fell out that back (luckily not inside). i was under motion when it happened, but it was on a smooth road, nothing overhanging above (like lines that could drop ice) and not traffic near me. the glass pattern appear like the glass was blown out, not inward like if it had been impacted by an object.
While reversing the rear-view camera turns off intermittently. an error message shows on the display. the display also flashes while applying brakes in reverse. dealer states gm is aware and does not have a fix for this dangerous issue. vehicle has 3300 miles. video and paperwork available.
Upon turning the vehicle on there were no alerts like seat belt warnings, door open, hands free calling, onstar. also when shutting vehicle off no alarm to indicate keys are in the ignition. cannot hear if blinker is on. nothing comes through the radio. this happens on an intermittent basis. approximately every several months. sometimes it will start the sheets if i shut the vehicle off then start it back up. today it didn't do that. at this time my truck has approximately 80,000 miles. also on occasion the service electric breaks have indicated an issue as well.
