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.
Flex fuel sensor malfunction, causing check engine light to go on and inability to remote start car. verified with local third-party shop that nothing else would be causing this. did not take into local dealership as have had previous issues with incorrectly fixing a voluntary recall so we utilized the third party shop instead. located a gm special coverage bulletin (#14289) from 2014 that included our make/model regarding this specific issue, but the vin is not included in the recall. but chevrolet can not tell me why the vehicle is not included and cannot look up the specific coverage i was talking about. this has happened several times over the course of about a year, mainly in the wintertime.
When pulling out of my driveway this morning i noticed and orange glow and smoke from the back window. it was an electrical fire from the back defrost that is on recall in canada for this same vehicle. why is this not a recall in the us? what if i was driving and my kids were in the car? completely unsafe and needs to be addressed before any one gets hurt.

The power steering locks up for just a second and the triggers the stabilitrack warning. the lights flicker when i turn the turn signal on, it will shut off and turn back on when turning at low speeds. all issues that have been recalled on 2014 silverados. just not my 2014 silverado
Truck clicks when you try and start with the key you have to start with the remote start button on the key fob then put the key in
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.
While engaging slow idle speed turns, my 2014 silverado will occasionally completely lose all power steering and the engine will shut off completely. i have also had the same issue occur while driving straight and applying the brake or rolling up windows. during these terrifying situations, a message comes across the dash saying one or all of the following "electronic power steering reduced. drive with caution" "stabilitrack" "trailer brakes". this issue seems to be very sporadic and unpredictable. i looked up possible solutions and had a mechanic fix a poor grounding connection under the dash which they thought could be the cause but did not resolve the problem. please help!
While parked in a parking lot, the vehicle would not start. the truck mad a clicking sound and all lights lit up on dashboard, but no concise error message. truck then started, but lost power when i put it into reverse with all lights coming on again. turned off ignition and then the truck started. drove the truck 2 miles to my home and when pulling into my driveway, the truck lost total power and nearly caused me to crash in to a parked vehicle. i was able to avoid the collision and i turned the key off in the ignition. i waited a minute and the truck started without issue. the next morning, the truck had the same issue starting - clicking sound but would not start. it finally started and i took it to my local shop to get a diagnosis. they could not find the issue. the next day, the same clicking noise occurred and it wouldn't start after multiple attempts. i called aaa to have my vehicle towed to the shop. when aaa came, the mechanic was able to start the vehicle. i then drove it to the repair shop for another diagnosis. they could not pinpoint the issue and recommended that i take the truck to the nearby chevrolet dealership, which i did. they had it for 2 days and could not find an issue - drove, tested, diagnosed multiple times to no avail. truck also did not show any signs of power loss, etc. today, for the fifth time in the last 8 days, there was an issue. truck started normally, drove approx. 2 miles and parked. when attempting to start, the same problem occurred - clicking sound, lights lighting up on the dash board and this time, a stabiltrak error came on and off. truck then started after 3 attempts so i drove it home. went to restart and the clicking sound with lights on the dash lit up again. the power loss while driving has occurred 3 times in the past, but the vehicle started up with no other issues. had this truck for 4 years with no issues until now.
I was about 10 minutes into my morning commute after remote starting my vehicle. i was stopped in a drive thru line. started to smell electrical burning. heard a loud pop and my rear window on the driver side of the slider had shattered and there was smoke coming from the lower center corner where the window meets the defroster connector.
Vehicle's electrical components malfunction and seem to short out then the entire vehicle shuts down. this is primarily when moving at slower speeds and making turns in either direction. the stabilitrak, park assists, turn indicators all shut off and warnings pop up on the dash. shortly after that the vehicles electrical system shuts down entirely. from what i have read online this is due to an malfunctioning ground wire that the manufacturer did not install properly. the error is due to the sound proofing material getting in the way of the ground bolt and the vehicle. this is very dangerous as it has happened while turning left at an intersection and there is oncoming traffic. this has happened multiple times to me over the last few months and most recently, yesterday, 5/20.
The truck continues to shut off when ever im driving it no matter where i'm at. on the freeway or making a turn it will just shut off. everything goes dead.
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 .
This vehicle has had a previous recall for power steering failure at low speeds due to voltage issues. the recall and software update was performed in september of 2017. i have recently been experiencing the same symptoms from the previous recall. i have noticed when driving at low speeds i will temporarily loose power steering. this has happened approximately 5 times in the last month. it usually occurs when i am in a parking lot, pulling into a parking space, at low speeds 5-10 mph, and when i am turning. the power steering stops working for a second or so and then comes right back. i have also noticed while traveling on the highway or interstate my headlights flickering as if there is a low voltage issue. the voltage meter has been in the normal operating range, and i have had no warning lights or alarms when these incidents have occurred. most recent incident occurred today 4/30/19 when pulling into a parking space at a local restaurant.
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.
Mileage: approx. 43600 twice this past week while driving, both on wednesday, the electronics completely shut down 'no engine, no steering, no nothing'! electronics returned much like there was an 'auto-reset' breaker. on friday morning briefly would not start and signaled a perimeter reading. my wife was with me on both occurrences and continued the issue with cliff when the truck was returned without a repair of the issue. her point was simple, the vehicle could cause a deadly accident. upon returning home susan researched the internet and found the problem was mentioned with only two mentions of potential repairs that made little sense; i.e., a fly wheel sensor, the negative battery cable assembly, a repair of g218 ground, etc .
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled and the theft deterrent warning message displayed "please roll down driver window". the contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road. when the vehicle was restarted, it was able to drive normally. in addition, the oil pressure gauge fluctuated and returned to normal. hudiburg chevrolet (located at 6000 tinker diagonal, midwest city, ok 73110, (844) 362-3330) was called, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
On 4/2/2019 while traveling at 45 mph, slowed to make left turn. while midway through intersection, engine died, dash lights went out, power steering and brakes gone. within seconds everything powered back up and engine resumed as if nothing happened. warning indicators words flashed briefly. i caught "stabilitrack". i drove for another mile and as i was entering driveway about 5 mph and while driving straight, engine and dash lights went off again and restarted again. prior to all this headlights were flickering and there was a little deadening in the power steering. truck had 72,950 miles. i checked the grounding points and cleared out the deadening material that slightly impeded it. not sure this will help. this is actually the second time this has happened. on 6/22/18 at 64,888 miles, i had a similar problem. at that time took it in to shop. they tightened the grounding bolts (g218) and cleaned the battery terminals. i guess it helped until recently. it cost $180.
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.
My truck shut off while driving. mostly when making turns. the steering becomes stiff also.
Complete loss of electrical power, power steering, air bags, abs, traction control, and stereo. had to have vehicle jump started to make to home.
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.

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 .
: 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.
Started vehicle pulled out of garage and power went out and vehicle stopped everything shut off. wouldn't start. no power at all. then waited about 1 minute and truck started and everything was reset, clock time. and it displayed some error on dashboard about rolling down window and it will clear system . but couldn't because about 2 hours before i drove 7 miles to pick my son up from school and got out of truck got my son and when we got back into truck put key in and turned it nothing truck wouldn't start. nothing at all. waited a minute tried again truck started right up. except my window wouldn't roll down driver front window. every other window works. this truck is barely 4 years old.

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 truck has lost power 3 times while driving. fortunately no accidents have happened as a result, but i no longer feel safe in the vehicle. first occurrence, i was in motion backing into my driveway. second occurrence, i was leaving my neighborhood and turning right when i lost all power and drifted into traffic. third occurrence, i was turning right into my neighborhood and ended up on my neighbors front lawn. i took it to a local chevrolet dealership for repairs, and the problem persists. they made 3 attempts at fixing, i paid each time, and nothing has been repaired.
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.

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.

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.
The vehicle was driving around a curve at approximately 45 mph when the steering locked. the driver is unclear if the breaks worked or not, but he ended up stepping on the gas pedal accidentally. he hit a tree head on and totaled the truck. he noticed the audio system lost the signal from his iphone and began playing the local radio station at the same time. the iphone was connected via an auxiliary cord. the driver is familiar with a loss of power steering and is quite sure the steering locked and was unable to be moved even with considerable effort. the driver was taken to a hospital by ambulance and is lucky to have only minor injuries. prior to this, recall #17276 was completed on the truck, but after that it did have an electrical incident where all electrical components went haywire, blinking & beeping & turning on & off, then everything went dead, including the steering. the truck was towed to the dealership who replaced the battery & found no other problems. we kept the battery they replaced, had it tested & it was found to be fine. the dealership refunded the cost of the new battery, but offered no solution to the electrical problem.
