Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

It happens intermittently.. as i slow up to a speed under 10 miles an hour, as soon as i turn the steering wheel, the vehicle will lose power, either turning off and on fast the dash will lose power but the motor will still be running... sherry this happens, the steering feels like theres resistance turning and the only way to fix it is to turn off the vehicle and let it sit. other times it will happen and the vehicle will lose total power,almost like i removed the key but the vehicle will still be rolling. the steering wheel has locked twice all while the vehicle is still in motion as well and brakes are non functioning. its happened several times going through intersections, pulling into my driveway, and u turns. it never happens in reverse. ill never own a chevy again...

A rough clunk noise occurs when trying to stop, and car actually revs to accelerate speed when applying breaking and trying to stop. (in . motion) this is a dangerous issue. transmission does not appear to smoothly enter into subsequent gears. a jerk occurs in between shifting of gears. (moving) i have been completely stopped on a flat street, and relax my foot off the break, and the car wants to leap jump forward. this is not safe. (stopped) there are several reports of this issue found in online forums from other owners with the same 2017 chevy silverado. just purchased vehicle in november.

The codes should not allow you to use the starter and it dose will be goiing down the road and loses power.went through 5 wire harrnesses with in the 5 months

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the service brake warning indicator illuminated and the trailer brakes failed to work. the vehicle was taken to star chevrolet (5200 us-30 c, greensburg, pa 15601) where the failure code was erased and the brakes returned to normal; however, the failure recurred approximately five times. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 18,707.

While i was driving on the highway, approximately 55mph; the check engine light came on; smelled like plastic burning at the same time; i was able to stop on exit ramp as thick black smoke filled the inside. good samaritans helped me get out as flames were ignited under the hood. several like mini explosions accompanied the flames.

Vehicle was parked in a shopping center parking lot after being driven for approximately 15 minutes. when returning to the vehicle 10 minutes after parking it, the vehicle starter was attempting to start the vehicle despite no remote start or onstar app being activated to start the vehicle. the vehicle continued to attempt to crank and start, even after i unlocked the vehicle with my key fob, inserted the key into the ignition, and attempting to start the vehicle and turn off the key. the vehicle continued to attempt to crank and start and i smelled a strong electrical burning smell. i then saw blue/greyish smoke coming from the passenger side where the hood meets the windshield. i then gathered my belongings from the truck and watched from a safe distance. after the smoke, the truck no longer attempted to crank or start itself and the smoke was gone within 5 minutes, although there were small instances of smoke over the next 15 minutes. the truck was put on a flatbed tow truck for further diagnosis at the local chevrolet dealership. initial diagnosis indicated that the "starter had consumed itself" and was the cause of the smoke i saw, but no further information was available. it was quite scary to have a truck attempt to start itself with a small electrical short/fire as a result without a key being needed.

Purchased my 17 chevrolet silverado 1500 on 11/28/17 and returned it to the dealership on 12/1/17. this was due to a severe shuddering & shifting in the transmission & severe shake in the front end at 70-90mph. they balanced & rotated the tires, saying the issue was fixed, i picked the vehicle back up on 12/4/17 but the issue was not fixed & an electrical issue had also occurred. i took the vehicle back on 12/7/18 with the same complaints regarding the transmission & shaking in the front end, as well as the electrical issue. the problem electrically was while sitting at a stoplight the bright lights flashed & the radio/navigation screen went blank. the dealership called me on 12/8/17, told me they had been unable to duplicate the issues, finding nothing wrong. i left it over the weekend, went in monday morning & spoke to the service manager directly. he told me he had purchased the same vehicle with the same transmission issues. said there was a possible fix by exchanging the transmission fluid & they would use a new machine pico to check it out. they had to replace the torque converter due to malfunctioning & perform a programming module update on radio, i picked it up on 12/22/17, issue with the transmission was still not resolved. i took it to a different dealership for transmission shudder, shift & shake issue most noticeable at 70-90mph, & radio issue. they were advised to perform a module update on the transmission & given 2 options on the radio, they chose to replace the screen. i took it back to that same dealership, module update made transmission/front end issue worse, especially coming out of a curve. they've replaced my 2 back tires said they were bad & should fix the shaking issue in the front end. unable to duplicate transmission issues thus they cannot repair it. owners with the same issues are being told gm knows but can't fix transmission issue.
