The steering assist reduced light and the stable track light keep coming on while driving on street and highway
Loss of power steering assist when first starting the vehicle. a message is displayed on the info panel in the center of the dash and all steering capability is lost. it's impossible to turn the steering wheel when this happens. both times the vehicle has been stationary and i've been able to correct the problem by disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it. i've reported this issue to the local chevrolet service center and they told me to continue monitoring the problem. i'm obviously concerned that this will happen when i'm driving, since, like i've already mentioned, you completely lose the ability to turn the steering wheel. other messages pop as well. "traction control system requires servicing." "trailer brake requires servicing." many of the electrical features on the dash quit working.
2018 silverado crew cab lt has had a stiff steering issue for over a month now. has 11 thousand miles. carried to lynn layton chevrolet the first time, found 0 issues. carried back a couple of days later, service manager drove the truck and said he experienced the stiffness while driving. they replaced the battery stating their was a dead cell in the battery when i've never had any problems with starting vehicle or dimming light. i picked the truck up again still has same steering stiffness while driving and turning right and left. took the truck back a third time the same day as my second attempt to fix and lynn layton chevrolet in decatur, alabama still has my vehicle. seriously consider trading at this point to avoid any more conflict.
Steering loss with warning. i've had the truck for 100 miles and have had this problem 8-10 times. in motion, stopped, transitioning into motion. quickly moving from forward to reverse.

Driving at highway speed holding the steering wheel straight the truck will move quickly to the left lane some time and then other times to the far outside of the right lane. also i have had it move all the way to left lane and the all the way back across the right lane to off the road. have notice as well that you can be turning the steering wheel to the right and the truck is still going to the left. when driving in a curve and coming back to center from the right it will snap back really fast not nice and easy like from the left. the truck has done this from day one i have tried to get gm to fix it but the say there nothing wrong i have drove 7 other truck like mine and they all had like there should the drive straight down the road.
