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.
This has happened twice. the vehicle will not shift into gear, the power steering doesn't work, and other electronic options do not work. this has only happened when the vehicle is stationary. the first time it was parked and started, the weather was around 50f and clear. the second time was after getting gas while parked, the weather was clear and around 82f. after the vehicle sits for 10-15 minutes (off after the first start) you can restart the vehicle and it will go into gear but in a limp mode state. the power steering light will work but the vehicle does not shift correctly and the radio does not work correctly. these incidents happened approximately 5 months apart.
Truck stationary. started engine. immediately message showed up on dashboard indicating steering assist low, drive carefully. no power steering. traction control warning lit. shifted into reverse; truck would not move as if in neutral. truck move move forward in drive. shut off engine and restarted twice. no change. did not attempt to drive.
