When truck is at low rpm (usually turning into parking spot slowly) truck will shut off. its pulling to much power from cpu or alternator and killing truck. this is a safety issue.

2014 GMC Sierra 1500

During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivates, power steering assist deactivates and the steering becomes very difficult, airbags deactivate, turn signals become inoperable, radio shuts off, air conditioning shuts off. this happens while at speed on the highway and at slow speeds. it is especially dangerous when making slow turns as the power steering gives out and the truck instantly becomes nearly uncontrollable (uncontrollable for my wife) in the middle of the turn. i have taken the truck to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong and the best they could do was perform a service bulletin. issue was not corrected. i found that there was a new bulletin that had a fix for the g218 ground. i cut back the sound deadening from the ground, yet that did not fix the issue either. the truck has done this dozens of times and is incredibly unsafe to drive. how can losing steering, airbags, stability control, turn signals, etc. not be a safety concern?
