Owned truck for one year, bought used at dealership. within 6 months, the service stablilitrack message popped up while on highway and power steering diminished. cruise control would turn off when using the blinkers to change lanes. put a new battery in and things worked well until yesterday when on the highway and the service stabilitrack message came back again when i used my turn signal to change lanes while using the cruise control. the cruise control also turned itself off. went to park and the truck shut down for one second and seemed to reboot. it drove fine after that but scared the [xxx] out of me. luckily no one was around. the headlights have also dimmed when pushing the brake pedal. i see there was a recall but i don't know if this truck had it fixed at that time or not. the website tells me there is only one open recall but for the brake system and this seems to be an electrical problem not brakes. i am contacting the dealership but i doubt they will have an answer and will want to charge me for something that appears, according to this site and others, to be ...
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.
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?

Slowing down to park on a street and lost steering and lights flickering, i just had recall reprogrammed &serviced 60 days ago, driver assist service lights also on and parking.i nearly crashed twice so far i need my vehicle for transportation and would like help with this immediately ,for it is a pricey luxurious vehicle.
The engine shuts off and it looses all power randomly when turning , it is noow started to shut off in traffic when lightly tapping the brakes..
Driving vehicle at a low speed into a parking lot, when suddenly and without warning, it completely shut off. no power whatsoever, unable to put on hazard lights. disconnected battery neutral and hot for about 10-15 min. reconnected and it started back up. there was a dashboard message to roll driving window up and down. this has happened in the past, but only when starting, never while in drive and in forward motion! in the past i had it diagnosed for the no crank no start and for $400 i updated the bcm. typically, with no crank no start, i would disconnect battery neutral for 10 minutes, reconnect and start up slowly, ie: turn ignition to on, wait 1 min then crank it to start. i have accepted the occasional no crank no start, but the idea that this happened in drive is unacceptable and incredibly dangerous!

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. while the contact's wife was making a left turn at a low rate of speed, the vehicle shut off in the middle of an intersection without warning. after multiple attempts to restart the vehicle, the contact had to disconnect the battery ground cable and reconnect it for the vehicle to restart. the contact took the vehicle to don mealey chevrolet (17185 fl-50, clermont, fl 34711) where they were able to duplicate the failure and recommended that the battery ground cable be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was out of warranty. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 105,000.
All happened same day. was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times. has not occurred since. but when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly. still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. have never had a check engine light come on. i am having it checked out this week.
My truck lost all electrical power when i was at a stop light,, i was in drive but was at a stop light , it happened a second time after i shut it off came back and turned the key and there was no power i waited for 5 minutes and al of sudden electrical turned on
Takata recall driving truck down interstate and it just cutoff no steering no breaks all power shuts off. i wait till truck is stooped and try wigging key and make sure gearshift is in right position. after a few min lights come on the dash and the truck will start back up. it says in the notification area in dash let driver side window down and up again. this has happen twice and both times i was on a interstate almost hit by cars behind me. i was driving about 65 mph going straight most time it would do this if i change lanes.
I was driving on the interstate and a message stating "service stabilitrack" message appears simultaneously with the check engine light and service traction control, the car loses the ability to accelerate and maintain speed. i kept driving because there was no safe place to stop, and after a few miles the door locks unlocked then locked, the info screen flashed and then the engine revved and appeared to drive normally. several miles later it happened again, over and over. when i reached my nieghborhood the car completely powered off.
My 2014 gmc sierra shuts off while driving on the interstate with my family. in some cases all electrical blinks and it continues to drive while temporarily losing power steering and other features and other times turning off completely until coming to a stop. the dealership wants ~$400 to do diagnostics on a g218 bolt that they were told by gmc that it is related to. this issue came from the factory this way. while not wanting to pay that for the diagnostic and researching myself, i found 100s of videos online similar to the one below which shows this issue happening to owners of the gmc trucks. when i spoke with gmc customer care about this, they told me that there were no recalls on the issue. there are going to be truck owners that lose their life along with any passengers if this issue is not taken care. i am very scare for our safety and the safety of countless others like the link below have posted about this known issue. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198500-2014-and-up-guys-with-funky-electrical-issues/
