2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Jun 20, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · TX

Over the last week, my truck power has been almost shutting down after the stabilitrac warning appears on the dash while I’m turning or going over uneven pavement. The whole system shut down once already when turning around in a driveway. I have a new battery. Spark plugs are good. ABS is good. There are no recalls I can find, but this must be electrical somehow. Help me pls before it causes an accident.

I was merging on to the expressway and my truck kept going to the left into traffic towards a concrete median. I turned my wheel to the right to try to avoid it and started to spin out and went back to the right side of the expressway which was four lanes wide and slammed into the guardrail. After the wreck I noticed my ABS light was on I’m not sure if it came on as I was merging onto the expressway.

The 2014 and up Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models are notorious for electrical issues and bugs, some may have been recalled but other were not included in that recall while still having the same issues, these vehicles have major electrical system issues, from bad battery cables, down to every Control Module associated with the truck, over time salt, sand, mud, moisture disrupts certain key areas of the electrical wiring harness underneath the vehicle, General Motors knows about this but fails to recall these vehicles, it creates a very serious matter when you have no traction control, or any ABS function, along with loss of power steering assist. These control systems can be life and death when they are not working!. GM needs to address these issues and recall ALL 2014+ Silverado’s and alike for these electrical issues relating to “loss of communication with the ECM, BCM, TCM, EBCM, TCCM, PSCM, etc. these are costly break downs and these modules are very expensive to just throw in and hope it fixes the issue, most dealers don’t want to trace wiring issues and will just tell the customer cannot replicate which leaves us vulnerable. Some customers state their vehicles will randomly shut off while driving, others report their truck going into “Limp home mode”. Nobody can seem to centralize a specific area where the problems are occurring but believe it has something to do with the material and the way the harness was made.

When stopping at slow speeds in stop and go traffic my abs would kick on and the power breaks would not work and I would need to press the break pedal very hard to stop. Only seems to happen in stop and go traffic at slow speeds but it's super scarey.

After traveling 50 highway miles, when I was making a slow left hand turn onto a residential street, my vehicle lost power steering, lost power brakes, lost onstar, and the engine shut off. I proceeded to turn manually and stop ending up in the opposite lane. If a car was in the lane it would have been an accident. After some time, the vehicle restarted and I had no problems for now 8 days. While travelling at speed, stabilitrak warning intermittently came on a few times and steering felt loose at times when changing lanes. Vehicle was part of the 17276 safety recall on 8/10/2017. This problem has occurred multiple times since 2018 and has been in the dealership 3 times for this problem: once for 17272 in 2017, once clearing codes-paid over $ 100 for a diagnostic analysis they cleared codes, no repair 9/30/2019, once cannot repeat 9/03/2020, and once upgrading software 1/7/2020. Short time stabilitrak warnings ABS warning and notice to raise driver's side window up and down came on multiples times. Clearly gm chev has not solved this software logic problem and cannot fix a clear significant safety issue.

150 miles after regular service of engine light/ABS/and stabiltrak lights being on, and an oil change, the truck stalled (luckily I was in my own driveway). Shortly after, the engine light, followed by ABS light came on. Suddenly the speedometer gauge acted wildly, there was a very hard shift. I put it on cruise control just to help the engine quit hard shifting....cc cancelled itself out. Everything sets back to normal for a minute or less and it all happens again, this time taking away power steering and a louder "hard shift". In the mean time, every warning I think there is would pop up...."stabiltrak off, starring assist reduced...etc". This just continues and seems to get more aggressive, more frequent...including resetting to normal briefly each time. Schumacher buick/gm/chevy said it could be TCM, or ECM, or another I can't recall. Unhappy with lack of knowledge of issue, and a "let's try this then this then this..", it has perplexed not one but two very accredited mechanic teams. The truck has 130,000 miles, and was serviced as it should have been by the chevy dealer since iacquired it new. It never had any similar issue until just after its most recent maintenance. Thankfully this all occurred within miles of my home, as the issue is most definitely a threat to any hopes of safety. Towing it, is the only way to safely move that vehicle after experiencing the issues.

I pulled into a drive thru traveling straight ahead. When I tried to brake I heard an odd clicking noise and had a very hard brake pedal. The noise I found out later was the ABS system doing it's job because of my hard braking. I did get the vehicle stopped before hitting the vehicle in front of me. The hard brake continued as I moved through the drive thru line. Once I pulled out on to the road the and tried the brakes again they appeared to work properly. I pulled into an open lot and tried the brakes multiple times at low speed and the hard brake condition continued. My vehicle just turned over 70,000 miles and had the recall n192268490 to recalibrate the brake control module for hard braking on 3/4/2020. It's apparent that the fix gm is doing for the hard brake pedal and stopping is not resolving the issue. This is a very dangerous situation and if I had been carrying any weight or a trailer with my truck I would not have been able to stop. I am going to be replacing the brake vacuum pump which I believe will fix the issue.

Loss of braking power has occurred multiple times at the boat ramp. While slowly backing down the ramp in reverse, brakes will become stiff and not stop the truck. Abs sensation in the pedal can be felt once pushing the pedal harder until the vehicle stops. Only solution is to put the vehicle in drive and give slight throttle to regain braking power before continuing to back down the ramp (which is less than 20 ft long nonetheless). My tuck has almost not stopped and rolled into the water on a few occasions now.
