At slow speeds (mostly when turning) power steering will go out. I've had 3 instances where the truck completely shut off and just as many where it felt like it was about to shut off. Other symptoms have been while driving on highway, generally on a longer trip, warnings about stabiltrack needing service come on, my lane departure sensor will automatically switch from vibrate to audible beep, dimming my headlights or turning my turn signal on will cancel cruise control. I had the recall for software fix for power steering issues applied in september 2017 where previously I experienced none of these issues. All of these issues have been after the recall software fix was applied. The dealer says it's due to a film that builds up on the battery cable connection and causes it to not have a good connection with the battery. Apparently there is a bulletin out for this issue but it isn't a recall so dealers are charging around $700 to fix this. Having your truck turn off while driving is a clear safety issue and one that is much worse than the recall for having your power steering go out when turning at slow speeds.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled several times without warning. The contact took the vehicle to several dealers including ourisman chevrolet of bowie (16610 governor bridge rd, bowie, md 20716, (301) 262-7600), jack winegardner chevrolet (11001 indian head hwy, fort washington, md 20744), and ourisman chevrolet of rockville (807 rockville pike, rockville, md 20852, (301) 637-6496), but the failure could not be replicated and diagnosed. The contact was uncertain if the failure was related to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v614000 (electrical system) pertaining to the battery being drained and potential contamination of the chassis electronic module. The three dealers had not test driven the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified. The contact was waiting on a response to determine if they could provide a permanent remedy. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 10 MPH, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to fairway chevrolet truck mega store (3100 e sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89104, (702) 948-7865) where it was diagnosed that the battery wire failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the failure was due to a software malfunction in the electrical system. The failure mileage was 77,000.
This is a complaint on a 2014 chevy silverado truck which we purchased new and has only had one driver. It will randomly loss power going down the highway. Also, frequently now, losses power steering and will violently jerk making it uncontrollably. Had the truck in the shop at the dealer where we purchased it 2 years ago and they could not find the problem. There was a recall on the power steering. We took the truck in to the shop for the recall but are still having the exact same issue. This is a safety issue, not a warranty issue and the dealer is wanting to charge for the diagnostic and any repairs, stating the truck is out of warranty.
When turning into parking lot today at low speed, electrical system went crazy, screen flashed power steering failure, stabilitrac failure, doors locked and unlocked and engine died. Restarted and was fine driving forward and repeated failures again when turning to park in parking space. It is fortunate this was in a parking lot and not on interstate or other main road or while turning at a traffic light. There was a recall in fall of 2017 for power steering that was repaired at dealership upon notification. When I contacted the dealership, the service department supervisor advised it sounded as if there was a poor connection of a battery cable. The battery was replaced just a few months ago. It seems to me that if a it's a battery cable connection issue, then gm has another safety problem they need to address since I've read numerous other complaints with the exact same issues, and in my opinion, there must be a manufacturer defect if battery cables just come loose for no apparent reason. This needs to be fixed before someone is very seriously injured or killed as a result of this dangerous condition. Gm seems to be aware of the other reported issues and has taken no measures to correct it. Maybe all of us who own their vehicles should file a class action lawsuit and they might get off their [xxx] and do something! I certainly won't hesitate to file a civil complaint for product liability if a family member is hurt as a result of their continued negligence.

While conducting low speed manuveurs radio and dash flashes off, then engine shuts off while vehicle is still in drive causing loss of steering assist and brake assistance. Dash and radio turn back on and warning messages stating stabilitrak disabled, steering assistance reduced, 2 keys programmed, open and close drivers window, and park assist disabled are displayed. Dealership thinks this could be due to corrosion in the power distribution box and recommended replacement.
While driving my 2014 chevy silverado at any speed it will automatically shut off while turning completely disabling the engine, this also happens at any speed sometimes the vehicle will start and sometimes vehicle won't for several minutes I wish gm would recall this vehicle that I have only owned for 2 months before someone gets killed I bought it from phil long ford in colorado springs, I have taken it to the dealer and they can't seem to find any issues wrong with the vehicle they've had my truck for several days and I don't see them finding any answers
While driving down the road and turning the steering wheel, the steering wheel snatches away from your hand. When doing so, the locks unlock and lock, then the stabilitrack light comes on. This has happened several times and twice the vehicle completely shut off. Luckily my wife was turning into the driveway when it did because it shut off and the steering wheel locked. She is scared to death to drive this vehicle and I owe way too much money to trade it in. I've taken it to my dealership here and they tried reprogramming it due to a recall but that did not fix it. When I called to ask for assistance, they replied that it would be a minimum of 1 1/2 hour labor to diagnose it and that it $110 an hour. I've noticed while looking on the internet that this is a common problem with the year model truck. This is a major safety factor and needs to be addressed asap before something happens to one of my family members. People on the internet state that it is a grounding problem and the manufacturer knows about the problem.
While turning my truck all electronics want to flash my locks will lock /unlock,my lights will flicker or flash, park assist unavailable will pop up on dashboard and my truck will shut off while im trying to turn
My truck will sometimes idle rough the steering gets real hard .when appling the breaks the lights will dim temporarily when I come to a stop and turn off my truck I loose all electrical power ..and will not start again..the problem is occurring more frequently ....
My 2014 chevrolet silverado is at a gm dealership for the 4th time due to complete electrical and engine shutdown while driving. The issue started during low speed sharp turns but now is happening while driving the vehicle straight. Complete loss of use occurs and the vehicle will not come back on for 10 minutes after the occurrence. Power steering recall has not resolved it, ground wire tightening has not resolved and main battery cable replacement has not resolved. Dealership response is they don't know what the issue is caused from. I am very concerned this complete loss of power while driving will cause a severe collision and no recall or resolution has been created by gm.
2014 model year chevrolet silverado 1500 and gmc sierra 1500 vehicles, equipped with e85 flex fuel capability (fhs), the flexible fuel sensor may become inoperative during normal operation due to an electrical failure caused by road salt and other environmental contaminants. With a faulty flex fuel sensor, the service engine soon light will illuminate and remote start will be inoperative.
The service theft deterrent system warning came up on my dashboard and the vehicle wouldn't start. Removing the key and opening the door reset it. This happened friday, march 30th. On sunday april 1st, a similar event occurred, except this time, after getting the car started I drove about 1/4 mile and the vehicle lost all brake/steering support and then the engine cut off, leaving me to try bringing the vehicle to a stop myself (which thankfully I did). I took the vehicle to the dealership first thing on monday, april 2nd, and they ran tests and found a service bulletin saying to replace the negative battery cable and the junction box. Being a service bulletin only though, it is not covered by the powertrain warranty and would cost $675. Being that this is a safety issue since it cuts all power while someone is driving, I feel this to be unfair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The battery was replaced, but the failure continued. The vehicle was towed to landers mclarty chevrolet in huntsville, al, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 42,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the heated seat sensor and collision avoidance system ceased to function. Seth wadley chevrolet buick of ada (1301 n broadway ave, ada, ok) was contacted and referred the contact to the gmc manufacturer. The contact stated the heated seats were repaired on two occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was offered and the contact was referred to the federal safety agency. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 45 MPH, the air conditioner failed to blow cold air. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bruce walters ford-lincoln kia (302 south mayo, pikeville, ky 41501, (606) 444-2200) where it was diagnosed that the condenser failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
The stabilitytrack will flash on and make the steering wheel very difficult to steer or while turning the steering wheel will jerk out of my hand and not let me maneuver the way I want to. At the same time the truck will briefly lose all power disabling everything. This has happened in parking lots as well as everyday city and highway driving and at all speeds from as slow as 5mph to as fast as 70mph. There has 2 times after this happens that I turn the truck off to try to restart it, the truck will be completely dead. Not even the hazard lights will come on. There are other times where I will lose all power to my radio and driver info center and it stays black until I restart the truck a few times. I have taken it to the dealership now 4 separate times now and every time they say its something new. I have paid a little over $800 so far and it is still happening. I am now waiting to hear back from gm/chevy to see what they can do, but looking at what I have already dealt with it I am not optimistic. I have read other complaints about this and I am afraid that its only a matter of time that I will not be able to recover my steering and I will get in an accident with my family in the truck.
Truck dash will flicker and cause stabletrak to disable, and then steering assist says limited. Radio will change stations when this happens, and the steering wheel will lock up and is unable to be turned. Has happened several times while we're on the highway. It's when we're in motion, has happened while trying to park, going on a back road, and on the highway. While in park, we can hear occasional clicking coming from inside the dash. It's been occurring since october, but was really bad on december 22nd. Have a video of one of the occurrences, but not sure how to upload it.
When driving steering wheel locks and stalls out in the middle of driving and turning and says steering loss please drive safe and it's dangerous I could crash
While making a left turn into my driveway on a city street going approximately 10 MPH, my steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left out of my hand, and the entire vehicle went dead (lost all power, lights, etc.). Because the steering wheel locked, I was unable to turn fully into my driveway. As a result, the bed of the truck was sticking out into a major road and I was almost hit by cars coming around the curve by my driveway. It was dark and rainy. I called someone for help and we pushed the truck out of the roadway as best as possible, considering that the steering wheel was still locked. The truck would not restart. All power was gone. The only way I could think to move the truck was to jump start it with another vehicle. After jumpstarting the truck, the dash info system displayed, "action required: open then close driver window." this is the 2nd time this happened after chevy dealership performed recall 17276 "temporary loss of electrical power steering (eps) service (during low speed steering maneuvers). There is a tsb out alluding to this issue: #pit5405c: steering jerks or kicks back / reduced power steering assist / engine stall, etc. (jan 27, 2017) . Why is there no recall??? This is a major safety issue and could have been deadly!
The mylink and radio keeps going out eean after being replaced. The dashboard funcions act erratically with blinking and then resets the statistics. When the horn is konked the mylink and radio go dead. The dangerous part id the dash functions acting erratically. Hope it does not stall on my on the highway infront of a semit truck or something.
The radio randomly changes stations on its own and the touch screen doesnot work at random times. The front driver's and passenger's side windows go up and down automatically and cannot be stopped; when the window switch is depressed up or down, the window will make one complete cycle of opening and closing before stopping in the directed position. Both these actions occur randomly and unsuspectingly.
I filed a previous complaint, #11044339, but forgot to add something. I took my vehicle to the dealer on sept. 22,2017 for the power steering recall ,#17276. I don't know if this is related to the problem , but thought it might be some good information to divulge.
While on the highway a stabilitrack warning appeared on the dash stating it might affect power steering assist. This came on several times. Then with the cruise control on and signaling a lane change the cruise was cancelled. This also occurred several times. It also appeared that the dash lights flickered ,but I wasn't sure because of the sunlight . Later that evening I was making a turn on a city street when the dash lights went completely out and I had no power steering. This lasted about 2 seconds before everything came back on. After that episode it hasn't happened since. After reading other similar complaints I am concerned it could happen again and could result in a crash. It seems that when the cruise was cancelled when signaling the lane change, that if I pushed up or down on the turn signal lever at the end of the lever it would cancel the cruise control. I tried pushing down on the lever closer to the steering column and that didn't cancel out the cruise control. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or it just wasn't malfunctioning at the time.
Power steering failure caused accident, it has been five months and they have done nothing
I have been noticing some serious electrical issues in the last few weeks with my 2014 silverado 1500. It started with the "anti-theft detterent" system acting up and not allowing me to start the car. After flipping the key a few times, it went away. Then the problem progressed to when turning the key it was if the battery was dead. Everything would go black (lights, info center, dic, etc). After a few minutes of sitting, I could turn the key and it would start up no problems. Then it all just went away for about 2 weeks. Then just a few days ago, I was turning into a shopping center and the truck just died. The dash, the lights, the engine, everything. I nearly took out the entrance sign of the parking lot. Hanging with my back end in traffic I quickly popped it neutral, restarted the truck, and pulled in. I couldn't recreate the problem. I drove to autozone and had them check the battery and alternator. Everything was fine. About an hour later, in the drive thru at chick fil a, I placed the car in park, received my food, and as soon as I shifted out of park the truck died again, along with the dash and everything else. Restarted and drove home. I spent about 30 mins driving around the block and sitting in the driveway trying to recreate the problem. I have yet to recreate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving approximately 5 MPH, the air conditioner failed to function. The vehicle was taken to sisbarro buick gmc (425 w boutz rd, las cruces, nm 88005, phone number: (800) 215-8021) where it was diagnosed that the freon line had a hole coming from the condenser and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle had a design flaw and was waiting for a bracket that goes to the line from the compressor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
While in motion and turning the truck loses power and steering and says stabilitrack needs service then the truck lost all power and could not be restarted. Had the truck jumped and while driving the AC went out and the stabilitrack warning came on and the steering became jerky and difficult. Once parked and shut off the truck will again not start.
While driving my 2014 chevy silverado around 42000 miles I stopped at a light on a highway and lost all electrical power and the service steering assist came on dash. I was able to restart the truck and go. It happened multiple times. While driving it around a bend on a highway the truck shut off I lost all steering the steering locked up and I almost crashed, the service assist light came on again. This happened multiple times when turning. On 4-13-17 I brought the truck to a chevy dealer it was was still under warranty. They could not reproduce the problem. 8-24-17 I brought the truck in for a recall #17276 for reprogramming the power steering assist control modular. After the recall the truck started doing it more often the same day but the steering did not lock up but the truck shut off when I tried making a turn on a highway. The service steering assist light came on again. On 9-7-17 I brought the truck back to the chevy dealer ( chevy dealer now changed its name from oasis to quality ) complaining that the recall did not work. They said that the recall was not for that. But I believe it is the same problem. They chevy dealer drove the truck for 10 miles and it happened to them.they charged me for the time to trouble shoot the problem and found a loose ground wire #g218 under the dash causing the problem. I have driving the truck for 2 days now and it seems fine. The issue is that they made me pay for something they should have fixed the first time and I believe that this should have been part of recall # 17276, because I believe part of recall #17276 had to do with low voltage to the steering modular. A loose ground will give you low voltage. Any way this is very dangerous and I have read online of others having the same problem. Please make a recall about this loose ground wire that makes the truck shut off and lose steering before someone dies. Thank you
