I experience sudden and power steering loss followed by a sudden and predictable return of power steering. The duration of the loss is variable. I received a recall notice for the issue and have had my local chevrolet dealer perform what they deemed as the necessary work to fix the issue. They told me the truck was fixed and sent me on my way. The very next day the issue returned, sudden loss of power steering and sudden return of power steering. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer. This is a serious safety issue and the dealer does not appear to be taking this serious. Chevrolet needs to do more to correct this problem.

Steering locks during slow turns, air and radio turn off, sometimes engine stalls as well during turn while steering is locking and unlocking. Happens at slow speed. Has happened to me making a u turn into traffic.
When this happens the lights in dash will flicker and radio will kick off and it says ser service stabilitytrac and it will jerk the steering wheel out of your hand and the truck will quit. The dealer put new body contro modgel but did not help it .after truck quits it takes it awhile and then it does it again this could happen anytime.I put new alternater on it but did not help because u can watch voltage gage drop.
Took my truck in oct. 2016 to have it repaired for steering wheel shuddering and having to fight it on turns. And the truck just shutting down. Told it was an electrical problem. Well 9 months later doing the same thing. After the chevrolet dealer supposedly fixed it. I think it is a problem when you lose control of steering and your truck just stops on turns. My truck was in motion on a city street.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While turning right at 5 MPH, the engine stalled, the brakes failed to slow down the vehicle, the steering wheel became difficult to turn, and the vehicle lost power except for the ESC indicator and a warning chime sounded.

This problem has happened several different times. The first time was in may 2017. As I was driving home, I kept getting a "service stabilitrac" message. About 2 minutes after the last message I was slowing down to turn and my truck completely lost all power. It went completely dark. The steering wheel ripped out of my hands and I nearly crashed head on into oncoming traffic. With all my strength I turned the wheel enough to avoid a head on collision. After I coasted to a stop, I turned the key off, then restarted it and drove home. I took it to a dealer and they told me they couldn't find a problem. For the last 3 months it hasn't happened again until yesterday. All kinds of electrical problems. Losing power, stabilitrac messages, diminished steering, loss of power brakes. I pulled into my driveway yesterday and lost all power, my door locks went up and down like three times, AC surges, radio went on and off a few times. I looked up the problem online and found that this isame problem is happening to a lot of 2014 1500 silverados. This should definitely be a recall issue. Total loss of power while driving. Someone is going to die from this issue. Today when I was driving home I was going about 30 MPH in traffic and my truck lost all power again, total blackout of all electronics, no steering or brakes, but thankfully all systems turned back on in a matter of seconds and I made it home. After looking online, it seems that someone has located the source. It is a fault at the "g218" ground point which is located under the front left dash speaker. (see youtube video, search 2014 chevy silverado 1500 stabilitrac problem). Seriously, how is this not a recall, total loss of power while driving.
Several times the vehicle would loose power and shut down the power steering while attempting to park or turn around in driveway.. On times,only warnings would flash up on the information display about lose of systems and the door locks would cycle. Occasionally, the turn signals would shut off the cruse control.

Steering assist error, service stabilitrac error,- steering wheel jerked out of hand while turning , loss of steering. Electrical loss- all gauges and lighting blank while driving on highway
Traveling at approx. 65mph on us17 a divided four lane highway in traffic when the engine shut off with no warning which resulted in complete loss of lights, signals, flashers, horn, and the steering wheel went into locked position. I was able to safely bring the truck to a stop in the grass median. After collecting my thoughts I tried to restart the truck but there was no response and all electrical functions would not operate. About 10 minutes later while I was on my cell phone with a tow service the interior lights cam on along with the radio. The truck started up and after calling the closest gm dealer which happen to be only a few miles away I made my way to the dealership service dept. They were quickly able to identify the problem as gm had issued a service bulletin #pit5405c on this type of issue. It was caused by dashboard fabric trim being caught under a ground post during assembly that resulted in loss of all electrical service. The truck had approx. 40,000 miles at the time of the event and it seems it took either two years or that reasonably low mileage before the problem surfaced. The dealer repaired the problem by simply losing a ground post and trimming out the fabric intrusion. They were great and apologized for what they saw as clearly a defect in manufacturing. They did charge as the truck was out of the 36,000 mile warranty but said I should contact gm customer service for help with the cost. Gm refused but it was only about $100.00 so that is not the issue. How can a company allow this problem to exist and be aware of it ( technical bulletin issued). It is a wonder that I or another motorist on the road with me was not hurt or worse. This not like a truck not starting but total loss of control at highway speed.

Electrical, get numerous warnings hood open, theft alert, air bag, transmission, horn beeps numerous all times of day evening, key fob afraid to lock doors have to reset numerous times to stop horn from sounding...pia electrical been to dealer put new battery in still problem still persists stared at 20,000 car now has 40,000 mls.
Dash lights would flicker along with headlights. When you would turn the wheel, the entire dash would go out like you turned off the key and then come right back on. Sometimes the truck would die in the road and died while turning and created near misses for accidents. When the system would come back on, it would disable the steering assist and cause the steering wheel to jerk back towards center. Took the truck to the dealer with video evidence of problem and they advised there was not recalls, service bulletins or even knowledge of a problem and wanted to charge $128.00 per hour flat rate to trouble shoot the problem. After doing some research at home, I found numerous issues with the same problems on forums and related back to a known ground issue under the dash that is labeled g218 where insulation or material is found under the ground nut creating a higher resistance. I was able to remove this material myself and correct the problem with no further issues. The scary part about this is, my daughter had the truck die on her a couple times in the middle of traffic and was almost in a wreck because of it. Gm refuses to accept their responsibility on this when it is a gm manufacture problem.
While driving with cruise control engaged and a signal light is used , cruise is disengaged or if the windows are rolled up or down then cruise will be disengaged. This action will also cause the instrument cluster to dim when the signal is used or windows rolled up or down. If I turn the vehicle off and restart the vehicle it will clear up and may go another hour before it does it again. This is getting progressively worse and sometimes flashes a warning in the drivers information center,stabilitrak disabled and steering assist disabled drive with caution. Again if I turn the vehicle off and restart it it will work just fine for a while. This does seem to happen more when I have driven the vehicle for at least one hour. This started happening approx 6 months ago with cruise being disengaged and the dash lights dimming while using the signal lights or the window switch. The stabilitrak and steering warnings started 03/19/2017. On 03/20/2017 I had driven the vehicle about 2 miles and was pulling into a parking spot at a low speed when the steering wheel was ripped from my hands. The last incident was on april 8th while pulling a trailer with the tow haul mode engaged. I was attempting to pass a vehicle and kicked the vehicle into passing gear when the stabilitrak and steering warning both came on .
The issue has occurred on two separate occasions. On both occasions the vehicle was in drive and moving. The vehicles steering capabilities malfunctioned and complete loss of steering occurred. After researching online, there were other owners of the same vehicle experiencing steering failure as well. There is video evidence on youtube to prove that this is a serious issue that needs to be corrected immediately. See "2014 chevy silverado stabilitrak issues part 4" on youtube to see what exactly is occurring.
Vehicle completely shut off when coming to a stop. Loss of steering power, etc. After restarting vehicle and after about 10 miles, the error popped up stating that the theft deterrent system had kicked in and the vehicle steering jerked me into another lane on interstate 485 at roughly 70 miles per hour.. Two days later vehicle would not start, but after getting out of the vehicle and re locking and unlocking the door several times, the vehicle started. Today again the vehicle would not start. System stated that the battery was low and that the theft deterrent system was now engaged. Had to jump the vehicle off to get it started again. Had battery checked and it checked out completely fine. It is my feeling that there seems to be an issues with the electrical or a ground somewhere. After reviewing this issue online, there seems to be several other vehicles out there with the same issue. Very dangerous for the steering to completely take over at 70 miles per hour.
I purchased this 2014 silverado pick up new. At about 20000 miles it began not starting, stopping while driving. When this happens the steering wheel is jerked out of my hands/ most of the recorded information is erased, the intrusion alarm icon is lit and must be cancelled. This has not happened at highway speed yet. I have been to several gm dealers. Complained to gm directly several times. I have many emails from me to gm and from gm to me. My local dealer has now refused to work on my vehicle. They put a computer on it and if there is no fault code they say "iif there isn't a code we wouldn't know where to start" (a direct quote) the vehicle now has 80000 miles and I have had to deal with this problem for some 60000 miles my wife and I both have cancer and must travel 233 miles one way for chemo and treatment every 28 days and I need a reliable vehicle. This truck was purchased to meet that need but has failed to live up to the hype from gm and the customer support is not satisfactory I need some help now.
After driving the truck for an hour and half I pulled into a parking lot, as I was turning to go down an aisle to park the truck interior lighting on the dash dimmed and the power steering died enough to jerk the steering wheel back and forth while turning. This almost caused me to hit another vehicle since I had no steering. I let the truck sit for a minute and then drove to an empty section of the parking lot and done a few slow figure eights seeing if the issue would happen again. After nothing happened I proceeded back to the parking area and again as I was pulling into a parking space the truck seemed to be losing power and the steering wheel was jerking out of my had uncontrollably to the point I could no longer steer the truck. The screen on the dash said it was caused by traction control but the ground was dry and paved. I again let the truck sit for a minute and was then able to park. After shopping I was able to drive to another stop and then home without any issues. When I was backing down my driveway an error message came up on the screen saying the backup safety devices were unavailable and the light on the dash started dimming again. The steering did not act up during backup mode. The dealer said there was a service bulletin out about the issue related to low voltage codes which they said my truck showed. They said the battery tested fine and chevrolet would not let them replace anything since they could not reproduce the issues. They did say they were replacing the negative battery cable though but would not say why they were replacing it.
Intermittently the steering wheel will yank from the driver's hands and warning errors for stabilitrak or traction control reported in center info screen, while the mylink screen goes blank. This typically occurs while maneuvering at low speeds in parking situations. The issue appears to be involving the vehicle's electronic steering assist and stability control systems. This is a major safety concern.
Since 05/02/2016 I have been dealing with crazy electrical problems. It started with head lights dimming at random times. Then driving down the road at 55mph with cruise control on, activite turn signal. When turn signal is activated the cruise control would cut off. Simulated 4 times to ensure there was a problem. Continued driving. At 30 MPH the air conditioning turned off, all dashboard lights & radio turned off but engine stayed running, 45 seconds later everything turned back on. At this time the wife freaked out & asked to park, scared for her safety & my own. Pulled forward to parallel park, went to put the vehicle in reverse. Before reverse was initiated the truck threw multiple warning lights (service stablitrak, assisted steering, etc). The dashboard lit up like a christmas tree. The steering wheel violently jerked & locked up. Then the engine cut off. Put the truck in park, turned key & started right back up with no warning lights, no low voltage indication and no problems. Gmc dealership could not replicate the problem & returned the vehicle to me within 2 days. This happened again on 07/05/2016. This time it was sent to chevrolet. They reprogrammed the steering wheel position sensor & checked the security of the wire harness. 07/11/2016 the vehicle locked up & shut off again in a starbucks drive through. This time locking myself & my family in the truck for 3 minutes. When ignition was turned, truck would not start, no lights would come on either. The truck acted dead. This time chevrolet replaced gas pedal. 10/31/16 the truck shutoff & locked up again. This time I took video to prove my case in hopes it would help the dealership. They tested battery and cables. 12/19/2016 it happened again & also smelt burning. Chevy replaced alternator cable & negative battery cable. Could not smell burning. 01/10/17. Engine fire caused by alternator and battery cable
Waited 12 years to afford a new truck and were stuck with this lemon. 14 active recalls paid over $1k for repair work not covered by warranty had the vehicle one year (2015) had to have the seats repaired. Air bag issues and the dealer said it wasn't covered either. As of today I have spent almost $3k on this truck for something that you wouldn't think a new truck would have to repair. The rear end went out at christmas (2016) really. Come on chevy you've gotta do better than this. Offer is something for our troubles. Will not buy or recommend a chevy product.
