2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 electrical complaints
Page 8 of 13: complaints 191 to 220 of 341, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While engaging slow idle speed turns, my 2014 silverado will occasionally completely lose all power steering and the engine will shut off completely. I have also had the same issue occur while driving straight and applying the brake or rolling up windows. During these terrifying situations, a message comes across the dash saying one or all of the following "electronic power steering reduced. Drive with caution" "stabilitrack" "trailer brakes". This issue seems to be very sporadic and unpredictable. I looked up possible solutions and had a mechanic fix a poor grounding connection under the dash which they thought could be the cause but did not resolve the problem. Please help!
Truck clicks when you try and start with the key you have to start with the remote start button on the key fob then put the key in
When warm voltage drops, warning lights go off such as stability & trailer brake. Lost steering & drove into my yard. Have had it looked at four times with no resolution. They can not find anything wrong.
While parked in a parking lot, the vehicle would not start. The truck mad a clicking sound and all lights lit up on dashboard, but no concise error message. Truck then started, but lost power when I put it into reverse with all lights coming on again. Turned off ignition and then the truck started. Drove the truck 2 miles to my home and when pulling into my driveway, the truck lost total power and nearly caused me to crash in to a parked vehicle. I was able to avoid the collision and I turned the key off in the ignition. I waited a minute and the truck started without issue. The next morning, the truck had the same issue starting - clicking sound but would not start. It finally started and I took it to my local shop to get a diagnosis. They could not find the issue. The next day, the same clicking noise occurred and it wouldn't start after multiple attempts. I called aaa to have my vehicle towed to the shop. When aaa came, the mechanic was able to start the vehicle. I then drove it to the repair shop for another diagnosis. They could not pinpoint the issue and recommended that I take the truck to the nearby chevrolet dealership, which I did. They had it for 2 days and could not find an issue - drove, tested, diagnosed multiple times to no avail. Truck also did not show any signs of power loss, etc. Today, for the fifth time in the last 8 days, there was an issue. Truck started normally, drove approx. 2 miles and parked. When attempting to start, the same problem occurred - clicking sound, lights lighting up on the dash board and this time, a stabiltrak error came on and off. Truck then started after 3 attempts so I drove it home. Went to restart and the clicking sound with lights on the dash lit up again. The power loss while driving has occurred 3 times in the past, but the vehicle started up with no other issues. Had this truck for 4 years with no issues until now.
I was about 10 minutes into my morning commute after remote starting my vehicle. I was stopped in a drive thru line. Started to smell electrical burning. Heard a loud pop and my rear window on the driver side of the slider had shattered and there was smoke coming from the lower center corner where the window meets the defroster connector.
Vehicle's electrical components malfunction and seem to short out then the entire vehicle shuts down. This is primarily when moving at slower speeds and making turns in either direction. The stabilitrak, park assists, turn indicators all shut off and warnings pop up on the dash. Shortly after that the vehicles electrical system shuts down entirely. From what I have read online this is due to an malfunctioning ground wire that the manufacturer did not install properly. The error is due to the sound proofing material getting in the way of the ground bolt and the vehicle. This is very dangerous as it has happened while turning left at an intersection and there is oncoming traffic. This has happened multiple times to me over the last few months and most recently, yesterday, 5/20.
The truck continues to shut off when ever im driving it no matter where I'm at. On the freeway or making a turn it will just shut off. Everything goes dead.
After 1 hour of driving and stopping at a intersection truck decided to shut down at the intersection causing me to almost be involved in a accident since I was dead in the middle of intersection without warning or reason I had just accelerated through light when truck shut down
My 2014 chevy silverado suffers from the same loss of power steering issue gm just issued a recall for in sept. Of 2018 for the 2015 model of the silverado. When attempting to park or performing low speed turns the power steering with fail making it incredibly difficult to safely control the vehicle. When on the highway using cruise control, the cruise control had failed without warning and the steering locks up for a moment when this happens. This is a serious safety issue affecting more vehicles than just the 2015 models, and the recall should be expanded to include all affected year models. This issue happens intermittently without warning, and occurs multiple times a week. I purchased this vehicle in dec of 2017, and the issue has been present since my ownership.
Loss of steering; steering wheel locking up and jerking out of my hands while making a turn. Headlights AC and radio cutting off. Multiple warnings including stabilitrac and power steering assist. Engine failure. This happens at low speeds and turning. I took it to the dealer ship today and they said that it fried my battery and cables and fuse but theydont know the reason why this is happening. This is almost $700 out of pocket with no garuntee problem solved. My truck has 32,000 miles 2014 chevy silverado lt 1500. When pulling into the dealership this morning, everything listed above happened and thankfully it reciprocated when the mechanic tested it. It threw off ten different codes .
This vehicle has had a previous recall for power steering failure at low speeds due to voltage issues. The recall and software update was performed in september of 2017. I have recently been experiencing the same symptoms from the previous recall. I have noticed when driving at low speeds I will temporarily loose power steering. This has happened approximately 5 times in the last month. It usually occurs when I am in a parking lot, pulling into a parking space, at low speeds 5-10 MPH, and when I am turning. The power steering stops working for a second or so and then comes right back. I have also noticed while traveling on the highway or interstate my headlights flickering as if there is a low voltage issue. The voltage meter has been in the normal operating range, and I have had no warning lights or alarms when these incidents have occurred. Most recent incident occurred today 4/30/19 when pulling into a parking space at a local restaurant.
Approx. 1 week ago while driving on a city street, stabilitrak error pops up on screen and power steering goes out while attempting to park. A few days later while driving on highway with cruise control on and engaged, stabilitrak error displays again. Initiated my turn signal to signal lane change which disengaged the cruise control. A couple of days later, while driving on the highway with cruise control on but not engaged, the cruise control engaged on it's own causing the engine to rev as an attempt was made to slow the vehicle. Dealership says it might be negative battery cable assembly and fuse block and said it would cost me $768 but there is no guarantee it will fix the problem and is likely just the starting point. Had the recall done back in august of 2018 for the loss of power steering (where they simply erased the software and loaded new software) so the dealership takes no responsibility for the issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the theft deterrent warning message displayed "please roll down driver window". The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road. When the vehicle was restarted, it was able to drive normally. In addition, the oil pressure gauge fluctuated and returned to normal. Hudiburg chevrolet (located at 6000 tinker diagonal, midwest city, ok 73110, (844) 362-3330) was called, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
While driving vehicle turns off by itself, locking steering wheel and everything going blank. After a minute or so vehicle will turn back on.
Mileage: approx. 43600 twice this past week while driving, both on wednesday, the electronics completely shut down 'no engine, no steering, no nothing'! Electronics returned much like there was an 'auto-reset' breaker. On friday morning briefly would not start and signaled a perimeter reading. My wife was with me on both occurrences and continued the issue with cliff when the truck was returned without a repair of the issue. Her point was simple, the vehicle could cause a deadly accident. Upon returning home susan researched the internet and found the problem was mentioned with only two mentions of potential repairs that made little sense; I.e., a fly wheel sensor, the negative battery cable assembly, a repair of g218 ground, etc .
I purchased this truck used 3 mo ago, from a dealer with ~101,000 mi on it. In the past several weeks I have had multiple electrical problems, affecting multiple systems. Initially, the problems involved the stabilitrack and power steering dash warnings alarming, with a slight change in responsiveness of the steering. It has progressed to complete loss of electrical power (dash, AC, radio, everything goes out, loss of power assisted steerin, and 2/3 times with the vehicle requiring being restarted manually (engine had also shut down). Typically after the electrical flicker either the stabilitrack, the power steering or both messages with alarm. This has generally happened when approaching a stop, somewhere between 20 MPH and 5 MPH, but it next originates after the vehicle has stopped. 2 of the 3 times also included stopping with a gentle turn, as approaching a stop, from which I would then turn. One of the electrical flickers occurred on the freeway while in heavy traffic. I have been unable to capture a picture as this is occurring while driving, and the warning indicator turns off after 3-5 seconds.
On 4/2/2019 while traveling at 45 MPH, slowed to make left turn. While midway through intersection, engine died, dash lights went out, power steering and brakes gone. Within seconds everything powered back up and engine resumed as if nothing happened. Warning indicators words flashed briefly. I caught "stabilitrack". I drove for another mile and as I was entering driveway about 5 MPH and while driving straight, engine and dash lights went off again and restarted again. Prior to all this headlights were flickering and there was a little deadening in the power steering. Truck had 72,950 miles. I checked the grounding points and cleared out the deadening material that slightly impeded it. Not sure this will help. This is actually the second time this has happened. On 6/22/18 at 64,888 miles, I had a similar problem. At that time took it in to shop. They tightened the grounding bolts (g218) and cleaned the battery terminals. I guess it helped until recently. It cost $180.
Vehicle has several electrical issues. First, power steering fails at low speed turns. Then, the car occasionally loses all electrical power (screens, gauges, lights, starter, garage door opener) while parked and off. Then last week, it lost all electrical power at 70+ MPH on the highway. Lost power steering, all screens turned off, gauges when to zero, etc. This lasted for about 3 seconds and then everything came back on. Many warning lights including power steering, traction control, parking assist disabled. This also gave a 4wd service warning. Now, I get the service 4wd warning every time I start the vehicle and it will not go into 4 wd.
My truck shut off while driving. Mostly when making turns. The steering becomes stiff also.
Complete loss of electrical power, power steering, air bags, ABS, traction control, and stereo. Had to have vehicle jump started to make to home.
Cruise control will shut off when using turning signal or rolling up windows. It is very dangerous in busy interstate traffic. Service stabli track and steering assist reduced will come up on display. Power steering is intermittent when turning. Headlights flicker when turning signals are used. Truck will completely shut down for a split second while driving then everything comes back on, complete loss of control when this happens. When knob for headlights is turned from auto to on position the dash and instrument panel gets dim and stabli track and reduced steering assist message comes on. Rear passenger door will not lock using fob, sometimes I will have to hit the unlock button multiple times before door will unlock after lock has been manually pushed down. Passenger seat belt ding is also intermittent, sometimes it will not work at all. My truck just now started having all of these issues at the exact same time. We drove from texas to kentucky and back to texas and these issues all started during this trip. It is not safe for my family, I have always bought chevrolet and currently own this truck and a tahoe but they may be my last. All bulbs are good, all fuses and relays are good. Truck now has 66000 miles on it. Battery was replaced around 59000 miles. Seems to be a wiring or ECM (computer) issue to me. I see many complaints similar to mine but yet no recalls have been issued for my VIN number.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the steering icon flashed and a lock indicator displayed. Also, the brake light flashed and various unknown warning indicators flickered on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the steering seized when the steering wheel was turned to the left. In addition, the brakes failed to function properly and excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Team lake road auto sales (13988 conneaut lake rd, conneaut lake, pa 16316, (814) 382-9336) was notified of the failures and kept the vehicle for over three weeks. A loaner vehicle was provided. The contact had not received any specific technical guidelines regarding diagnosis and repairs. The dealer released the vehicle back to the owner and the failures recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and a second loaner vehicle was provided; however, the vehicle was returned without being repaired. The dealer indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced before it was purchased per the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). The contact informed the dealer several times that the remedy failed, but did not receive any recourse. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: pe18012 (service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). The manufacturer had not issued any brake system recalls for this year, make, and model vehicle and the VIN was not included in the four electrical system recalls and two steering recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. The failure mileage was not available.

: the power steering system temporarily fail without warning during operation, causing the amount of effort needed to turn the wheel to fluctuate dramatically during the maneuver as the power steering system cycles on and off. The issue is especially prevalent during low-speed maneuvers and can be accompanied by the failure of other systems such as the radio, stability control, door-lock cycling, air condition or cruise control. This happens randomly, when I'm parking or making a turn. I almost crashed into a vehicle in mid turn as I lost power steering and the vehicle shut off. I put it in park and restarted the truck.
The powers steering goes out when pulling into a parking space . The car has completely turned off while waiting to make a left turn , seems to be effected by turning the blinkers on ? , it's like there is a complete glitch in the electrical system ?
