2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 steering complaints
Page 12 of 15: complaints 311 to 340 of 408, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the contact experienced an intermittent loss of steering. Once the failure occurred, the power steering would quickly return to normal. The vehicle was taken to quirk chevrolet in braintree ma. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v246000 (steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 73,600.
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 was in a parking lot turning into a horizontal parking spot moving less than 5 MPH. During the turn the steering wheel broke loose spinning 360 degrees, the wheels stayed at roughly a 45 degree angle with the turn I was making, & the truck stalled. When I brought the truck to the dealership they said that there are plastic/nylon screws that had broken that caused the issue. While there is no recall yet, I believe it's something to look at.

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.
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.
The rack and panion keeps on going out on these trucks and gm needs to make a recall on so many people having the same problem
Pops when turning left.
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

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.

Please see attached documents on how to fix the recall associated with gm recall #: n172085440. I have attached an electrical schematic showing the location of the g218 ground which is causing the electrical issues associated with this recall. I also attached a ground location view showing the location of the g218 ground stud inside the truck. When the truck came straight from the manufacturer, this g218 ground stud was surrounded by sound deadening material which is causing the short in the electrical system and causing steering issues.
