When I take low speed turns, either going forward or backwards, the power steering starts going in and out and the radio will turn off. Sometime the whole vehicle will shut off or just turn off then right back on. The stability track messege pops up on the dash. When this happens my vehicle will reset itself.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 steering complaints
Page 5 of 15: complaints 101 to 130 of 408, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle's electrical system will fail while driving, it may fail during ignition, and it may fail immediately after shutdown. These failures are catastrophic. All systems in the vehicle fail at once. All steering and braking assistance, all lights, HVAC, ignition, fuel delivery, all electrical systems are affected by this dysfunction. This is highly dangerous as it can and does occur while driving at highway as well as residential speeds. Associated failures include various dash modules unresponsive or off intermittently, stabilitrac service message, action needed message: roll down then up driver window, exterior and interior lighting including headlights flickering and dimming, frozen or glitched or otherwise unresponsive radio, steering wheel forcefully jerking without input from driver or road, 'traction off' indicators. All issues are sporadic, chronic, and debilitating. Vehicle has delivered stabilitrak messages and momentarily tripped all electronics while driving as well. Not every failure is complete, some glitches in the electrical may persistently occur under normal driving conditions, this puts un due strain on the attention, mindfulness, and peace a driver is reasonably expected to achieve in any vehicle. This has also been a precursor to complete failure and great care must be taken to remove the vehicle from roadways and traffic.
Have had the vehicle at piles chevy and dan cummins chevy multiple times along with tire discounters everyone says vehicle is in spec and the shaking at 70 to 75 MPH is normal however I've owned multiple vehicles non of them has ever had this issue I can't get the dealer to fix it they only say it's a known issue truck only has 57000 miles on it.
The vehicle will be in motion and when I try to turn onto a street, or into a parking lot, a warning for service stabilitrak will come on, the steering wheel will lock up, the A/C will turn off, the lcd radio display will go blank, and my headlights will flicker and or turn off. Sometimes the truck shuts off. Has almost caused 2-3 accidents so far... Also while traveling at highway speeds, if I have the cruise control on and I put on my turn signal it will turn off the cruise control, and flicker my radio lcd display, and also cause a service stabilitrak warning. Sometimes when I apply the brake, my headlights will flicker, or turn off. Clearly an electrical issue. When researching the problem online there appears to be a recall for other silverado's with these same issues, but there isn't one currently under my VIN number, however it appears to be the same problem. This has been an ongoing problem and is getting worse. The problem first started around 88,000 miles
Long story short. This is a weekly issue that I no longer feel safe in this truck. Last year about 5/2020 I took it on a 6 hour-round trip drive. The highway is 70 miles per hour. About midway back home the truck jerked hard and shut off for a second and turned back on. While I was driving on the highway at 70mph! I pulled over to make sure everything was still "okay" to drive home for the next 2 hours. I am very lucky that, that did not result into a serious collision. I had a full truck of people including a child along with a 4x4 in the bed of the truck. This continues to be an on going issue with the "stabilitrack" alert always coming on every second. Another occasion I was pulling into a parking lot when half-way through the entrance way, the truck shut off, completely. None of the lights turned on, the truck would not turn on for a good 10 minutes. I was blocking the entrance and there was nothing I could do about it. Then just recently I notice that my lights, all lights flicker when I move the steering wheel or when I step on the break and gas pedals. If I drive it long enough all sound is off even though the volume is up. Then when I need to make any turn, any direction, the wheel becomes hard to turn to the point where I cannot move the steering wheel then it shuts off again. I have been lucky that I have not been in a serious collison due to this. I see a lot of complaints regarding the same issues I have. I have two small children and if this truck is the reason we get injured, I will be seeking legal action. I have taken it in to a local dealership with my concerns but the diagnostics never bring up an issue.
Steering wheel sometimes dosen't want to turn at lower speed or when yu want to park in like a parking lot
Happens 3-4 a week when driving: I turn turn signal on and headlights flicker truck feels like losses power, if making a u-turn steering wheel gets hard and truck feels like stalling out. On highway going 65mph stabilitrak light flashed twice and truck felt sluggish very brief. When exiting highway and turning onto city street at 30mph very briefly the truck lost power and steering was like stuck, almost caused accident, truck felt like it turned off and on and jolted forward very hard and went back to normal. When I pulled into a parking lot the stabilitrak light came back on and truck stalled briefly again while turning at 15mph, all dash lights came on and power steering lost, truck went back to normal on its own.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that upon coming to a complete stop, the power steering became firm while depressing the accelerator pedal. The power steering assist warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to platinum chevrolet (3001 corby ave, santa rosa, ca 95407) where the contact was informed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Vehicle was in motion with the steering wheel turned into position to maneuver a reverse park. Vehicle loses all power and unable to restart, but the lights flicker. G218 ground is possibly the cause. Nonetheless, this is a highly unsafe and dangerous manufacturer flaw. The following is a public resource I used to identify the possible cause.

The power steering goes out and when this happens , the truck stalls. The truck was in motion on a city street while turning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while her son was driving approximately 7 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering which made the steering wheel difficult to turn which resulted in a crash with another vehicle that was parked. A police report was filed. The traction control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to local dealer. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v414000 (steering) however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of failure and told the contact that their vehicle had no recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 134,231.
Truck displays loss of power steering and shuts off everything electrical. When I'm driving at any speeds and turn steering way to fast to either side I'll get message stability trak turned off and followed by radio losing power. Sometimes truck shuts off completely and sometimes truck just acts like it wants to shut off but remains on. There's times where I'll get the message for driver window to roll up and down and windows lose power. I've taken truck to dealership several of times just to lose out on money every time because they haven't fixed the problem and just keep charging.
Driving down hill at 25 MPH and all of a sudden I lost control of my power steering. Fortunately I was able to stop just before hitting an embankment. The repair requires a complete electrical assist component. Quote of $1,750.00 on august 2017 I received a recall for the eps assist. The software was completed by kendall chevy in august of that year.
Whenever pulling into parking lot slowly or reverse parking complete loss of power, have to put in park to restart vehicle. Usually while turning vehicle happens at least once a day.
While truck is traveling down road truck looses power shuts off, dash goes blank, loses power steering. Very dangerous.
This problem was a recall and was repaired before at no cost. Now it is happening again. I took a 100 mile round trip day trip...on the way back I got a steering warning that flashed 2 times on my dashboard while going 75 MPH on the highway. Then when turning into my subdivision the truck stalled and I lost all power steering. This happened one other time in a home depot parking lot. I feel the truck is unsafe to drive. And I haul a 36 foot travel trailer occasionally. Obviously this is the second time the same thing has happened...the first time it was a free recall repair...please advise on how to proceed. I plan to trade the truck in asap due to the fact that my husband and I are up in age and no longer able to travel.
At low speeds especially when turning, a sudden loss of steering control happens. It becomes really hard to turn the vehicle. Then a few different messages pop up "stabilitrak" and "parking assist is of" and sometimes the truck completely turns off while I'm driving and no matter where I am I have to put it in park and turn the truck back on. This has happened to me about 7 times in the last two weeks.
Truck loses powering steering in slow turn maneuvers. Also occasionally the truck will lose all power and turn off randomly while driving. In addition headlights and panel lights dim when turning steering wheel and braking.
Lost steering capability while making a u-turn on a city street
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.
When I'm driving the truck the steering wheel turn to the right side very dangerous when you are driving 45 to 70 miles I'm call the dealer and no recall for this problem
Stabilitrak off window randomly appeared on my dash. Followed by radio shutting off, wipers going erratically, horn honking, steering wheel locked up, and cruise control shut off all as I was driving on a major highway
Multiple times moving at slow speeds the vehicle shuts off and all kinds of warnings pop up. Service power steering, service stabilitrak, service trailer brake controller, check engine light ect. When the vehicle does this it loses all power and the steering wheel violently jerks itself to one side. You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Silverado 2014 crew cab 5.3 with 79500 miles
While backing up or parked steering wheel gets really hard and the lights go dim radio turns off and a sign in the monitor showing steering assist is reduced drive with care

You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Pulling into a parking space at a local gas station it almost jerked me into a parked car. Luckily it hasn't happened at a high rate of speed or it will certainly lead to serious injury or death. There are multiple complaints on the net on multiple forums for this specific issue for these specific models and years. My truck has roughly 44000 miles on it. I feel as if I'm getting the runaround at the dealership. Like I stated earlier this has happened multiple times to me and there are thousands out there in the same situation as me. This is a serious safety concern that gm needs to address and fix.
My steering wheel locked up and lost control of steering
It is too bad I can not check all that apply! I have the same problems as other people loosing steering and getting the stabiltrack message at low speeds. When this happens you loose all power and the lights all dim. I also have begun to noticed that while driving down the highway in cruise control any turn of the vehicle with the steering wheel kills the cruise control. I also have the trailer, break system message flash randomly at low speeds without a trailer or pulling anything this is just annoying the other problems are major safety issues!!! I have had this truck in the dealership several times had very poor customer service and wasn't even told about the recalls that were on it. However, I don't seem to see any recalls for the problems that I have and that thousands of other people are describing with the electrical issue and stabiltrack at low speeds. I also want to add that the rear seatbelts in this vehicle are complete junk.
When driving down the street every time I slowed down to do a turn or stopped at a stop sign my steering wheel locked up and my truck turned off on its own. It only did this when I slowed down to turn and to stop. It happened 3 times back to back.
Numerous incidents while driving and making a turn into a public parking lot from a 55 MPH hwy, all power went off, engine died and just before this steering was very hard to turn, stabil track light has been coming on. Gm dealer stated maybe bad battery, I had the new battery checked and it is good
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the stibili-trac warning light flashed while turning the steering wheel before the steering wheel suddenly became very difficult to turn in either direction. While merging into traffic, several dashboard warning lights were displayed while the doors erroneously unlocked. The driver almost lost control of the vehicle due to the loss of power steering and power brakes. After stopping the vehicle and switching to the park position, the vehicle suddenly shutoff and could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer atlantic cadillac located at 1350 sunrise hwy, bayshore, ny 11706, however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or determine the cause of the failures. The battery was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but, no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 60,000.
