The component or system is the Electronic Power Steering System and my vehicle is available for inspection at any time needed. Although this started last week and is happening randomly it has happened three times all in the last week. While making a turn I lose all power steering, in fact all power and have to try to maneuver the truck safely. This is the same issue that GM issued a recall for GM recall 18289. the federal safety agency Campaign # 18V586. This problem is very dangerous and I almost collided head on due to this problem when leaving work and in a turning zone. The first time it happened my mom said it jerked the steering wheel. lost all power and she had to manhandle it to keep from hitting a child that was walking across the parking lot at a Dollar General store. I need to see about getting my truck fixed for this recall before someone is killed. My VIN may not be listed on the recall but the exact same thing is happening and I sure would hate to see someone killed before this is fixed. Mighty strange that my VIN is not listed but same exact thing is happening with the electronic power steering (EPS). I am asking for your help in guiding me to getting this fixed. Two other known issues with this vehicle have also happened. One was valve collapsed and I was able to get that fixed under warranty cause I only had the truck for a short time. I've spoken with dealership and they say vehicle charge to look at the vehicle would be $159.95 and that will be applied to repair cost but mechanics would have to determine if my issue is considered under the recall. I can almost surely guess what that answer will be. Please assist me in the direction I need to go to get this fixed.

When turning on defroster heard a buzzing/hissing/sizzling sounds. Rear defroster wires extremely hot and burning smell coming from wires. GM knows about this problem but only issued a recall in Canada and I am in US
Recently purchased a 2015 Chevy. The truck in is excellent condition , garage kept. problem is the horn. It stops working after it rains, or after we wash . We have almost had several wrecks due to the horn not working. The water runs down the seam of the hood and drips in the switch. That in return keeps the horn from working. I feel unsafe in the vehicle. At anytime people pull out in front of us or anything from around us. We have no way to warn nor get their attention. Any help in soling this problem would be greatly apricated. Thank You [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Truck stalles when wheel is turned at idle or low speed. No warning just dies. No problem restarting.
I own a 2015 Chevy Silverado LD. There was a recall that included (among other vehicles) the 2014 Silverado LD and the 2015 Silverado HD but not the 2015 LD. It is for the base radio audio output not working causing audible safety warnings to not work as well. I have this problem on my truck. I took the truck to a local dealership but they claimed to have no knowledge of this faulty condition.
There was a buzzing from rear window while defroster was ON. Upon closer inspection, there was smoke coming from the defroster electrical connections while on and there was an electrical arcing sound present.
Service trailer brake system warning will come up on screen when there’s nothing wrong with it. It is completely random and distracts you from driving with 3 loud chimes and no way to change to volume of the chimes. Most times it will come on 5-10 times in a row and then go away. I’ve tried fixing it like countless others but no success. The chimes are so loud and distracting it causes headaches and frustration

While driving at low speeds (approx 5-10 mph) the brake pedal became stiff and very difficult to stop. This issue happened with no prior warning or indication of the issue. As a result of this issue severe damage to personal property housing and vehicles was nearly missed. Upon research this has been a common issue for GM vehicles specifically trucks and SUVs.
Turned my truck on and rear defrost was active. Sizzling sound started occurring in rear window. Inspected sound and saw a small amber electrical fire starting. Immediately turned off defroster. After about 10 seconds I heard a loud “pop” noise and saw that the rear driver’s side of the rear window was shattered.
Rear window defroster began to SMOKE while being on for a few minutes (under 6). Smoke was visible next to sliding window.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving and making a turn in the driveway, the vehicle lost electrical power inadvertently. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after approximately two minutes. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving and making a turn. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while his wife was driving on a busy road. The contact’s wife was unable to veer to the side of the road. The contact’s wife was able to restart the vehicle after approximately four minutes. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000. The contact stated that the battery and the power distribution fuse box have been replaced.
My control panel keeps flicking the radio with phantom touches to the touch screen. It is making all sorts of gyrations, shifting over to my speed indicator screen, at times, the radio turns on by itself, very loud. I find online that many people are having similar issues with this condition. This is very distracting to the driver while driving on the highway, it should be considered a safety issue. Can you please research how many vehicles are having this issue? Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Trailer brake system I have owned this Chevy Silverado 2015 since 2018 when I purchased it certified from a used car dealership in upstate New York. About one year into owning the vehicle I started to experience an alarm that was flash trailer brake system. This alarm would beep and flash in my center consul restricting me from sight distracting me from driving and is almost impossible to drive the car without distraction. I checked YouTube I called the manufacture I did so much to figure out what was going on and why this was happening considering I do not show any thing I did not understand why the trailer brake would cause such a problem considering I never told anything.After about three months of driving the car this trailer brake system alarm stopped. Now recently 2022 the trailer break system alarm is back and flashes nonstop and is relentless. I cannot listen to music I cannot hear my own self think the alarm is so loud and so distracting I would rather walk to the store then drive the truck I am forced to drive this truck because of the fact that I need to get to work but the safety hazards that are now limiting me and I am afraid this is going to cause a major accident or loss of life. I recently discovered that this is a manufacturers wire harness malfunction due to faulty wiring and a low-grade wire harness system. Before this gets any worse I need some sort of help. Knowing that it is impossible to fix without thousands of dollars being spent and finding a specific electrical auto technician to fix it it is nearly impossible to have this fixed Chevy refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem I need someone to please help me and the other Chevy Silverado owners to get this under recall so that these wire harnesses can be replaced please help us my name is [XXX] my address [XXX] [XXX] is my cell phone number INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The electrical system randomly shuts down. It has done this multiple times in the past several months. Everything shuts off, including engine, power steering, etc. It has done this both while sitting idle and when driving. Most times, it will come back on after a few seconds but I have had to coast off the roadway, and have it towed back home. This is VERY DANGEROUS!!! Fortunately, the times it has shut down while driving has been during daylight hours because if this were to happen at night, I would lose all lights, therefore making a serious crash almost certain.
the federal safety agency campaign number 18V586. GM’s recall is 18289. Power steering at low speeds with voltage drop causes power steering to lose control
While driving my dash and power steering would go out suddenly without any warning and last for several minutes before regaining electrical power. Engine would still be operating and I was still able to drive it but I lost all power and electrical indicators when it would happen.
Service Trailer Brake light comes on continuously making it very distractive when driving no matter if you dismiss the message on the dash.
While driving, engine running - the whole electrical system including the engine just stop - totally dead including lack of power steering. Several times it was a fraction of a second, and then all systems came back on and engine resumed running. Another time, I had to coast off the road and try to steer without PS. After waiting a bit, the engine restarted. Even though you only ask for 1 date, this has happened several times. Most recent was yesterday, 5/2/2022. Before that it was March 13, 2022. Before that, I believe it was several years ago.
The truck just shut down for no reason,then can not turn it or can not use the brakes to stop it,then will not start,then it will start in time.
steering and braking stops working during low speed. AC stops working and several components flash a warning message Trailer hitch and stabilizer and engine light appears sporadically. It shows that I do not have recalls but I believe the repairs in the past were not done correctly. old software or a electrical short from an faulty part!!!!!

The service trailer brake system alarm goes off constantly while driving when trailer is not attached to vehicle. You can dismiss the warning but the alarm comes back. It’s a loud audible beeping that takes your eyes off the road.
I’ve only owned my 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 for 8 months now and I’ve been noticing my paint starting to bubble and I popped one and water came pouring out I have also had to change my left rear turn signal twice my top light socket keeps melting and you can just buy a pig tail you have to get all three light sockets and they are 136.89 and the sound in the truck don’t also work if the truck sits longer then 5 hours I have no sound and I’ve replaced battery already I also will get a clicking noise from under the steering wheel when the truck turns off it lasts from 1 min to 15 mins and stops thank you
The truck would take off on its own. The steering column would lock up, and the brakes would fail. The transmission is currently slipping an d these are just a few thing that are/have happened.
Service trailer park system
The rear window defroster melted and started to smoke and then the rear window exploded.
While slowing down to make a right turn the engine stalled and the electrical power was lost rendering the power steering inoperable. The loss of power steering created a dangerous situation where I almost hit a tree. Also there has been several occasions while driving on the freeway the electrical power stalled. Thankfully it was only for less than two seconds, but I can't imagine what would have happened on a busy freeway had it not been only a temporary loss of power. I read online that these problems are not uncommon. I have taken the truck to a Chevy dealer where they replaced battery cables they said had some resistance in them. It's been a month since the repair ($1300 later) was made and have not experienced any problem since. After experiencing these "power failers", there would be a message on the dash that would state "OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW'
Seal deteriorated on 3rd brake light at top of cab, allowing water inside the light and the vehicle. Concerned about possible wire/electrical short circuit.
Faulty trailer wire harness that can result in loss of brakes while towing as well as a constant distraction
