The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds on several occasions, the vehicle lost power steering assist. While driving 55 MPH, the failure recurred, nearly causing a semi-truck to crash into the vehicle and causing the vehicle to veer off the ramp. The contact's dog jumped out of the vehicle into the bushes and sustained a minor injury. The Brake Assist, ABS, Stabili-trak, and power steering assist warning lights illuminated, and the message "Electronic Steering Failure" was displayed after the failure. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as intended. Additionally, the contact stated that the ABS seemed to fail to operate as intended. A dealer was contacted by phone and stated that the power steering control module might need to be replaced.

Takata recall, parking assist sensors quit working. Abs lights stay on with the alert "service stabilitrak". Manufacture faulty electrical ground is possibly the source of the problem. My truck is not even 5 years old yet. There have already been a lot of reports of this same issue by other owners. This is a safety problem that can cause collisions when depending on this feature to work.

We had the vehicle recall notice about the stability and power assist repaired at our preferred gm dealership, james wood, before the problem occurred because of a recall notice we received last year. Sunday, january 30, 2018 the dash displayed power assist limited and also displayed ABS light . Service engine soon, so we brought it to the dealership again. This time the vehicle was revving high but no display. The dealership observed the vehicle doing this but we were told the recall had already been performed. There is a revised product safety recall reference number n172085440. I'm alerting the federal safety agency of this.
