Gauges flicker, headlights dim when hitting breaks, stability traction comes on, 4x4 has locked in. Truck has lost all power. Had to reset truck by removing battery cable from battery for a short period.
2014 GMC Sierra 1500 driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 61, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This incident occurred 4-5 times over the last week driving between 25-40 MPH. While driving, a warning or notification pops up on the dashboard screen stating stabilitrack off or steering assist off, which stiffens the steering wheel and I can't turn the truck at all. At one point, the notifications popped up and then my A/C went off and radio went off along with my entire vehicle. I had to slam on my brakes, place the vehicle in park, and then restart at which point it came back on and worked until I could pull over and assess what had occurred. I attempted to call gmc customer service (800‑996‑9463) and advise them of the problem and they acknowledged a recall (#17276 - loss of steering assist), but it didn't apply to my VIN#. It only applied to 2014 models of both chevrolet silverado ld and gmc sierra ld vehicles, whereas my vehicle is a 2014 gmc sierra ltd. They advised that a gmc dealer could "reprogram the eps module software", but the cost would come out of my pocket and they wouldn't acknowledge any fault or recall issue. My concern is obviously the fact I have kids and transport them to and from school and sporting events. I couldn't even imagine this happening with children in the vehicle and causing an accident or worse injuries to passengers or the driver. This is a major safety issue, and I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed or acknowledged by gmc.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering ceased intermittently, while the stability track control and steering reduce power warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to cambe chevrolet buick 704 s heaton st, knox, in 46534, (574)207-4109, to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The battery was replaced and the electronic power steering module software was updated however, the failure recurred. The federal safety agency campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes) and the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v414000(steering) were referenced as a possible solution to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivates, power steering assist deactivates and the steering becomes very difficult, airbags deactivate, turn signals become inoperable, radio shuts off, air conditioning shuts off. This happens while at speed on the highway and at slow speeds. It is especially dangerous when making slow turns as the power steering gives out and the truck instantly becomes nearly uncontrollable (uncontrollable for my wife) in the middle of the turn. I have taken the truck to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong and the best they could do was perform a service bulletin. Issue was not corrected. I found that there was a new bulletin that had a fix for the g218 ground. I cut back the sound deadening from the ground, yet that did not fix the issue either. The truck has done this dozens of times and is incredibly unsafe to drive. How can losing steering, airbags, stability control, turn signals, etc. Not be a safety concern?
Intermittent stalling, ( complete shut down at freeway speeds). No engine, no power steering or brakes, windows will not operate, no emergency flashers, no dash re-out, will not turn over. Happens at any time while in motion. Has placed myself, my wife & other drivers in danger numerous times.
The airbag and stabilitrack lights come on and off then the door bell rings,every 3 seconds sometimes for continues 15 to 25 times while driving,started at 13331 miles. The dealer refuses to fix unless I pay for it
While driving and making a low speed turn the power steering fails and the vehicle shuts off and all doors are locked no power at all for about 40 seconds. Then it comes back and a code comes up to roll drivers side window down and than up again and it resets this has happened 5 times in the last three weeks 3 times on the street and 2 times while turning into shopping malls just purchased vehicle a bout a year ago the dealership wants 100 dollars just to look at it its a gmc sierra 1500 2014 please help I have read this is a problem afraid to drive vehicle for fear of getting into an accident because you can not access the hazard lights .
**beware** I own a 2014 gmc sierra denali that abruptly shuts off on me while driving with no warning. I took in into the delearship and they stated that they fixed it. About a little over a year later it started acting up again off and on. I didnt want to deal with the dealership because they always say "it is not covered under warranty" although it only got worse. I ended up taking it back to the delearship recently because it got to the point where my truck was shutting off on me every day in the middle of the road. This was an accident waiting to happen! The dealership after over one week finally found that it is an electrical harness issue, sending the wrong signals causing my truck to abruptly shut off. They are charging me over $900. This should be a recall! How in the world is this not covered through gmc! I will never purchase a gmc vehicle again.
During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivated and power steering assist deactivated flashes on dash. The air conditioner and radio flash off. Lose power steering. The whole truck shut off also once while reversing, went from park to reverse and shut off. This had been very dangerous, as it happened also while going 70 MPH on the highway.
Slowing down to park on a street and lost steering and lights flickering, I just had recall reprogrammed &serviced 60 days ago, driver assist service lights also on and parking.I nearly crashed twice so far I need my vehicle for transportation and would like help with this immediately ,for it is a pricey luxurious vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the service stabilitrac warning indicator illuminated, the door locks activated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned off and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124.
Lost of power steering
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.
The gmc sierra truck will loose power steering while it is being driven. This has occurred three times so far. There appears to be some type of electrical error with the trailer brake. Then, numerous warning lights come on and the truck looses power steering. It is dangerous and difficult to drive at that point. It is random. The truck will connect again and everything will function like normal. The truck was taken to a gm dealership and they said there was communication errors. The fuse block was replaced for almost 600 dollars. Then, the vehicle did the same thing again after that repair. I took it back to the same dealer. The vehicle was at their shop for 8 days. They were unable to get the error so no repairs were made. I have contacted gm corp on three occasions. The senior advisor assigned to my case has not ever contacted me about the issue. They advised that someone with gm would contact me in 2 days. It has been over 8 days. Picking the vehicle back up from the dealer. This is a safety hazard. I feel that the gm engineers have knowledge about these issues but no one will even call me back. There is some electrical glitch that can cause the vehicle to loose its power steering. Research shows that 690,000 trucks were recalled in 2017 in reference to recall # 17276 . The dealership advised that my truck received the necessary items for that in 2017. I don't know what to do. I currently have a truck that is not safe and gm doesn't seem to be concerned about it. It is a safety hazard. I'm sure other truck owners have had similar issues. I do not want someone to be injured or killed because gm will not step up and handle this issue. I lost power steering on may 14th, 15th and 23rd 2019.
All happened same day. Was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times. Has not occurred since. But when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly. Still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. Have never had a check engine light come on. I am having it checked out this week.
The vacuum assist pump on my 2014 gmc sierra went out suddenly during my morning commute. The brake pedal became very firm and the brakes were unresponsive. If I had been driving in an congested area an accident would likely occur.
While driving the vehicle is losing power in the steering wheel, prompting the stabilitrac warning light to come on. This happens while driving at any speed, while turning and while going in reverse
My 2014 gmc sierra shuts off while driving on the interstate with my family. In some cases all electrical blinks and it continues to drive while temporarily losing power steering and other features and other times turning off completely until coming to a stop. The dealership wants ~$400 to do diagnostics on a g218 bolt that they were told by gmc that it is related to. This issue came from the factory this way. While not wanting to pay that for the diagnostic and researching myself, I found 100s of videos online similar to the one below which shows this issue happening to owners of the gmc trucks. When I spoke with gmc customer care about this, they told me that there were no recalls on the issue. There are going to be truck owners that lose their life along with any passengers if this issue is not taken care. I am very scare for our safety and the safety of countless others like the link below have posted about this known issue.

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.
Was driving down the highway at highway speeds rolled the passenger window up the stereo cut off the gauges cut out and the wipers wipes in one time. Then a message stating stabilitrak needed to be serviced and electronic power steering was out
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering seized and the stability warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to classic buick gmc arlington (1400 e interstate 20, arlington, tx 76018, 817‑264‑7782) where it was diagnosed that there was a failure with the stability of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
When driving the truck after extended periods of time (I.e. 1 hour or more) the vehicle will flash a stabilitrak warning and then power the vehicle off. This happened while my son, girlfriend and I were on a trip to florida driving 70 MPH down the interstate. I took to a dealer and they informed me that the battery cables were loose. 4,000 miles the truck has done this episode again and the dealer now tells me that I need to replace the electronic rack and pinion on a truck with 65k miles with a cost of over $3k. There are numerous examples of this happening with trucks just like mine and gm isn't responsible? Hard to fathom that in the 5 vehicles I have owned, not once have I had to replace a rack and pinion and the newest vehicle that I have every owned has this issue.
My truck.was.fixed.once for the sterring and is still.cutting out its.so.bad that its shutting the hole truck down.in the.middle.of the road an.on the highway or when u go to speed up it cuts out n the streen comes tight
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc sierra 1500. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the steering wheel and brakes seized. The contact powered off the engine while in traffic. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally. The contact stated that the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to covert buick gmc (located at 11750 research blvd, austin, tx 78759, (512) 583-3411) where diagnostic testing was completed, but no failure code was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
The truck dies at any moment. Stability track system warning pops up in the little screen and the steering wheel is blocked when this happen. After these to things happens the truck shut down. Sometimes, after a few minutes the truck comes back to normal. This has happened to me for like 10 times in a period of like 15 months. I have taken to the dealer like 6 times and they haven't found the problem. They have change some wires from the battery. They have reprogram the software and nothing I still have the same problem. The truck dies at any moment. All of this happen when I am driving the truck most of the times at low speed and while turning to the left or right except like two times that occurred while I was driving in the highway. The mechanics in the dealer have done all kind of diagnostic that they have but they could not duplicated the problem so the answer that I get every time is that every is fine and that they couldn't duplicated the problem.
The truck will completely turn off, loss of electrical, power steering, braking - everything. First time was on highway30mph in traffic 2nd time highway going 45-50 in traffic & today in parking lot, turning in to droppoff lane an childs school. No stearing and hit the curb.
Stalbility control system suddenly went out when braking on dry surface. Vehicle engine was disabled causing temporary loss of control. The latest occurrence happened while traveling at listed speeds on interstate 75. I have safety oncerns.
While driving my vehicle turns off, stability control comes on and offf on the dic also the drive assist goes off this is very dangerous then is when it looses power
I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection I merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road I suddenly had no steering. Panicking from the loss I pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss I proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while I still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.
On or about 4 april, 2017 I experienced an alarm while driving my 2014 gmc sierra. While traveling between conroe tx and plano tx, I received a warning steering stability. The alarm cleared so I checked my owners manual and it said to take it to a dealer if it didn't clear. I used onstar and had a diagnosis done on the truck. They reported no problems. The next day the truck shut down, in the middle of making a u turn. My daughter thought she had knocked it out of gear but couldn't get it to start until she turned it off and back on. The same thing happened again (this time to my wife) turning into a parking lot. She took it to a gmc dealer to have it checked out. They found a broken gear in the electronic power assist assembly. We heard that our vehicle had a recall # 17276, for problem with the steering. I then took it to the dealer where I bought the truck and had the computer updated to prevent the problem. I then ask for a reimbursement for having to have the steering module and negative battery cable replaced. I contend that, at the time, the cause of the steering problem causing the truck to die. When I ask a technician at mckinney if the recall was for the problem, he said: no that is just to change an error in the computer. Back in april, the only thing they could do to possibly prevent the stalling was to look for something like a power problem. Before I took the truck in I had no indication of power problems and I was never told how the negative battery cable went bad, only that it happens and the truck was out of the 36 mo warranty. I checked on the internet to see if anyone else was having the problem and what the solution to it was? I saw several people were having the problem, but nobody knew what exactly caused it. The consumer requested to be fully reimbursed for the repairs made referencing the recall #17276.
