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.

Driving vehicle at a low speed into a parking lot, when suddenly and without warning, it completely shut off. No power whatsoever, unable to put on hazard lights. Disconnected battery neutral and hot for about 10-15 min. Reconnected and it started back up. There was a dashboard message to roll driving window up and down. This has happened in the past, but only when starting, never while in drive and in forward motion! In the past I had it diagnosed for the no crank no start and for $400 I updated the bcm. Typically, with no crank no start, I would disconnect battery neutral for 10 minutes, reconnect and start up slowly, ie: turn ignition to on, wait 1 min then crank it to start. I have accepted the occasional no crank no start, but the idea that this happened in drive is unacceptable and incredibly dangerous!

On making a turn at low speed, my engine has cut out completely. I had full loss of acceleration, power steering ,AC, radio. I put the truck in neutral and restart the engine to get to safety. This has occurred 3 times in the last 20 days.twice in city traffic, once on the highway, turning off for gas. The "service steering assist" light appeared. I took the truck for a full diagnostic at a local electric repair shop, for $170.00. The tech found nothing after hooking my truck to his computer. The day I retrieved my truck from the electrical shop, I stopped in walmart for groceries. My key fob would not lock or unlock my doors. I manually unlocked the truck to determine that the truck would not start at all. No panel/ interior lights, no response in ignition,no automatic unlocking, the truck was completely dead. Roadside service came to tow it, and the truck was jumpstarted from his battery pack. The key fob began to work, unlocking,etc. I towed the truck home. I have VIN checked my truck and there are none but I believe my vehicular failure refers to gm part 573 safety recall 17v‑414 regarding the loss of eps. A secondary recall which may apply is gm# 14v26000 re steering linkages, tie rod assembly.as the "steer assist' alert was what I saw. I have the work invoice from the electrical shop, if needed.

For the past few weeks I have had a power problem on my truck. I have got in the truck and nothing was on and engine wouldn't crank. I would get out of my truck and wiggle the negative line on the battery and the truck would regain power. I cleaned off all corrosion (not anything significant)that was on the connecter. Yesterday as I was taking a turn into my neighborhood the truck lost all power. I was able to cost into a safe spot on the side of the road. I then poped the hood and opened the door. When I opened the door the power came back on. I closed the door started the truck and headed to my house. I am having my truck towed to the nearest dealer. If this had happened to me on the highway or a main road it could have been catastrophic. I have doon some research and found a number of videos and forums on this subject and it seems to be on gm trucks from 2014-2017. I am not a mechanic, but I work in it and am very good at reasearch and troubleshooting issues. My instinct is telling me it is the negative connection to the battery.

While parking vehicle I tried to make a slight right turn, the steering wheel jerked out of my hand under extreme force and the vehicle shut off on its own. After the vehicle stopped I tried to turn right a few more times. Every time I did this the steering wheel would turn itself in the opposite direction about a quarter turn and the dash lights would turn off like the computer was reseting. The vehicle would not start right away, but did after turning the key to the off position for a few seconds.

Initial vehicle start was fine. After dropping my son at his summer program, I returned to the vehicle and the engine would not start. All of the instruments and gauges powered on, but when I turned the key, nothing happened. I turned the power back to the off position and attempted to start again. I repeated this procedure eight separate times before the truck finally started. I am foreseeing a 2nd trip to the dealer's service department soon, but 1st for this issue. My 1st trip was due to the intellilink infotainment system going black. I took the truck to the dealer and was told there was a recall for the radio module to be reprogrammed. The reprogramming did not work and I had to wait another business day for a new radio module to be ordered and installed. I am beginning to doubt my purchase of this vehicle. I have owned it less than 1 month and I am anticipating another service department visit soon.
