Engine stalls while driving by model year

What owners say

Filed Aug 3, 2025 · Acceleration, Electrical · TX

the steering assist fails, Power and steering is reduced at driving speeds. Steering wheel locks and vehicle looses voltage and stalls while driving at low speeds and have been close to collision. Vehicle was inspected by Group One Gmc in el Paso Texas. They did not fix recall because it "did not pertain to my vin" . There is a recall for the steering assist on all gmc 2015 1500, but not for my gmc 2015 1500 for some reason. Whether it was manufactured in the us or the moon its still a gmc 2015 1500 with faulty steering assist system from the manufacturer with an open recall. Thanks for your help

When parking and turning the wheel the truck stalled, radio turned off and on, ac stopped working, battery reading dropped. Maybe an electrical issue since it happens continuously, while making turns at slow speeds the truck wants to turn off, lights dim then go back to normal.

All power shuts off while driving. The transmission dis-engages, the power steering stops working and the infotainment system turns off. The power steering powers off even when sitting in a parking spot while everything else is on. I've owned this truck since 2019 and this has always been an issue, especially when taking a left through an intersection. I keep checking for recalls, but nothing shows up and I find that extremely hard to believe. I'm contacting you now because the issue has gotten worse, everyday worse.

Violent and erratic shifting during acceleration and deceleration... A simultaneous pop and jerk happens... Also when accelerating and hitting passing gear the truck seems to stall out and then quickly engages to apply more power than expected... This can be dangerous for a driver attempting to merge onto highways/highways! The jerking occurs on a regular basis and at various speeds on various highways...

The vehicle is stalling when braking and getting ready to turn. My truck is showing stabilitrak service intermittently and I've almost been in a crash 3 times because of this. The vehicle only restarts after placing in park. This is not safe when in traffic. There seems to be no recalls and no known cause. Someone is going to die if gm doesn't fix this. I've been on forums and it's a common problem. It should be fixed by gm if it is so common. This happens when approaching cross traffic at an intersection and I lose all control of steering braking and power to the truck.
