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

Truck has 3 problems that can put my family's life in danger. 1- sometimes out of nowhere at low speeds when you turn the steering wheel to make a left or right turn the 'stabilitrac' light flashes in the screen and locks and won't let you turn the steering wheel.at this point you have no control of the steering wheel, it locks and bounces back at you and if you keep trying to turn it, the engine cuts off all power and it stalls, just dies. I almost got read ended a couple of times already due to this problem. Just this morning I was making a right onto a local mcdonald's and the steering wheel locked and the engine died on me. I had to quickly turn it on again and keep going.another time it happen as I was merging into traffic. Very scary! Problem number two, I think its just a matter of time before the steering wheel locks on me on high speeds. Sometimes when I'm on the freeway, the same chimes come on when I step on the brakes, the center screens goes black, and the same 'stabilitrac' warning comes on the smaller screen behind the steering wheel. I'm afraid to take it on a winding road for fear that the steering wheel will lock on me cause an accident. 3- service brake controller sign and chimes come on ant won't go away. It jus keeps on popping on and on and on and they go away when you turn off the truck, and come on again months or weeks later. I did have it checked at my local dealership.they tested it, sold me new ground and hot wires. It was good for about 4 weeks before the same problems came back again. I did some research on some of the forums and you tube videos and by far I'm the only one with the same problem. Very afraid to cause an accident.

On 2/5/2017 while turning unto my street the steering wheel locked and I could not move my truck from hitting a block wall. I also tried breaking but the car did not stop in time to not hit the wall. I was driving slowly (20 MPH) because I was in a neighborhood and me and my family were all wearing seatbelts so no one was seriously injured. The airbags did not deploy at all. And I also bent the steering wheel in half trying to move it. I am attaching a picture of the steering wheel itself and the vehicle is currently at caliber collisions for the repairs. I went to the gm dealer and they said they would run diagnostics after the truck comes out of the shop.
