Lost power steering at low speed, radio, ac and power to screen shuts off. Once the wheel is turned to the middle the power comes back on. Ive fixed this issue already last year and now again its happened a year later, they say now at 65,000 it is a rack and pinion when last year they said it was the battery.

1. Loss of Power Steering - Engine shuts down - Dashboard flickers (sometimes it turns back on) 2. Loss of Power Steering & Engine shuts off while in motion - EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (Usually happens at slower speeds when turning the steering wheel) 3. Dealer has not been able to confirm the problem 4. The dealer won't look at problems unless "it" happens in their hands because the diagnostic does not show this problem. 5. No warning before this happens. No way to force the problem to happen....it just happens usually when turning wheel at slow speeds. 6. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS.... 7. The 2015 Sierra has a recall for this problem, Mine is a 2016 8. PLEASE HELP - VERY DANGEROUS

While making turns the vehicle intermittently stalls, losing all control of steering and electrical components. When it stalls there is no steering control whatsoever and the vehicle does have brakes, but slow to react.. Restart the vehicle and the computer system slowly resets. This has happened 5 times in the last2 days. Taking the vehicle to the dealership as soon as they have an opening.

I bought this vehicle in july of 2019 from a gmc dealership in duncansville pa. In late november on my way to work randomly my service stabili trak, ABS, assisted steering, and brake light lit up on my dash every 30 seconds repetitively for the remainder of the trip (3 hours). I work 4 hours from home for 2 weeks at a time I spend very little time in my vehicle during this time. I seen the lights come up randomly while out of town also. Once my work weeks were over on my way home the problem persisted. I took it for an oil change and recall late december. They told me they could not replicate any lights nor were they showing any codes. As of last month the problem is getting worse to the point were I am completely losing my power steering sometimes for days at a time. Last week I took my vehicle down for another recall sent from gm specifically for my VIN I was told there wasn't any issues or codes. All they could find is a communications error and they would need to keep it for a few days and sent me on my way home until they had a loaner vehicle available. One week later after several attempts to get my truck in I still have a lit up dash, no power steering, and not a clue when it'll even be able to be looked at since I leave for work in 2 days. This is a common problem from what I have read and can be extremely dangerous especially in winter/snow/icy conditions. I need a vehicle that I can feel safe in that I can travel without worrying around every turn if my power steering is going to shut off and I'm going to have to power a vehicle around a turn or to avoid an accident. I feel like my problem is being brushed under the rug. On my way home that day just 2 miles from my house my power steering went out and I slid off the road fortunately I live in the country and nothing was in the field I slid into. I have photos and videos of the lights flashing off and on.

I received a warning message on my digital dash display which indicated "service power steering" and my power steering stopped working completely. It was impossible to steer the vehicle and I had to have the vehicle towed for service. The vehicle was parked at the time the warning came on. The mechanic will be evaluating the vehicle in the morning.

Power steering stopped working for 2 seconds while I was driving. I suddenly felt steering being heave and losing control and brakes was not working at the same time. Luckily I was going slowly around 20 MPH in neighborhood. It could have been worst if I was in free way.
