Stabilitrek flashes and then vehicles steering locks up and the truck dies. Usually it's when I'm going slow and usually it's when I'm turning. This is happening now in August of 2020 but also happened a few years ago and then there was a recall. It's very dangerous. No warning and the truck dies very unexpectedly. Please fix this problem I see others are complaining too
There is an unintended braking during drive started to happened. Usually happens in auto and 4WD mode. The truck was in the middle of freeway of around 70 to 80 miles per hour and suddenly brakes jammed by itself. This happened more than 5 times. Checked the VIN first time through NHTSA website for VIN recall and shows 2 recalls. First one for ebcm reprogramming and second one for equipment vacuum pump replacement. Bring it to chevorlet of folsom, ca and they did reprogramming without the part replacement and told that truck is running fine. But the issue still persists. Now bring it to them and they said we dont deal with salvage titles. And just for my sake checked again for recall on NHTSA website and it shows none or might be they reported it fixed. But the issue is still there.
Truck flashed service stbilitrak and then shut off while driving and shot right and made me go up and over a curb at 35 mph. Scanner says voltage lost in BCM and now it says to service the trailer brake system with no trailer hooked up.
When I am turning, my vehicle loses power and or dies. If my emergency lights are on it causes my ac to turn so low it almost doesn't work and other electrical problems. I was almost hit in an intersection because my vehicle died due to loss of power when I was turning.

When the truck is running it loses power and the ac turns off and the radio turns off and a message comes on the message box stability rack and then the ac turn back on and the radio. Then when drive and try to make a turn truck turns off have to put the truck in park and turn it back on.
It started out as the truck losing all power when entering the truck. No power to the dash or ignition. Then power would return out of nowhere. Lately the truck will lose all power while the truck is running sitting still and moving down the highway. Engine will stay running but no dash no A/C and when the dash returns stabitrac notification is on the screen. Today the truck did this 11 times in 1 hour and even lost steering control while driving down a large highway. While on the side of the highway with the hazards on the dash, controls and A/C intermittently flicked for a full 2 minutes
Stabililock light comes on. Trailer braking system comes on. Loss of dashboard lights. Lights go dim. Truck shuts off while moving. Won't start sometimes and yes it has a new battery. It has shut off on me about 5 times so far while driving on highway. Started about 3 months ago.
When on highway, when turn signal is engaged the cruise control turns off. Also at low speed, ac will turn off, brake stability warning appears and power steering goes off.
Has occurred multiple times with the vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street, highway, turning, at a variety of speeds. The vehicle temporarily loses power and power steering. The stabilitrack and steering assist indicators appears on dashboard. Sometimes the power returns, other times I will have to put the vehicle in park, reposition key, and restart the engine. I had vehicle serviced by dealership earlier this year, and my VIN did not match any recalls. They couldn't identify the issue and suggested I replace the battery. I replaced the good battery with a new battery, and still experience this issue. This occurs multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day, and has been ongoing for at least a year..
While driving on the highway going about 70 to 75mph my 2014 Silverado just cuts off and shuts down gravelly reducing my velocity. This occurred as I was merging onto a lane and when I accelerated to merge my truck turns off. All the displays in the vehicle turn off including my radio and A/C. I lost power steering functions and I could not even turn on my emergency lights. My 2014 Silverado also stalls while coasting to a stop, the power steering goes first and the steering wheel gets hard to turn and the vehicle shuts of in order to turn it on I have to put it in park and turn the ignition again. The cause is unknown.
Our truck will shut off while driving down the road. The radio and air will turnoff first then the truck will shut right off. It is scary when you are towing and going right along on the highway when it turns off. Someone it's going to get killed before anything it's done. We had the recall done but it did not resolve the problem. The company does not care because I have complain about this problem before and nothing was done. Drivers beware and stay safe!
While driving on the highway merging lanes at about 70 mph my vehicle blacked out. The engine cut off, the lights went out and all my functions were lost. I wasn't able to steer and I wasn't even able to put my emergency lights on. Everything turns off it is almost like the whole car just hits a reset button.. after it stalls the airbag light come on and stays on for about a minute or so and the display on the dash goes to the media section.this isn't the first that it occurs, it happens at random taking even months to happen again. This is very dangerous and could cause several injuries. I purchased this vehicle with the illusion that it would keep my new family safe however it has caused me nothing but frustration time and most importantly worry for my life and my family's. I have video documentation.
Warning lights came on for steering assist while driving down the highway. At this time, the air conditioning and radio turned off, but the engine remained running. Dismissing the alert returned the A/C and radio, and the truck continued running. A few minutes later, an alert popped up for stabilitrack, the A/C turned off, and the engine shut off, all while moving. I lost my brakes, was still able to steer, and had to use the emergency brake to come to a stop. This is extremely dangerous. There are people all over the internet talking about grounding issues related to this, and it's not uncommon. Why is there not a recall for this?
When driving with the cruise control on at approximately between 55-70 mph the dash flickers and the truck will occasionally will turn off completely for approximately 1 second and then come right back on. This problem will occur also if you tap the brakes after this happens. Upon parking the truck the flickering of the dash can occur more mildly by engaging the brake, turn signals, or high beams. Seems impossible to use the cruise and turn signals to change lanes without this happening. Stability trak error comes up when the truck turns completely off. It has once said something about steering assist going off or something like that.
While driving vehicle on city street, going straight or turning, voltage will go down and result in the truck cutting out (radio) lights flicker (headlights and dash lights) and service stabitrak will come on dash then the airbag light will come on. With final result of having surges of power steering with voltage drops. Resulting in almost a head on collision. Pulled over and shut the truck off for a minute then it will be fine. Took to local Chevrolet dealership, they 'visually checked' all engine grounds, battery terminals, starter wire, alternator wire, and power steering wires. Everything checked out good. It did throw 13 dtc's related to low voltage. Haven't had a problem in 7,000 miles and now it is starting again. I am uncertain of the faulty issue, and so is my local dealership. But, they wanna 'try' all kinds of different things at my expense, which I think is wrong. There are recalls for the same year of truck with the same issues.
The steering assist comes on in the info screen, truck power steering goes out, and cruise control shuts off. This happens at 60mph, and also happens when the turn signals are use at a low speeds.
While driving 73 mph on the interstate I would notice that the dash light will flicker and the touchscreen as well. As I got to 78 mph the electronics blackout, steering wheel tighten up for about 2 seconds then everything came back on.as I decided to decelerate without the brake to get off on the next exit I hit my right signal light and the electronics flicked off and on again and maintenance stabilitirak showed up. When I got to a stop I cut the truck off an back on everything was back to normal. 30 miles down the road the dash lights was flickering again. I kept the truck steady at 73 until I got home. Upon backing into my driveway the truck shuts off. When I cranked the truck a message read roll the window down and up.
An electrical problem that happens randomly. It will be fine for 6-8 months then it will act up. It starts when I brake the lights will dim. The stabiltack light will flash off and on. While still in motion. The truck will lose power and the brakes and steering will lock up. Usually when coming to a stop or turning slow. It's happened at stop lights, parking lots and a parking garage. This is very dangerous for myself and others. I have no control at this point. I've also experienced the truck not cranking but after it sits for a while it will crank like nothing was ever wrong with it. Interior lights and door locks come off and on. I've researched this problem online and it seems a lot of ppl have the exact same problems. What everyone is saying is that it is the G218 ground issue. I've took it to the dealership and they act like they haven't heard of the problem. Every time I've took it they charge me a fortune and tell me to put a new battery in it. I hope this get investigated because it's a very serious issue and someone will be hurt. I am actually scared to drive this vehicle. Thank you.
Everything turned off while driving on fwy at 80 miles. My doors unlocked truck turned off. Turned back on. Airbag light came on after everything turned off.
