I lose electric power steering while turning hard left sometimes my lights flicker when I use my left directional signals at times after a hard left turn engine stalls talk to my dealer the dealer says he cannot help me with this problem because there are so many different things that could be involved I have 88,000 miles on this truck and the dealer says if he tries to attempt to repair this I would be responsible to pay him he cannot tell me how many hours it would take. On two or three websites I have found one is a GM website many people have complained about this issue.
My truck on a few different occasions has had the stability of arming come on out of nowhere and go off. When I back my truck in my drive way a couple times when I am going backwards and turning I have had the truck almost die due to the draw from the powerstering pump as I turn the steering wheel. I have had the engine die once while backing it in the driveway leaving me stranded in the street for a minute while the truck seemed to re-boot. When I am in park at night if the truck is running in park with the lights on and I turn the steering wheel back and forth the light will really dim and pulse as the steering wheel goes back and forth. With these issues I hope that this doesn't happen at an intersection or somewhere with more traffic and cause an accident that I have no control over.
Power steering is giving out for a short period of time causing issues while turning at lower speeds & almost caused me to wreck a few times and then stability control and dash items, ac & radio turn off while this happening - everything my truck is experiencing is as described in recall info below from Consumer Affairs. This is taken place a few times and most recently took truck into dealership on 10/12/18. When power steering is lost, drivers may also notice a dashboard light warning them of a power steering fault, or they may notice that all dashboard warning lights are temporarily disabled, the Agency says. Other related electrical systems, such as traction control, air conditioning, warning chimes, power door locks, and cruise control, may also stop working when the power steering has been lost.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the stability traction control warning indicator flashed intermittently and various other warning indicators illuminated. In addition, the entertainment system flickered and the vehicle stalled several times due to a sudden loss of power. In addition, the electronic power steering seized each time the failure occurred. The dealer (ed bozarth Chevrolet, 5501 drexel rd, las vegas, nv 89130, (702) 967-5500) was notified of the failures. The vehicle was kept at the dealer for weeks. The dealer indicated that the vehicle had a ground point G218 failure with a high negative resistance concerning the battery cable. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was not available.
While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning. The engine shuts down and all electrical is lost. Luckily I haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection. After I get truck started there are numerous error codes in the display: Open and close drivers side window, stabilatrak, steering wheel assist, stabilatrak reduce speed B/C of steering assist, 2 keys programmed. Also while traveling at high rate of speed (70-80 mph) on highway the stabilatrak error would appear when I put turn signal on to change lanes but truck has not yet shut down under that condition. I have taken my truck to 2 different Chevrolet dealers for this dangerous problem but they have not been able to find the problem. The last time the truck shut down on me was 9-19-2018 and the truck did not start right away and my 4-way flashers did not work while I was stranded in the intersection.

The alignment, which had been just tuned less than a month prior, was also faulty and needed to be redone. These items were replaced at a cost of $1,184.37.
