Damage to fuse panel and front left speaker on driver side dash. The Antenna on top of the trucks cab has a known issue to leak. And has leaked down the front left column on top of the fuse panel causing corrosion and damage to electrical components. No evaluation has been done by a certified technician for damage. But available for evaluation per request. No warning lights present.
Steering assist warning light comes on and vehicle shut down losing ability to steer or brake, vehicle wouldn-??t start, tried to start the next day and vehicle started.Before warning light all lights flickered when applying brakes and other warning lights lit up!
Temporary loss of electric power steering assist, happens mostly at low speeds. also complete loss of power and engine Turing at low speeds. luckily was driving less than 10 MPH but had zero control of the truck and brakes did not work and ran into and curb that stopped me. The vehicle was taken into the Chevy Dealership in Covina 3 times and they said there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. There was no warnings at all, just total loss of control
Using a signal for lane changes causes cruise control to disengage, suspension messages and air bag failure messages as well as tire failure icon would all come on and when leaving the exit ramp and decelerating the engine would die and system would lock up without ability to steer. So dangerous. Then next trip all is good but the engine failing while driving has happened a half dozen times. The last incident was another engine failure during an exit from the interstate in November.

Slow Crank, and Theft Deterrent System comes on while driving and you loose power to the vehicle and stalls outs while in motion, bad negative battery cables are to blame from all our research on this vehicle from multiple online videos it is common for this year, make, model. It happened to us while driving on a highway luck was on our side and no one was around us.
Trucks electrical system will flash and blink and shut down the truck this has happened to me while driving at night on the highway it is very dangerous. Also research I have done shows there is a bunch of people having this problem and they have found that a ground has factory insulation in between the ground and the nut
The rear window defogger caught fire. It caught fire while parked next to a gas pump after using the auto start. If it had happened while driving down the road it could've caused a bad accident. It shattered the window as well so I've had to tape the back window which is limiting my view when driving. The dealership I bought it from knows about the issue. GM has already recalled 160,000 trucks for the same reason in Canada but never issued a recall for any US trucks. Nobody has inspected the component yet as I have not had the money to replace it but it is in the same state/condition it was in after the fire. There were no warning lights or symptoms. The rear window defogger comes on every time the remote start is used. I've used the remote start plenty of times before, luckily I was close to the truck when it happened to catch fire this time or the truck may have caught fire and burned completely. I want to point out the fact that GM has already issued a recall for the exact same problem I had but only for Canada trucks. They said they were investigating to see if there were any in the US that were sold but clearly there were.
TCM Failed. Caused vehicle to no longer shift through drive gears while operating. After stopped no longer able to start vehicle. Appears to be common as a result replacement parts re not available.
The power steering went out without warning. The power steering system failed without warning during operation. There was a recall for this in 2017 but my VIN number is not included in this recall.
Steering assistance failed during slow speed turn into side street. Vehicle stalled with no power to steer or brake. Engine turned off allowing vehicle to dead stick accross two lanes of traffic for opposite direction. Vehicle came to rest in parking lot nearby. Had there been vehicles in those lanes an accident would have occurred. Dash board monitor gives signals that "stability track" off and check engine have issues. In August of 2017 received recall letter from GM citing problem with EPS (electric power steering). Took vehicle to Serpentini Chevy on August 13th 2017 and they reprogramed EPS Module. Milage at this time was 20,085. They did not charge for repair. In 2017 my vehicle had no symptoms of recall. Now in 2022 this EPS problem is happening with milage 54,000 twice almost causing MVA.
For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have never even used the trailer brake. Whe. The warning started i took the truck tk get checked they replaced everything but the wire harness and still every other day i get the warning. Thankfully it has not caused an accident yet but the warning is non stop once it starts.I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.
As I was picking up my child from school my steering wheel and ac stopped working my steering wheel got locked. I was putting everyone-??s life at risk because I wasn-??t able to make a turn. We-??ve been searching everywhere and it seems it-??s a recall.
For several years now, I have been receiving the notification SERVICE: Trailer Brake. I typically try to dismiss it, but on occasion, it will continue to pop up over and over and over and over again. I have driven this vehicle since it's original purchase and have never even used the trailer brake. (Even though it's been titled twice - I purchased it from the company I work for.) Thankfully it has not caused any accidents. Just an annoyance. But I have been reading online that some owners have been unable to operate their vehicles due to this issue. This is not a daily driver vehicle but today was the most recent episode with the warning. I drove maybe a couple of miles total and it chimed and notified me approximately 20 times in this short distance. I looked on youtube and there are countless owners that have this same problem. It is definitely a distraction to the driver and could potentially cause a very serious accident.
Trailer brake system keep coming on it is starting to become unbearable and I can barely drive my truck, it comes on at least 20 times while I-??m driving on a day so over 100 times in a week
When I slow down and turn my truck suddenly losses power steering. Everything turns off for a second and then comes back on. And I get a notice on the dash that I lost power.
I purchased this vehicle used in July of 2020. Ever since then, I have experienced random issues with a Service-Trailer Brake System warning coming on. It will keep coming and the chime is extremely distracting and cannot be silenced for any significant period of time. After reviewing on the internet, I am also very concernd about pulling a load with a braking system. I may go for hundreds of miles with no warning, then the warning will start coming in repeatedly. I have not at this time attempted any repairs.
stabilitrak light and engine light comes on causing vehicle to lose power, steering wheel locks up, lights flicking on and off, and time engines shut off...This is an hazard while driving vehicle on highway road and regular streets especially.
Whenever I connect my trailer to the truck, I get a "Check Trailer Wiring" message on my dash and a dinging sound. The trailer is new, but I returned it to the dealer, and they tore it down to the frame to check the wiring. Several diagnostics were run on the truck and the truck connector was changed, and yet the dinging persisted. Finally, Hendricks Chevrolet in Durham, NC was able to fix the problem, but only temporarily. After 4,000 miles the dinging resumed. I cannot pull my trailer with my truck safely; I would have to drive without brakes and lights. And now I am stranded in California at my sister's home, two days' drive from my new home in CO, and no way to pull the trailer. This has been an ongoing issue that Chevy has ignored. Chevy wants another diagnostic run, even though the diagnostics come back clear. I asked the Chevy team member on the call who can fix a Chevy if Chevy cannot. He had no answer.
