This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was slowing down to make a right turn, I didn't have to come to a complete stop but when the vehicle got below 15mph or so. The steering locked up. And it acted like I had turned the vehicle off. All of the lights went off, inside and out. And the vehicle died. Luckily it didn't cause an accident and it did start up and I was able to get it home but since then the lights flicker and the touch screen radio goes black and won't do anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. and the steering feels like one minute you have power steering and the next you don't now.
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.
It started with the truck losing power when making slow speed turns into driveway/parking spot which includes loss of power steering which has caused me to almost crash several times. The power used to come back up but now it is resulting in the truck just turning itself off mid turn and not just on slow turns. It happened when I was making a turn onto a street and I was forced to muscle the truck off the side of the road- no power at all so no power steering-going about 10-15 mph. When driving with cruise control on if you use the turn signal it kicks off the cruise control. The ac will just stop and the truck will just shut off. The whole time all/any of this is happening my dash is telling me stability control is off, steering assist of off drive with care....if the dash has any power that is. The trailer brake system flashes like I am using the brakes when I am sitting in the truck door open, key out. I have unplugged that thinking it was the problem but it didn't change anything. At times it is completely random that all power almost bottoms out and comes back moments later. There is definitely something wrong and as see I am not the only one having these same issues...should investigate and offer recall and get these trucks fixed before someone does crash. My truck only has 53,300 miles on it and it has a new battery and we have checked the alternator. The date below would be when I almost crashed turning the corner and truck died.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while having a routine oil change the contact informed the mechanic that there was an ac failure due to it letting out hot air instead of cool air. The contact was informed that the vehicle's condenser detached. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (Mercedes-Benz of caldwell address: 1220 bloomfield ave, West caldwell, NJ 07006; phone: (973) 227-3600) from the well joint causing a leak with the vehicle. The vehicle's condenser needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case regarding the issue. The contact was then referred to NHTSA to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 57,657.
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.
The driver side rear cab door lock will not lock using the key fob. It remains unlocked, when all other doors are locked. The lock on the door has to be manually be depressed in order to keep door. The same door does not unlock using the key fob.
While driving the truck at approximately 40 mph, the truck turned off and all electrical systems were disabled. Hazard lights were off and all other equipment including door lock and unlock were disabled. Electric steering turned off. This was a deadly malfunction and has happened twice now.
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 vehicle ( in motion) the door locks begin to activate uncontrollably, the power will drop off and the transmission will not engage. The vehicle must be put in park and then changed into drive again before it will move; may take more than ocean. No warning prior to issue starting and can happen at any time.
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 the vehicle intermittently shuts down and sometimes even restarts, tends to happen at low speeds. Chevrolet ( GM) has disavowed any knowledge that this happens, even though there are 1100 plus google pages about it.
While driving at a low rate of speed, my vehicle has completely shut off. After putting the truck in park and restarting, it drove fine. This has happened several times now. Once I pulled into our driveway and while waiting for the garage door to open, it shut off momentarily and then restarted on its own. Now it is shutting off and not restarting. The power steering is also gone when this happens. This is incredibly dangerous at intersections. We've called the dealership but they said they weren't aware of any issues. This started occurring around 85,000 miles.
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.
