The power steering locks up for just a second and the triggers the stabilitrack warning. The lights flicker when I turn the turn signal on, it will shut off and turn back on when turning at low speeds. All issues that have been recalled on 2014 Silverado. Just not my 2014 Silverado

While engaging slow idle speed turns, my 2014 Silverado will occasionally completely lose all power steering and the engine will shut off completely. I have also had the same issue occur while driving straight and applying the brake or rolling up windows. During these terrifying situations, a message comes across the dash saying one or all of the following "electronic power steering reduced. Drive with caution" "stabilitrack" "trailer brakes". this issue seems to be very sporadic and unpredictable. I looked up possible solutions and had a mechanic fix a poor grounding connection under the dash which they thought could be the cause but did not resolve the problem. Please help!

Silverado 1500

  • 80,000 miles
While parked in a parking lot, the vehicle would not start. The truck mad a clicking sound and all lights lit up on dashboard, but no concise error message. Truck then started, but lost power when I put it into reverse with all lights coming on again. Turned off ignition and then the truck started. Drove the truck 2 miles to my home and when pulling into my driveway, the truck lost total power and nearly caused me to crash in to a parked vehicle. I was able to avoid the collision and I turned the key off in the ignition. I waited a minute and the truck started without issue. The next morning, the truck had the same issue starting - clicking sound but would not start. It finally started and I took it to my local shop to get a diagnosis. They could not find the issue. The next day, the same clicking noise occurred and it wouldn't start after multiple attempts. I called aaa to have my vehicle towed to the shop. When aaa came, the mechanic was able to start the vehicle. I then drove it to the repair shop for another diagnosis. They could not pinpoint the issue and recommended that I take the truck to the nearby Chevrolet dealership, which I did. They had it for 2 days and could not find an issue - drove, tested, diagnosed multiple times to no avail. Truck also did not show any signs of power loss, etc. Today, for the fifth time in the last 8 days, there was an issue. Truck started normally, drove approx. 2 miles and parked. When attempting to start, the same problem occurred - clicking sound, lights lighting up on the dash board and this time, a stabiltrak error came on and off. Truck then started after 3 attempts so I drove it home. Went to restart and the clicking sound with lights on the dash lit up again. The power loss while driving has occurred 3 times in the past, but the vehicle started up with no other issues. Had this truck for 4 years with no issues until now.

Heard a loud pop and my rear window on the driver side of the slider had shattered and there was smoke coming from the lower center corner where the window meets the defroster connector.

Silverado 1500

  • 98,000 miles
Vehicle's electrical components malfunction and seem to short out then the entire vehicle shuts down. This is primarily when moving at slower speeds and making turns in either direction. The stabilitrak, park assists, turn indicators all shut off and warnings pop up on the dash. Shortly after that the vehicles electrical system shuts down entirely. From what I have read online this is due to an malfunctioning ground wire that the manufacturer did not install properly. The error is due to the sound proofing material getting in the way of the ground bolt and the vehicle. This is very dangerous as it has happened while turning left at an intersection and there is oncoming traffic. This has happened multiple times to me over the last few months and most recently, yesterday, 5/20.

  • 62,000 miles
My 2014 Chevy Silverado suffers from the same loss of power steering issue GM just issued a recall for in Sept. Of 2018 for the 2015 model of the Silverado. When attempting to park or performing low speed turns the power steering with fail making it incredibly difficult to safely control the vehicle. When on the highway using cruise control, the cruise control had failed without warning and the steering locks up for a moment when this happens. This is a serious safety issue affecting more vehicles than just the 2015 models, and the recall should be expanded to include all affected year models. This issue happens intermittently without warning, and occurs multiple times a week. I purchased this vehicle in Dec of 2017, and the issue has been present since my ownership.

Loss of steering; steering wheel locking up and jerking out of my hands while making a turn. Headlights ac and radio cutting off. Multiple warnings including stabilitrac and power steering assist. Engine failure. This happens at low speeds and turning. I took it to the dealer ship today and they said that it fried my battery and cables and fuse but theydont know the reason why this is happening. This is almost $700 out of pocket with no garuntee problem solved. My truck has 32,000 miles 2014 Chevy Silverado lt 1500. When pulling into the dealership this morning, everything listed above happened and thankfully it reciprocated when the mechanic tested it. It threw off ten different codes.

Silverado 1500

  • 62,500 miles
This vehicle has had a previous recall for power steering failure at low speeds due to voltage issues. The recall and software update was performed in September of 2017. I have recently been experiencing the same symptoms from the previous recall. I have noticed when driving at low speeds I will temporarily loose power steering. This has happened approximately 5 times in the last month. It usually occurs when I am in a parking lot, pulling into a parking space, at low speeds 5-10 mph, and when I am turning. The power steering stops working for a second or so and then comes right back. I have also noticed while traveling on the highway or interstate my headlights flickering as if there is a low voltage issue. The voltage meter has been in the normal operating range, and I have had no warning lights or alarms when these incidents have occurred. Most recent incident occurred today 4/30/19 when pulling into a parking space at a local restaurant.
