The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving various speeds, a sudden chime sounded. Next, the power steering and power brakes suddenly malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. Also, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and an unknown dealer were notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 54,000. The VIN was unknown.
My truck has lost power 3 times while driving. Fortunately no accidents have happened as a result, but I no longer feel safe in the vehicle. First occurrence, I was in motion backing into my driveway. Second occurrence, I was leaving my neighborhood and turning right when I lost all power and drifted into traffic. Third occurrence, I was turning right into my neighborhood and ended up on my neighbors front lawn. I took it to a local Chevrolet dealership for repairs, and the problem persists. They made 3 attempts at fixing, I paid each time, and nothing has been repaired.
Takata recall - 2014 Chevy Silverado ltz about 6 months ago now, I have been having this problem and now I have had enough! when turning on a low speed the steering wheel locks and seems to bounce back. I don't know what causes this. It use to happen maybe 1-2 times every month while parking in my drive way. Use to be always in my driveway only. And now that thanksgiving passed and I was doing some shopping with my kids; from 11/22/18-now 11/25/18, it has locked on me about 15 times! once turning left on a green light on a busy city street, it locked and wouldn't turn was going straight with my kids inside and my wife driving! another time parking at store parking lots with cars in front and behind me! and just now 7:26 P.M. it locked 5 times while parking! I took it to get it checked out back in August I believe and all they told me was nothing is wrong. I can not keep driving this or having my wife drive my kids and risk loosing them! you need to fix this now! please! I believe there is a recall going arround; I believe the recall number is 17V414000 a lot of what it says sounds exactly what happens to my truck.
I started my truck and while in a parked position the dashboard displays a message regarding power-steering has been reduced, please drive with caution. I googled it and notice that my particular model has a known issue and re-called. I called Chevrolet customer service and they said since my VIN # has no open recalls, they couldn't assist and that I have the option to take it to a service shop and pay out of pocket to fix. It is frustrating that with all the information online I couldn't get any help on this matter.
My headlights are flickering. When steering, headlights dim. When using turn signals, headlights dim. Power steering randomly cuts out in parking lots. Trailer brake service warning came up on instrument screen. I read ground G218 is causing a short and I removed the insulation under the nut that could cause high resistance and it fixed everything for about 3 weeks but the lights and steering problem is still happening. Dealer thought maybe trailer brake control system but I did not have them replace, instead found G218 issues online. No open recalls. Sounds similar to other complaints. No codes. No issue with battery or alternator.

At start up the radio and info screen on dash between the RPM and speedometer was reset as if the negative battery cable was removed and replaced. The power steering died out later on a turn onto my block and was on and off as it jerked out of my hands while parallel parking. Start up the next day and the reset was back with the wheel free to turn for now. I haven't moved the truck for fear of the steering going out again. Truck has 44,450 miles.
Recall # 17276 for low voltage steering. Our vehicle has an extremely dangerous safety problem. When the steering wheel is turned quickly, the steering is extremely stiff, the headlights dim, and the engine shuts off. This is life threatening when making a turn across oncoming traffic lanes. We took the truck to a Chevrolet dealership for the recall # 17276 for low voltage steering. They reprogrammed the steering system. This did not resolve the problem. We have taken the truck back to the dealership 3 additional times now for this issue. The dealership has opened a case with GM, and GM has recommended many things, all at my cost that have not resolved the safety problem. I feel that GM is using me as a crash test dummy. I sent an E mail request to GM documenting this issue. GM replied that they will only work by telephone they ask to record the call but will not allow the customer to do the same. They have refused to read or reply to my documented request for help. Please contact me for any details or questions, I desperately need help on this. Thank you,
Vehicle looses power when turning, radio screen flashes on/off, stabilitrak error displays on screen, total loss of power to vehicle while on the road while driving while in motion. This specific VIN# was involved in a recall for the exact issue last year and was repaired but is still functioning as per manufacturer agreement. This vehicle is unsafe to be on the road as is. Took it back to autonation gulf fwy to get a diagnostic they claimed it was the neg batt terminal, I got that fixed still having the same issue. GM nor Chevy want to help with this issue. I guess they are waiting for someone to die before they take this issue seriously. I don't see paying for all the repairs out of pocket if I just bought this vehicle Aug 28, 2018 and was never informed that it had been involved in a recall.
I recently purchased a 2014 Chevy Silverado ltz used at a dealership here in atlanta, ga. Everything seemed to be fine and I was very pleased with the truck until one day when slowly turning left the power steering shut off, and then caused the truck to stall in incoming traffic. As this is a huge safety concern, I brought my truck to my local jim ellis Chevrolet service department in chamblee, ga. They recognized that there was a recall in these trucks for this already and said that they had the issue resolved. This has now happened again three times, most recently this morning at 6:30am on 10/30/18. I have dropped off my truck again at the same dealer, but I fear they will have the same, "unable to re-create" result as last time. On the recall websites I have researched, it seems the recall number is: 17V414000. Please advise, as I am not sure what to do with this issue. I have a baby on the way and would feel unsafe driving my truck with him inside. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The vehicle was driving around a curve at approximately 45 mph when the steering locked. The driver is unclear if the breaks worked or not, but he ended up stepping on the gas pedal accidentally. He hit a tree head on and totaled the truck. He noticed the audio system lost the signal from his iphone and began playing the local radio station at the same time. The iphone was connected via an auxiliary cord. The driver is familiar with a loss of power steering and is quite sure the steering locked and was unable to be moved even with considerable effort. The driver was taken to a hospital by ambulance and is lucky to have only minor injuries. Prior to this, recall #17276 was completed on the truck, but after that it did have an electrical incident where all electrical components went haywire, blinking & beeping & turning on & off, then everything went dead, including the steering. The truck was towed to the dealership who replaced the battery & found no other problems. We kept the battery they replaced, had it tested & it was found to be fine. The dealership refunded the cost of the new battery, but offered no solution to the electrical problem.
Truck dies in the middle of the intersection nearly causing an injury. Driver has to get out of the truck in said busy intersection to try to figure out the problem, because truck would not turn on. This is not a battery issue. Research has proven hundreds of other people are having these same issues with this particular truck.truck dies several times a day while turning or pulling into a driveway or parking spot. Electricity glitches when driving down the road if a bump is hit or if the brakes are pressed mildly hard. As for the date below, it happens literally every day.

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.
