Power steering goes off and warning light comes on that says service power steering. This happens intermedtialy without warning. I can stop turn off the truck and it will sometimes come on and work for a short time.
The truck has 41000 miles on it there is a pop when turning it seems to the same issue with the steering gear as other 2014 Silverado but not included in the recall it is a safety issue and GM should fix this truck. I fear the tierod will break and cause a crash
Truck dash will flicker and cause stabletrak to disable, and then steering assist says limited. Radio will change stations when this happens, and the steering wheel will lock up and is unable to be turned. Has happened several times while we're on the highway. It's when we're in motion, has happened while trying to park, going on a back road, and on the highway. While in park, we can hear occasional clicking coming from inside the dash. It's been occurring since October, but was really bad on December 22nd. Have a video of one of the occurrences, but not sure how to upload it.
When driving steering wheel locks and stalls out in the middle of driving and turning and says steering loss please drive safe and it's dangerous I could crash
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the eps failed to function and the eps warning indicator flashed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (bell and bell Buick GMC trucks, 2491 hwy 9 E, little river, SC 29566, (888) 538-9417) who provided the manufacturer remedy for NHTSA campaign number: 17V414000 (steering); however, the remedy failed to provide a solution concerning the eps software update (reprogramming). The dealer later stated that the eps motor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer provided no solution other than indicating that the part needed to be replaced. There was a steering recall for NHTSA campaign number: 14V719000 (steering), but they had not addressed the recall for the 2014 models. The failure mileage was not available.

While making a left turn into my driveway on a city street going approximately 10 mph, my steering wheel suddenly jerked to the left out of my hand, and the entire vehicle went dead (lost all power, lights, etc.). because the steering wheel locked, I was unable to turn fully into my driveway. As a result, the bed of the truck was sticking out into a major road and I was almost hit by cars coming around the curve by my driveway. It was dark and rainy. I called someone for help and we pushed the truck out of the roadway as best as possible, considering that the steering wheel was still locked. The truck would not restart. All power was gone. The only way I could think to move the truck was to jump start it with another vehicle. After jumpstarting the truck, the dash info system displayed, "action required: Open then close driver window." This is the 2nd time this happened after Chevy dealership performed recall 17276 "temporary loss of electrical power steering (eps) service (during low speed steering maneuvers). There is a tsb out alluding to this issue: #pit5405C: Steering jerks or kicks back / reduced power steering assist / engine stall, etc. (Jan 27, 2017). Why is there no recall"?" this is a major safety issue and could have been deadly!
Power steering fails during a turn along with the engine stalling and all electrical power being shut down. Steering becomes very difficult each time this happens. It is an intermittent issue. But it is a safety issue every time it happens. A google search yields many, many similar reports. Why has this not been addressed? it is Dec 2017 and many of these dangerous vehicles are still not fixed by GM.
Noticed an issue at about 70000 miles where turning left at low speeds under 10 mph there is a sound clunk in the steering. It is easily reputable and happens often regardless of direction, reverse or forward drive. The dealer said it is a failure of the steering rack, and it needs replaced. $1800 for the part and $3 hours of install brings the repair to $2400 for a 3 year old truck. I noticed many other complaints of the same description. Dealer states that the rack needs to be replaced and wouldn't recommend driving it until repaired. I asked what could happen if it failed completely and if this was related to any other recalls. They said complete steering loss and they would not speculate on recalls associated to this failure

As I was driving in the expressway way the stability control light came stearing wheel got hard. In other accasions when I was turning in an busy intersection truck turned off complety and it took me about a minute to be able to turn vehicle back on took it to autozone and to check battery and altenator and everything was fine it has done it to me like 3 times in the last 2weeks
When turning there is a loud popping noise thin the steering. I was told by my dealer it was $1900 to fix and Chevy would not help me. I am very disappointed.
I filed a previous complaint, #11044339, but forgot to add something. I took my vehicle to the dealer on Sept. 22,2017 for the power steering recall, #17276. I don't know if this is related to the problem, but thought it might be some good information to divulge.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 25 mph, the contact experienced an intermittent loss of steering. Once the failure occurred, the power steering would quickly return to normal. The vehicle was taken to quirk Chevrolet in braintree MA. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V246000 (steering). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 73,600.
While on the highway a stabilitrack warning appeared on the dash stating it might affect power steering assist. This came on several times. Then with the cruise control on and signaling a lane change the cruise was cancelled. This also occurred several times. It also appeared that the dash lights flickered, but I wasn't sure because of the sunlight. Later that evening I was making a turn on a city street when the dash lights went completely out and I had no power steering. This lasted about 2 seconds before everything came back on. After that episode it hasn't happened since. After reading other similar complaints I am concerned it could happen again and could result in a crash. It seems that when the cruise was cancelled when signaling the lane change, that if I pushed up or down on the turn signal lever at the end of the lever it would cancel the cruise control. I tried pushing down on the lever closer to the steering column and that didn't cancel out the cruise control. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or it just wasn't malfunctioning at the time.
I was in a parking lot turning into a horizontal parking spot moving less than 5 mph. During the turn the steering wheel broke loose spinning 360 degrees, the wheels stayed at roughly a 45 degree angle with the turn I was making, & the truck stalled. When I brought the truck to the dealership they said that there are plastic/nylon screws that had broken that caused the issue. While there is no recall yet, I believe it's something to look at.

I have been noticing some serious electrical issues in the last few weeks with my 2014 Silverado 1500. It started with the "anti-theft detterent" system acting up and not allowing me to start the car. After flipping the key a few times, it went away. Then the problem progressed to when turning the key it was if the battery was dead. Everything would go black (lights, info center, dic, etc). After a few minutes of sitting, I could turn the key and it would start up no problems. Then it all just went away for about 2 weeks. Then just a few days ago, I was turning into a shopping center and the truck just died. The dash, the lights, the engine, everything. I nearly took out the entrance sign of the parking lot. Hanging with my back end in traffic I quickly popped it neutral, restarted the truck, and pulled in. I couldn't recreate the problem. I drove to autozone and had them check the battery and alternator. Everything was fine. About an hour later, in the drive thru at chick fil a, I placed the car in park, received my food, and as soon as I shifted out of park the truck died again, along with the dash and everything else. Restarted and drove home. I spent about 30 mins driving around the block and sitting in the driveway trying to recreate the problem. I have yet to recreate.
While in motion and turning the truck loses power and steering and says stabilitrack needs service then the truck lost all power and could not be restarted. Had the truck jumped and while driving the ac went out and the stabilitrack warning came on and the steering became jerky and difficult. Once parked and shut off the truck will again not start.
