Loss of power steering. For no reason and no pattern the power steering goes out. A warning message comes up in the driver info screen saying warning loss of power steering. When it happens it does not come back on until you shut the truck off, open and close the driver door to completely shut the truck off. It takes different lengths of time for it to begin working again. It goes away for a week to a couple of months. It happens under all driving conditions including highway, city, and country driving. Very dangerous because you can barely steer the vehicle. GM needs to stand up and take care of this problem. Others have reported this also.

The truck will cut engine at any speed, totally losing power to breaks, steering, odometers etc. It mostly comes back on after a few seconds and sends a code of many different kids (service park assist, stabiitrac, roll window down and back up, trailer brake assist etc) this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled. This could happen during a critical driving move and could end up deadly. Currently, there are 70,000 miles on this truck and out of standard warranty and will probably cost a lot to fix. (labor mostly) research shows that this is pretty common and very scary. GM even has a service bulletin out (18-na-161) showing that this is a common problem and is very dangerous, thus need to cover the recall right away.

My service power steering alert came up on my dic and lost power steering. When I got home I shut vehicle off and waited 10 minutes and started vehicle up and message was gone and I had power steering. Drove to work next day and was ok. Just before I arrived home, I got the same message and no power steering again. Same scenario as before, let vehicle sit and restart and everything working. I drove for 4 days and on the 5th day it did it again. I had taken it to a GM dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. At the time I took it to them, it was not working. They said that the module 'may' be bad or possibly the steering rack is bad. All codes were communication errors. When I got vehicle home, I checked for any loose wires under dash and the power steering came back. I told them that I know prior year trucks had this issue. I told them this and they said that I need to replace the power steering rack at my cost of $2600 that the vehicle has 100,000 miles on it and things go bad. I told them that it was highway miles and that shouldn't matter.

On Jan 30, 2021 a check engine light appeared on start-up but had no noticeable difference in driving conditions or reading from dash gauges. Checked engine code and it read po6dd, took my truck to a GM dealer and they ran a test showing 20psi too low of oil pressure at the top side of the engine as a result of a failed oil pump solenoid. Was told this could have caused an engine failure. Cost to repair this issue is >$3,000. While the dealership was test driving my truck after repairing the oil solenoid the entire power steering unit failed. The entire power steering unit needs to be replaced and is nearly $1,500 to repair. These problems on a 5 year old vehicle with 103,490 miles seems like a major issue. I reached out to GM and they said that these issues are not under recall and will not be assisting in any costs involved in repairs.

When driving, if I do something electrical, like applying the brakes or using my turn signal, the entire car electrical system shuts off for a second and sometimes jerks the steering wheel out of my hand. It usually restarts immediately on its own while driving. I've had it also while parked with just the radio on, that everything just died. Then it took a few tries before the truck engine turned over to try starting

I have been dealing with transmission issues since I bought the vehicle. There is dirt and sand inside my brake lights, rust under the seats, dirt and rust under the dash, brake calipers are horribly rusted and painted to be covered up by the selling dealership, wiring issues continue to arise and repaired by my mechanic. Trailer brake system is now failing. Steering is having issues now, either bad tie rods or bad cv joints. I have had complete loss of electronic power steering in the past. I suspect this vehicle was in a flood and the dealership covered it up. I have been dealing with this since January of 2019, and I have text records starting April 7th 2019. The vehicle was purchased from a family member's dealership and I bought an extended warranty. They have been less than helpful. Seeking legal help is my last resort.

Warning alarm goes off and power steering goes out happens with vechile in motion

- Newington, GA, USA

As I was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the ac blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as I was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when I backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 Silverado used in 2018 with 24K miles on it. The odometer just turned 50K two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service.I began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so I thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since I am out of warranty I have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly GM is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! I can not believe that GM knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? I also noted that the previous owner, right before I bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by GM and dealer when I bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now I can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!
