Silverardo 2016 1500 pick up truck suddenly lost power steering with no warning. Truck is in fine operating condition, there are no current recalls for steering for this year. Wife was driving. The truck was in motion on the highway exit. Pulled over. I went out to get the truck looked for any issues. Restarted truck power steering worked then failed again after 5 minutes. Drove the truck to a parking lot. Restarted truck and power steering works. While some persons may be able to steer the truck to a safe spot, it is difficult and takes a significant amount of upper body strength to control the vehicle. How do I safely let my wife drive this car? I am worried that this previous defect/issue was not properly addressed by Chevrolet. Thank you

Service power steering came on, car was completely unable to control with zero steering assist. Extremely dangerous almost hit multiple cars turning at low speed. Dealership claims the code C056D but is taking zero responsibility charging outrageous prices for an electrical unit that has failed in less than 70,000 miles.

My 2016 Silverado steering wheel locks up and all of the power in my vehicle shuts off. It only happens when I'm turning but I cannot move the wheel in any direction. This problem is very dangerous and could lead to injury or death. I was almost involved in a head collision this morning because of it. Not to mention that not one Chevrolet mechanic or auto dealer knows what I'm talking about or even acts like they care. This problem has been well documented in older model Silverado's and 2016 Silverado should be included. It's only a matter of time before someone is killed because of this problem and now their is documentation.

1st I notice my info screen would black out and come back on then a service camera message would come on once in awhile. Now every once in awhile the stabilitirak will come on my screen and the steering wheel will jerk violently out of my hand. Very dangerous. Up to this point it has been at slow speeds...(under 30 mph).

First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note I have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds.starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so I started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work I got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.

While attempting to make a left turn the "trailer brake system" light appeared on the dash and the steering locked up causing me to drive straight into the woods nearly hitting a tree. The truck lost all power including lights and then everything came back on as normal and the steering was no longer locked up. A week prior while sitting still at a drive through window the same incident with the steering lock up and warning light happened while attempting to pull out. It was brief and all systems returned to normal.

Electronic power steering suddenly stopped working. Vehicle is a 2016 Chevrolet truck with 25,852 miles. A very dangerous thing to happen with a male driver. I shudder to think what would have happen if the sudden loss of power steering had happened to my wife on a curvy road. GM has recalled 1 million plus 14-15 GM vehicles over this problem. They say the 2016 is not in the recall. The $1,500 plus dollar cost is on me. Why is GM being allowed to continue selling vehicles with electronic steering?

At 63000 my truck started making clicking and popping noises in the front end. The truck was taken to the dealership and it was determined that the electronic rack and pinion was bad. This problem is exibited in 2014 GM trucks as well and the issue should be looked into. A failing asisted steering could be dangerous and cause big problems.

The truck will yank the steering wheel back and forth, multiple electrical errors will occur and the engine sometimes dies while the truck is moving at slow speeds and turning. A stabilitrack error shows on the dash. This happens almost daily.this truck is accident free and appears in excellent condition.

My battery failed at 53,000 miles, and after changing the battery the electronic power steering would not work. I've also noticed electrical issues with the display panel, and the stereo changing channels. I've taken the car to the dealership in roseville, ca. And await details on repair.

Car stalls and restarts when driving and turning. Car won't turn or go. Have almost wrecked multiple times. Says something about stabilitrak

- Garden City, MI, USA

While turning onto a road, I turned the steering wheel approximately 20% and suddenly the steering wheel kicked back hard nearly breaking my wrist. Once I pulled off I was able to repeat the process several times in either direction, I have video of this issue. When it kicked back, I would lose all electrical power to dash instrumentation and also upon power coming back on, I would get stabilitrak errors and the vehicle and traction controlled would be turned off.

I was driving down my street. Waiting to turn left to wait at stoplight. When going I couldn't turn the steering wheel. Traffic was coming from both sides when failure occurred. The only thing that saved my life was to continue straight through to the other side of the street. This incident could've killed me if was traveling at higher speeds. Total loss of control of the vehicle. This is a major safety issue.

My truck has a defective electric power steering system that is known to be defected as the same system was recalled for all other models equipped with ut but because my vehicle is a special version the company expects me the customer to pay for this 4 figure repair out of pocket knowing the system is defective the steering just quit out of nowhere for no apparent reason it worked fine then went to drive it and it didn't have power steering it was stationary at the time I got in to go to the store and steering was gone
