The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds a message stated action required, steering assist reduced, drive with care appeared on the instrument panel. Once the message appeared, the vehicle loss power momentarily, and then resumed to normal operation. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 17V414000 (steering). The contact called coulter Buick GMC phoenix (1202 E camelback rd, phoenix, AZ 85014) where they informed him that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The dealer offered no further assistance. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and confirmed the information provided by the dealer. No further assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
150 miles after regular service of engine light/ABS/and stabiltrak lights being on, and an oil change, the truck stalled (luckily I was in my own driveway). Shortly after, the engine light, followed by ABS light came on. Suddenly the speedometer gauge acted wildly, there was a very hard shift. I put it on cruise control just to help the engine quit hard shifting....cc cancelled itself out. Everything sets back to normal for a minute or less and it all happens again, this time taking away power steering and a louder "hard shift". in the mean time, every warning I think there is would pop up...."stabiltrak off, starring assist reduced...etc". this just continues and seems to get more aggressive, more frequent...including resetting to normal briefly each time. Schumacher Buick/GM/Chevy said it could be tcm, or ECM, or another I can't recall. Unhappy with lack of knowledge of issue, and a "let's try this then this then this..", it has perplexed not one but two very accredited mechanic teams. The truck has 130,000 miles, and was serviced as it should have been by the Chevy dealer since iacquired it new. It never had any similar issue until just after its most recent maintenance. Thankfully this all occurred within miles of my home, as the issue is most definitely a threat to any hopes of safety. Towing it, is the only way to safely move that vehicle after experiencing the issues.
When slowing down to make turn ac and radio go out, rpms die down, stablitrak light comes on and goes off truck stalls loose power steering. This started Aug. 10th and happens daily
I got a stabilitrak failure chime and message with a reduced steering assist message and I lost my power assist for a second then it came back. I was fortunate that it was just myself in the truck going slow and pulling into a parking lot. I'd hate to think of my wife behind the wheel going down the freeway with my grand kids inside.
Started making a turn and the truck instantly shut off leading to power steering loss causing me to end up in the opposing lane almost hitting two children and their father on bikes. Father didn't have much patience with me trying to explain that it was a problem with the truck... fix this issue or else it will become a huge liability. Buy back all of these trucks and crush them.

While driving through a public parking lot, at a slow turn the truck stopped dead. No power, barely was able to stop without hitting parked vehicles. To make it even more dangerous than it already was, another car almost hit me because of my sudden stop. I was then trapped in my pickup. Windows and doors would not open. No response from turning the key. This is the second time its happened and both were at low speeds. The first time I thought it was my error. I looked it up on social media and found many others had the same problem. Some people said no recall on such a 'common' and unsafe problem, another said there was a recall open. I was told by GM headquarters no recall. Told by service mgr at the dealership, told me there is a recall issued. Only after I brought it to the dealership, they tell me it'll cost me $364. I asked about what he told me only 3 days earlier of the recall, he then denied it. With the severity of the problem and the numbers of persons who complained, I would think this should be at Chevy's expense. I will be taking the truck on vacation the end of the month. If something should happen, I've instructed our two children to secure a good lawyer and open a wrongful death/injury suit. I will have documentation of the information I reviewed through social media comments along with this complaint and the repairs by this 'certified' dealership at their ready.
Loss of power and steering when parking, turning the steering wheel and when pushing on the brake pedal when making turns atstop signs or at traffic lights.
Loss of power to vehicle when making turns at low speeds on city roads, in parking lots, and on and off highways, you have to place vehicle in park and turn back on. Steering assist and stabilitrak has been becoming disabled on a regular basis along with the steering wheel being jerked out of my hands while making turns on city streets, in parking lots, and on and off the highway. Service stabilitrak and steering assist messages are displayed during these time however do not leave a check engine light no to be scanned. GM dealer states they are not able to duplicate the issue and are not able to fix it. This is a safety concern for me and other drivers on the road.
While driving in reverse I will lose power steering and stability control warning comes on. This has been happening for months now. Today while driving when I put my blinker on the stability control warning went on my lights dimmed and truck was shutting off but then came back on. When turning the stability control came on and my vehicle completely shut off while driving. If I wasn't going down a low traffic street I would have crashed. When driving at night with the ac on when getting on my brakes the headlights dim steering wheel will lock up and the stability control will come on and tries to kill the motor. This for the most time happens when getting in my driveway, today was the first time it happened while driving at higher speeds.
Sometimes when I hold down on the brake pedal some electrical issue happenes and my steering wheel gets very hard my ac turns off my whole dashboard turns off and so does my radio then after about 10 seconds it turns back on. I also noticed that when I'm rolling up the windows my headlights dim. I think somethings wrong with the electrical system of the vehicle I had the battery checked once and it was not the voltage it needed I replaced it with the battery from the dealership it was well for about three months and the issue reoccurred. When I am reversing my steering wheel gets very hard as I'm pressing on the pedal while I'm parking it doesn't do it all the time but it does do it frequently.
My seatbelt has locked on me a couple of times without even being on break an the foot area is extremely hot. I've took it to get serviced an it stills does it. My steering wheel an locked also I just don't drive it like I use to an I'm still paying a note on it.very frustrating.I was driving at all time these problems occurred
While the vehicle is in motion, at high speeds, at low speeds, and while the vehicle is stationary I experience a temporary loss of electronic power steering (eps).
In motion and at low speed, the vehicle stalls out when idling into a tight turn, like a parking lot or space. it hasn't always cut totally off. Usually the 'stability trac' light comes on with the failure, but some times it just cuts off, and when I crank it restarts right up.
After driving approximately 100 miles I returned back to town. As I was slowing the steering wheel jerked a small amount to the left. I slowed to a stop at an intersection. When accelerating and turning left the steering wheel jerked three times. After that I turned into the wal-mart parking lot. Slowed to make a right turn. This time the wheel jerked very hard to the right and the engine shut off. I was able to stop. Put the truck into park restart the engine and move to a safe location out of traffic.
Stabilitrek flashes and then vehicles steering locks up and the truck dies. Usually it's when I'm going slow and usually it's when I'm turning. This is happening now in August of 2020 but also happened a few years ago and then there was a recall. It's very dangerous. No warning and the truck dies very unexpectedly. Please fix this problem I see others are complaining too
I am having issues with my 2914 Silverado losing power steering and turning off when I place the car in reverse to back into a parking spot. The truck has also cut off randomly when turning the steering wheel in a parking lot. The issue is not constant thus hard to diagnose. I have taken the truck to Chevy twice and the mechanics were not able to recreate the issue.

I was slowing down to make a right turn, I didn't have to come to a complete stop but when the vehicle got below 15mph or so. The steering locked up. And it acted like I had turned the vehicle off. All of the lights went off, inside and out. And the vehicle died. Luckily it didn't cause an accident and it did start up and I was able to get it home but since then the lights flicker and the touch screen radio goes black and won't do anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. and the steering feels like one minute you have power steering and the next you don't now.
