This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while her son was driving approximately 7 mph, the vehicle lost power steering which made the steering wheel difficult to turn which resulted in a crash with another vehicle that was parked. A police report was filed. The traction control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to local dealer. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 17V414000 (steering) however the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of failure and told the contact that their vehicle had no recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 134,231.
Truck displays loss of power steering and shuts off everything electrical. When I'm driving at any speeds and turn steering way to fast to either side I'll get message stability trak turned off and followed by radio losing power. Sometimes truck shuts off completely and sometimes truck just acts like it wants to shut off but remains on. There's times where I'll get the message for driver window to roll up and down and windows lose power. I've taken truck to dealership several of times just to lose out on money every time because they haven't fixed the problem and just keep charging.
Driving down hill at 25 mph and all of a sudden I lost control of my power steering. Fortunately I was able to stop just before hitting an embankment. The repair requires a complete electrical assist component. Quote of $1,750 on August 2017 I received a recall for the eps assist. The software was completed by kendall Chevy in August of that year.
Whenever pulling into parking lot slowly or reverse parking complete loss of power, have to put in park to restart vehicle. Usually while turning vehicle happens at least once a day.
This problem was a recall and was repaired before at no cost. Now it is happening again. I took a 100 mile round trip day trip...on the way back I got a steering warning that flashed 2 times on my dashboard while going 75 mph on the highway. Then when turning into my subdivision the truck stalled and I lost all power steering. This happened one other time in a home depot parking lot. I feel the truck is unsafe to drive. And I haul a 36 foot travel trailer occasionally. Obviously this is the second time the same thing has happened...the first time it was a free recall repair...please advise on how to proceed. I plan to trade the truck in asap due to the fact that my husband and I are up in age and no longer able to travel.
At low speeds especially when turning, a sudden loss of steering control happens. It becomes really hard to turn the vehicle. Then a few different messages pop up "stabilitrak" and "parking assist is of" and sometimes the truck completely turns off while I'm driving and no matter where I am I have to put it in park and turn the truck back on. This has happened to me about 7 times in the last two weeks.
Truck loses powering steering in slow turn maneuvers. Also occasionally the truck will lose all power and turn off randomly while driving. In addition headlights and panel lights dim when turning steering wheel and braking.
After traveling 50 highway miles, when I was making a slow left hand turn onto a residential street, my vehicle lost power steering, lost power brakes, lost onstar, and the engine shut off. I proceeded to turn manually and stop ending up in the opposite lane. If a car was in the lane it would have been an accident. After some time, the vehicle restarted and I had no problems for now 8 days. While travelling at speed, stabilitrak warning intermittently came on a few times and steering felt loose at times when changing lanes. Vehicle was part of the 17276 safety recall on 8/10/2017. This problem has occurred multiple times since 2018 and has been in the dealership 3 times for this problem: Once for 17272 in 2017, once clearing codes-paid over $ 100 for a diagnostic analysis they cleared codes, no repair 9/30/2019, once cannot repeat 9/03/2020, and once upgrading software 1/7/2020. Short time stabilitrak warnings ABS warning and notice to raise driver's side window up and down came on multiples times. Clearly GM chev has not solved this software logic problem and cannot fix a clear significant safety issue.
When I'm driving the truck the steering wheel turn to the right side very dangerous when you are driving 45 to 70 miles I'm call the dealer and no recall for this problem
Stabilitrak off window randomly appeared on my dash. Followed by radio shutting off, wipers going erratically, horn honking, steering wheel locked up, and cruise control shut off all as I was driving on a major highway
Multiple times moving at slow speeds the vehicle shuts off and all kinds of warnings pop up. Service power steering, service stabilitrak, service trailer brake controller, check engine light ect. When the vehicle does this it loses all power and the steering wheel violently jerks itself to one side. You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Silverado 2014 crew cab 5.3 with 79500 miles
While backing up or parked steering wheel gets really hard and the lights go dim radio turns off and a sign in the monitor showing steering assist is reduced drive with care

You can tell when it's about to happen because the power steering will intermittently start to struggle and go out and then the whole thing shuts down. Pulling into a parking space at a local gas station it almost jerked me into a parked car. Luckily it hasn't happened at a high rate of speed or it will certainly lead to serious injury or death. There are multiple complaints on the net on multiple forums for this specific issue for these specific models and years. My truck has roughly 44000 miles on it. I feel as if I'm getting the runaround at the dealership. Like I stated earlier this has happened multiple times to me and there are thousands out there in the same situation as me. This is a serious safety concern that GM needs to address and fix.
It is too bad I can not check all that apply! I have the same problems as other people loosing steering and getting the stabiltrack message at low speeds. When this happens you loose all power and the lights all dim. I also have begun to noticed that while driving down the highway in cruise control any turn of the vehicle with the steering wheel kills the cruise control. I also have the trailer, break system message flash randomly at low speeds without a trailer or pulling anything this is just annoying the other problems are major safety issues!!! I have had this truck in the dealership several times had very poor customer service and wasn't even told about the recalls that were on it. However, I don't seem to see any recalls for the problems that I have and that thousands of other people are describing with the electrical issue and stabiltrack at low speeds. I also want to add that the rear seatbelts in this vehicle are complete junk.
When driving down the street every time I slowed down to do a turn or stopped at a stop sign my steering wheel locked up and my truck turned off on its own. It only did this when I slowed down to turn and to stop. It happened 3 times back to back.
Numerous incidents while driving and making a turn into a public parking lot from a 55 mph hwy, all power went off, engine died and just before this steering was very hard to turn, stabil track light has been coming on. GM dealer stated maybe bad battery, I had the new battery checked and it is good
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the stibili-trac warning light flashed while turning the steering wheel before the steering wheel suddenly became very difficult to turn in either direction. While merging into traffic, several dashboard warning lights were displayed while the doors erroneously unlocked. The driver almost lost control of the vehicle due to the loss of power steering and power brakes. After stopping the vehicle and switching to the park position, the vehicle suddenly shutoff and could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer atlantic Cadillac located at 1350 sunrise hwy, bayshore, NY 11706, however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or determine the cause of the failures. The battery was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but, no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 60,000.
