During driving, the stability sensors would go off and show up stating stability turned off, or power steering turned off. The voltage on vehicle would suddenly drop from 15 to 9 and then back up. This will usually turn off the interior lights and electronics. I have discussed this with other 2014 sierra and silverado owners and they all advised this was occuring on their vehicles. There is a ground wire that was…

Several times while driving and making turns the vehicle completely died and all electronics went black. This caused a complete loss of steering and control while turning across traffic. The steering wheel would shake and jerk in the opposite direction as well. Once i came to a stop i would have to put it back in park and restart. I am very lucky that that there was no cross traffic in these moments, as this could…

For the past few weeks i have had a power problem on my truck. I have got in the truck and nothing was on and engine wouldn't crank. I would get out of my truck and wiggle the negative line on the battery and the truck would regain power. I cleaned off all corrosion (not anything significant)that was on the connecter. Yesterday as i was taking a turn into my neighborhood the truck lost all power. I was able to cost…

When i turn the ignition to start the vehicle, it acts as if the battery is drained. Then there's a message that pops up briefly stating "stabilitrak". I'm concerned this is about to get much worse. The vehicle was stationary at the time of the message.

In the past 4 months, beginning at about 52k miles, i started receiving messages on my truck that said "stability control" was out and it locks the front left wheel, losing all steering, the radio and then the truck goes completely dead. The ac goes on/off and the headlights flicker. This is always at low speeds between 5-10 mph and most commonly when making a turn. I had the battery replaced at the dealership and…

Each time it goes to dealer ,they cannot replicate error. Could be related to recall n172085440 but not sure at this point. Have a video of last instance of issue on august 5, 2017 but unable to load.

First instance: (this issue happened three times in one day before being able to be repaired) without warning the vehicle lost all power and the motor died while traveling at approx. 35mph for several seconds. When it powered back up everything was reset as if the battery had been disconnected. The dealership found a "loose ground wire" underneath the dashboard and attributed the occurrence to this. Second…

Recall is open under n172085440 for 2 weeks now and i know other…

Got a steering stability indication while driving across a bumpy strip on the highway. Later, i would get the indicator, and when i did a hard turn, i.e. 90 degrees, the engine would die. The dealership isolated the problem to a broken gear in the electric power assist, and replaced the negative power cable on the battery. The cost of the repair would have been about $3600.00, but gm paid about 75%. It was…

Driving at low speeds in rush hour traffic and "degraded steering" warning with chime sounded. Cleared itself and then chimed again with same warning about three minutes later. This was followed by stabilitrack warning and red brake warning. Steering was somewhat harder to turn but was still being assisted. There didn't appear to be any degradation to braking. Maybe the anti-lock system? The a/c then turned off and…

Written by my wife on 11/04/16: on 11/02/16 at approximately 2:45 pm i was driving slowly through a parking lot trying to find a space. I found a space and as i turned my wheel to the left it locked up roughly, jerking the steering wheel out of my hands as i pulled into the spot. After the steering wheel locked up, jerking very abruptly, the power surged and the truck died. This is probably the 30th time this has…

This issue is related to stabilitrak, the onboard computing system. When on the interstate, loss of power can occur. Usually at high speeds, the power just 'flickers' on and off, some times repeatedly. The breaking mechanism seems to be somewhat affected by this. At slower speeds, the same problem can occur, but the steering wheel locks up and forces my truck to turn hard to the left. Each time the problem occurs,…
