Yesterday i was driving home on the highway driving approximately 75mph when without any warning a stability steering control light flashed on the dashboard behind my steering wheel. The car immediately jolted from driving mid 70's down to an immediate 67mph. This speed limit was the last thing that flashed before my dashboard blacked out, the steering column locked and the vehicle entirely lost power while driving.…

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…

Truck has stopped on random occasions since purchased in july 2017. Been to two different dealers who have yet to diagnose issue. Simply loss of steering and electrical power. 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.

Twice while turning right at a moderate speed the stabilitrac system took over and started counter-steering to the left while still moving around a right hand corner. Prior to this the stabilitrac warning was intermittently alarming at random. The vehicle also lost all power and the motor died at one point. Dealership thought it may be attributed to a loose ground wire that they had found underneath the dashboard.

My truck loses power steering when turning left and practically comes to a stop mid turn. It takes approx. 5 seconds to be able to continue through the turn. Stabilitrak notifications constantly alert on the dash for traction control, steering assist, etc and when doing slow maneuvering the a/c, stereo, and steering assist shutdown for a split second. Recall is open under n172085440 for 2 weeks now and i know other…

On or about 4 april, 2017 i experienced an alarm while driving my 2014 gmc sierra. While traveling between conroe tx and plano tx, i received a warning steering stability. The alarm cleared so i checked my owners manual and it said to take it to a dealer if it didn't clear. I used onstar and had a diagnosis done on the truck. They reported no problems. The next day the truck shut down, in the middle of making a u…

When driving recently, my check engine light started flashing along with my stabilitrak light coming on. The vehicle started vibrating. The vibrating was especially rough while idle. The vibration was also rough while in lower gears and while braking. When brought in for service i was told it was a corroded ignition coil. This is the second time this has happened. I bought the vehicle new and it currently has about…

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…

Steering wheel springs/snaps (hard) in the opposite direction that the wheel is being turned and steering control is lost. When this does not shut the engine off, the only way to regain steering control is to restart the vehicle. When this does cause the engine to shut off the steering is restored with the restart. The stabili trak indicator appears just for an instant on the dic when this happens. Note: this is not…

The problem started while backing a trailer and turning. The stabiltrack light came on and the steering wheel jerked out of my hand. It happened a few more times and then the truck died. Later while driving the stabilitrack light would flash on and the dic would go black. The a.c. Would also go out and come back on. It would also do this when turning on the signal light or stepping on the brake pedal. I was in a…

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,…
