I am experiencing episodic loss of power steering assist without warning. This lasts for several seconds then power steering is restored. "StabiliTrak” message may be displayed during the event. On one occasion my radio also went off when my power steering failed. On one occasion my vehicle died shortly after losing power steering which almost resulted in me having a motor vehicle accident. I reported the problem to the GMC dealership and have scheduled the next available appointment to have it serviced.

Rack and pinion went out and installed a new oem remanufactured one from GM directly. The dealership programmed it but it is facing the same issues for the steering going out at low speeds. The recall was already performed but on the old part. GM Program # N172085440 In the parking lot it goes out and I was driving and slowing down for a turn when the steering went out for 3 seconds going 15 mph then returned.

Power steering was going in and out then all of a sudden completely went out.

Electrical glitches happen at both, low speeds and while on the roadway. My steering wheel tightens up and I get a message on the dashboard “Stabilitrak” and another one “assisted steering reduced, drive with care”. My vehicle even shut off on me after pulling in to a parking space after turning steering wheel completely to one side

I know this is a well known issue with these trucks. Have had issues with power steering not working at low speeds which they claim it’s do to low voltage. This has happened numerous times and then on May 3rd I went to back into my driveway off a busy state route with hills on each end of the road. Put my hazard lights on let three vehicles pass and then I turned the wheel and gave it gas soon as the truck got into the middle of the road it shut off. Everything stopped working no hazard lights for about 10seconds and then I had to put the truck into park turn ignition key off and then back on to restart the truck. Again this is all do to low voltage from what everyone else has said with the same issue. There are no warnings what so every even the voltage meter is fine and the truck doesn’t hesitate at all it’s like someone disconnected the battery. I’m sure there is a way for GM to reprogram the pc for the voltage drop. At least have something like radio go out or ac, heat other than the engine and entire electrical shutting off. Something like this is going to get someone killed and GM should be held accountable for these problems.

The power steering started going out and then comes back on, which is very dangerous!

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the power steering assist intermittently failed to operate as needed with the "Steering Assist Reduced - Drive with Care" message displayed. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V414000 (Steering) which was linked to the failure. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the contact was informed that the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall and that the vehicle was no longer under recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

At slow speeds, multiple times, I have had the truck completely have an electrical failure and the engine shut off. I have replaced the negative battery cable and ensured all connections are good. This has happened on streets when turning and in parking lots. When this happens all of the screens in the truck flicker and the service stabilitrack light comes on and then everything goes out, to include the engine. Myself, my family, and other drivers have been out at risk when the truck completely shuts off on a street. The dealership has not been able to give me an answer. There are many forums online where the 2014-2018 year models of this and similar GM vehicles have had the same problem. We need a specific fix for this before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

At low speeds, while turning rapidly steering would get stiff and then come back on.On two occasions, lights would flicker and a steering power loss warning would briefly appear, and then disappear

Steering will drop out / skip. Electical items have been an issue since I purcased this truck new. Dealer could never find why the wipers trigger randomly when truck is turned on. Truck randomy dies overnight.

My truck shuts off in the middle of driving. Completely losing power to anything electric. I can not unlock or lock the door, the windows, hazard lights, steer the wheel to help me move. I can’t do anything. I have almost crashed.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH and attempting a left turn, the steering wheel became stiff and jerked to the right.

Severe gas smell. Brakes hardly stop truck. Service stabilitrac. Paint peel. Steering clunking. Antifreeze leaking

NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V246000 Q1- my steering column is faulty and it is on the verge of collapse. Q2- every time I hit a pot hole my truck loses control for a second and it has gotten progressively worse. The car sways from left to right without me moving the steering wheel. Q3- I’ve been having suspension problems that have become worse and worse after being told I’m having suspension problems. I fix what I am suggested too and the problems have worsened. Q4 yes it has been inspected and the issue has been overlooked. Q5 if I try to drive the truck again it will fail, I changed my rotors at the beginning of last month and the two front side rotors have been warped and replaced as of Saturday. I drove my truck just fine until tonight I began losing control of it two times. My brakes are beginning to fail. My brand new rotors have been ruined in less than two days. That’s 4 new rotors in a month. When I arrived at home I opened the hood and applied a very small amount of pressure on the steering columns shaft and it had a lot of play. I added a little more pressure and it moves a lot it felt like I could’ve taken it apart with my hands if I really tried. I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t be able to move the steering column shaft with only my hands if the truck is off.

Recall on brakes says it's fixed. My brakes fail alot suspension chunks all the time and steering feels like tire is falling off

The truck started making a grinding noise when turning steering wheel left and right. I took the truck to local GM dealer/mechanic for inspection. It was diagnosed as a failing steering rack and recommended replacing the steering rack. A failed steering rack can cause partial or complete loss of steering and potential vehicle accident. As of this time, GMC cannot provide a replacement steering rack and there is no estimated availability timeline.

In the process of making a right turn my power steering suddenly quit working causing my vehicle to cross over into oncoming traffic. There was an eighteen wheeler that had to make a lane change to avoid a collision. At this time I had a warning light come on stating a problem with the power steering. I was able to slowly drive the vehicle to a local repair shop. The shop had to reprogram the steering module. I know my model had a safety recall for that very issue and I had it repaired at a GMC dealer in 2017. Apparently the problem still exists and I called GMC Corporate and was told that my vehicle had been repaired and was to old for any assistance. I now have no confidence in my vehicle knowing that this problem could occur at any time.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The failure nearly caused a collision.

Whenever driving I get a message stating that I need to service my trailer brake system. This is most likely due to cheap wiring installed by the manufacture. This has been going on for over a couple of months. Just recently, I was making a slow turn and my vehicle shut off on me and I lost control of my brakes and steering and all power to the vehicle which is a huge safety concern and I am unsure if they are related or not

When I slow down to make a turn, my truck loses power making the turn very dangerous. I lose control of the vehicle for a few seconds due to loss of power. It is very dangerous for me to make turns.

Lose power steering at low speeds typically in a low speed turn. Stabilitrack warning appears on the dash and sometimes lose power to the entire dash including radio and A/C.

Stability control Truck felt no power and on off on again It happened suddenly How to fix?

When turning 30 mph and under the eps (power steering) cuts out randomly for a second or less and jerks the wheel only causing a slight swerve so far but has me worried and I'll be paying for the software update out of pocket since my truck isn't in the recall even though other 2014 sierras are recalled.

The contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, the power steering failed. Additionally, the dashboard lights and headlights became dim, and the HVAC system shut-off inadvertently. The stabilitrak and "Reduction in power steering" warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle functioned normally moments later. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by a dealer or independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was a recall related to the failure that was already repaired and to take the vehicle to a dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V414000 (Steering). The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Driving at certain speeds the truck will just shut off while trying to turn or merge onto the highway. The electronic steering draws to much voltage on the vehicle and it just dies turning and braking after that is a very serious safety hazard and should be looked into I’m a mechanic myself and I’ve replaced grounds done everything I can and still nothing has fixed the issue

We have been told that the recall #17V414 has been completed on our vehicle. However, we have only owned this pickup a little over a year and now the power steering has gone out again. it is throwing a code U0131 which says it is lost communication with power steering control module. We have been told that the power steering module needs to be replaced. I would like to delve into how many people have had to replace this (which is a very EXPENSIVE repair). I truly feel this is still a defect and GMC should own this problem. Thank you for your time.

I was driving on the freeway going about 70 miles a hours lost steering assist about 2 to 3 second. I was driving straight road If was driving in a turn would of lost control maybe hit other cars. Please help with this this.

Lost power steering while parking. Dash board got alert power steering disable drive with care .

When you push on the break the vehicle’s power shuts down. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. When steering wheel is turned it dies. After this happens stabilizer light comes on and power steering assist comes on. No inspection has been done called dealership and they said the recall from 2014 had already been done. This is a very serious issue when driving in traffic and I do not want to be in or cause an accident

I had made a appointment to get the recalls resolved at the dealership and I made appointment and everything and they call to confirm thru out the week and then when I showed up they said they couldn’t fix it cause it was a branded title and they didn’t even offer me any other way of fixing it .

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SPANNING MULTIPLE YEARS THE TRUCK LOSES POWER WHILE BRAKING AND TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS. ON MORE RARE OCCASIONS, BUT STILL NUMEROUS, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS WITHOUT TURNING. THE TRUCK DASH LIGHTS, MEDIA SCREEN AND HEADLIGHTS ALL DIM OR FLICKER AS A TICKING OR POPPING NOISE IS HEARD BEHIND THE DASH MUCH LIKE AN ARCHING ELECTRICAL WIRE. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THESE SCENARIOS HAPPEN THE DISPLAY ON THE DRIVERS DISPLAY SCREEN READS STABILTRAK WARNING. ALSO WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE TURNING AND BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER AND POWER STEERING AS WELL AS ASSISTED BRAKING. ONCE THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP THE IGNITION, AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD. IN ORDER TO START THE TRUCK AGAIN, I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK, OPEN THE ENGINE HOOD AND OSCILLATE BOTH THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE BATTERY CABLES. MOST OF THE TIME THE TRUCK WILL START UP AFTER DOING THIS. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO USE BOOSTER CABLES TO GET IT TO START. NEITHER THE CABLES OR THE TERMINAL CONNECTORS ARE LOOSE AS THEY HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER SERVICE TECH AND A LOCAL MECHANIC.

IN FACT, THERE HAS BEEN OCCASION WHEN IT APPEARED TO ME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL APPEARED TO SOMEWHAT STICK OR BRIEFLY FREEZE, AGAIN IN THIS LEFT A HARD LEFT TURN AT A SLOW SPEED. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER TODAY, THE SERVICE MANAGER EVIDENCED THE SAME ISSUE; ALTHOUGH, HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM SUGGESTING THAT I RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR THEIR SERVICE AND REVIEW OVER A DAY WHEN I CAN LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH THEM.

AND SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS MY HEADLIGHTS WILL DIM (HWY, CITY STREETS, PARKING LOTS). WHEN I'M TURNING SLOWLY (IN PARKING LOTS) THE STEELING WILL OCCASIONALLY LOCK UP AND ONCE IT LOST POWER ENTIRELY. MY BATTERY WAS TESTED AT BIGO AND SAID IT WAS FINE. I'VE SEEN THIS ONLINE A LOT FOR THIS TRUCK AND SIMILAR YEARS, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A RESOLUTION. WITH SO MANY INCIDENTS I'M SHOCKED THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX OR ANY IDEA WHAT IS WRONG.

INTERMITTENTLY GETTING "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST POWER REDUCED" MESSAGES WHILE TURNING LEFT AT SPEEDS 30MPH OR LESS. EACH TIME I RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN AND JERKS. SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS DIED BUT RESTARTED ITSELF. ON 2 OCCASIONS ( THANKFULLY IN A PARKING LOT AWAY FROM TRAFFIC) THE VEHICLE DIED AFTER THESE MESSAGES AND WOULD NOT RESTART, NO SYSTEMS WOULD RESPOND TO TURNING THE KEY FOR SEVERAL CYCLES. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I ALSO RECEIVED AN ANTI-THEFT MESSAGE AS WELL. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS BUT GM IS NOT LISTING MY VIN AS AN AFFECTED VEHICLE.

THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING, ENGINE AND POWER BRAKING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEEMS TO REBOOT AND TURN BACK ON AFTER A SECOND OR TWO. THIS ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR AFTER HITTING THE TURN SIGNAL. I HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DOING 50MPH ON THE HIGH JUST BECAUSE I TURNED MY TURN SIGNAL ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 4 WEEKS OR SO. YOU CAN TELL IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS START DEEMING WHEN TAPPING THE BRAKES OR USING THE TURN SIGNAL. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL TEMPERATURES. AFTER IT HAPPENS THE CONSOLE STATES "STABLITRAK IS DISABLED".

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 4-5 TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK DRIVING BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. WHILE DRIVING, A WARNING OR NOTIFICATION POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN STATING STABILITRACK OFF OR STEERING ASSIST OFF, WHICH STIFFENS THE STEERING WHEEL AND I CAN'T TURN THE TRUCK AT ALL. AT ONE POINT, THE NOTIFICATIONS POPPED UP AND THEN MY A/C WENT OFF AND RADIO WENT OFF ALONG WITH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND THEN RESTART AT WHICH POINT IT CAME BACK ON AND WORKED UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND ASSESS WHAT HAD OCCURRED. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-996-9463) AND ADVISE THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A RECALL (#17276 - LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST), BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VIN#. IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2014 MODELS OF BOTH CHEVROLET SILVERADO LD AND GMC SIERRA LD VEHICLES, WHEREAS MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 GMC SIERRA LTD. THEY ADVISED THAT A GMC DEALER COULD "REPROGRAM THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE", BUT THE COST WOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET AND THEY WOULDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT OR RECALL ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUSLY THE FACT I HAVE KIDS AND TRANSPORT THEM TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND SPORTING EVENTS. I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND I'M SURPRISED THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED OR ACKNOWLEDGED BY GMC.

WHILE TRAVELING TO DENVER COLORADO, MY POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AT RANDOM ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, AND IT CAME BACK ON. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW, IT WENT OUT PERMANENTLY AND I WAS STRANDED UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. IT TOOK 3 DAYS TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED, AND THE WHOLE STEERING SYSTEM, RACK AND PINION, HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME OVER $2,500 TO FIX AND GET BACK HOME SAFELY. I WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 75MPH ON I-70 WEST WHEN THE STEERING WENT OUT THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND IT WENT OUT AND NEARLY CAUSED A WRECK.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAY, STABILLITRAK DEACTIVATES, POWER STEERING ASSIST DEACTIVATES AND THE STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT, AIRBAGS DEACTIVATE, TURN SIGNALS BECOME INOPERABLE, RADIO SHUTS OFF, AIR CONDITIONING SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHILE AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING SLOW TURNS AS THE POWER STEERING GIVES OUT AND THE TRUCK INSTANTLY BECOMES NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE (UNCONTROLLABLE FOR MY WIFE) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS PERFORM A SERVICE BULLETIN. ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NEW BULLETIN THAT HAD A FIX FOR THE G218 GROUND. I CUT BACK THE SOUND DEADENING FROM THE GROUND, YET THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE EITHER. THE TRUCK HAS DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES AND IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HOW CAN LOSING STEERING, AIRBAGS, STABILITY CONTROL, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE OCCURRED. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, AND THIS TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE IN MY LANE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES. VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM A FIT MALE WITH STRONG ARMS AND IT WAS ALMOST MORE STEERING RESISTANCE THAN I COULD MANAGE. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO A PERSON WITH VERY MUCH LESS UPPER BODY STRENGTH, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL TROUBLE, AS THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAILED ELECTRIC POWERED RACK AND PINION (STEERING GEAR). THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING, AND THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE APPARENTLY SHORTED OUT STEERING GEAR.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GMC TO REPAIR ON 9/21/2018. MY STEERING HAD ALREADY HAD A RECALL IN 2017 IN WHICH THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE. ONE YEAR, 9/11/2018, LATER, I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THEY HAD ANOTHER CUSTOMER IN THE WEEK BEFORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HE ALSO STATED THEY HAD RECEIVED AN INTERNAL MEMO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE FIX WAS CHANGING OUT THE BATTERY CABLES. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $800 FOR THIS REPAIR. BASED ON THE INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN ABOUT THE INTERNAL MEMO AND THE OTHER CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME ISSUE, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I CONTACTED GMC ABOUT MY CONCERNS; THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND THE DANGEROUS SITUATION OF LOSING STEERING. ANNABELLE WITH GMC BASICALLY SAID THERE WERE A LOT MORE DANGEROUS ISSUES REPORTED. IT SEEMS THE VEHICLE ISSUE HAS TO RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH BEFORE THEY WILL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE STEERING BECAUSE OF A BINDING/CLUNKING NOISE WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE NOISE AT THAT TIME. AROUND 17.000 MILES, THE NOISE HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO LOCATE IT AND REPLACED THE STEERING BOX AS WELL AS THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. AGAIN, A LITTLE AFTER 30,000 MILES THE NOISE WAS BACK BUT INTERMITTENT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HEAR IT AND SAID THE STEERING WAS FINE. YESTERDAY, WITH 40,000 MILES, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE STEERING GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AS SOMETHING IS BINDING INSIDE ON THE REPLACEMENT STEERING BOX. GM IS DENYING THIS ISSUE YET MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2014 GMC SIERRA HAVE OR HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ONE TECHNICIAN EVEN TOLD ME HIS STEERING GEAR BOX ON HIS 2014 1500 SIERRA HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLEY FAILED. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ELECTRONIC GEAR BOX WAS INTRODUCED IN 2014 AND CHANGED FOR A DIFFERENT STEERING BOX IN 2015 MODELS. AN APPARENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PROBLEM.

ON MAKING A TURN AT LOW SPEED, MY ENGINE HAS CUT OUT COMPLETELY. I HAD FULL LOSS OF ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING ,AC, RADIO. I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE TO GET TO SAFETY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 20 DAYS.TWICE IN CITY TRAFFIC, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY, TURNING OFF FOR GAS. THE "SERVICE STEERING ASSIST" LIGHT APPEARED. I TOOK THE TRUCK FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC AT A LOCAL ELECTRIC REPAIR SHOP, FOR $170.00. THE TECH FOUND NOTHING AFTER HOOKING MY TRUCK TO HIS COMPUTER. THE DAY I RETRIEVED MY TRUCK FROM THE ELECTRICAL SHOP, I STOPPED IN WALMART FOR GROCERIES. MY KEY FOB WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK MY DOORS. I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE TRUCK TO DETERMINE THAT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AT ALL. NO PANEL/ INTERIOR LIGHTS, NO RESPONSE IN IGNITION,NO AUTOMATIC UNLOCKING, THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ROADSIDE SERVICE CAME TO TOW IT, AND THE TRUCK WAS JUMPSTARTED FROM HIS BATTERY PACK. THE KEY FOB BEGAN TO WORK, UNLOCKING,ETC. I TOWED THE TRUCK HOME. I HAVE VIN CHECKED MY TRUCK AND THERE ARE NONE BUT I BELIEVE MY VEHICULAR FAILURE REFERS TO GM PART 573 SAFETY RECALL 17V-414 REGARDING THE LOSS OF EPS.

I TEMPORARILY HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROACHING A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION I MERGED INTO THE CENTER OF ST TO PASS A TRASHCAN AND IN THE PROCESS OF RETURNING TO MY CORRECT POSITION ON THE ROAD I SUDDENLY HAD NO STEERING. PANICKING FROM THE LOSS I PRESSED MY BRAKES AN ATTEMPT TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE TIRES BEGAN A SLIDE ONCE NOTICING THE TRACTION LOSS I PROCEEDED TO RELEASE BRAKES AND REAPPLY IN HOPES OF GAINING TRACTION THE BRIEF RELIEF FROM BRAKES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REGAIN TRACTION AND WHILE I STILL HAVE NO CONTROL OVER STEERING, THE VEHICLE JERKS TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES BEING REAPPLIED THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SLIDE OFF PAVEMENT MAKING CONTACT WITH STOP SIGN AND TELEPHONE POLE.

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 NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED UNDER THE DASH WHICH CAUSES HIGH RESISTANCE MATERIAL TO CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DURING ONE OF MY DRIVES TO WORK GOING 60 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT OFF AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WHILE COASTING ON NO POWER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD CONTINUE TO GO. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK WHILE STATIONARY AS WELL. AFTER MANY FORUM DISCUSSION THIS ALL RELATED BACK TO THE GROUND WIRE NOT BEING PROPERLY INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

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 TURN. MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT SHE HAD KNOCKED IT OUT OF GEAR BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO START UNTIL SHE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN (THIS TIME TO MY WIFE) TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SHE TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY FOUND A BROKEN GEAR IN THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST ASSEMBLY. WE HEARD THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD A RECALL # 17276, FOR PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND HAD THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. I THEN ASK FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR HAVING TO HAVE THE STEERING MODULE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE REPLACED. I CONTEND THAT, AT THE TIME, THE CAUSE OF THE STEERING PROBLEM CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DIE. WHEN I ASK A TECHNICIAN AT MCKINNEY IF THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PROBLEM, HE SAID: NO THAT IS JUST TO CHANGE AN ERROR IN THE COMPUTER. BACK IN APRIL, THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO TO POSSIBLY PREVENT THE STALLING WAS TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING LIKE A POWER PROBLEM. BEFORE I TOOK THE TRUCK IN I HAD NO INDICATION OF POWER PROBLEMS AND I WAS NEVER TOLD HOW THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WENT BAD, ONLY THAT IT HAPPENS AND THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF THE 36 MO WARRANTY. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE PROBLEM AND WHAT THE SOLUTION TO IT WAS? I SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE PROBLEM, BUT NOBODY KNEW WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED IT.

RELATED OR UNRELATED, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL I NOTICE A 1/2 SECOND DIMMING OF HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS BEFORE THEY RETURN TO NORMAL BRIGHTNESS. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED FINE BY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAYS VEHICLE VIN IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY RECALLS. DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO REPLACE POWER STEERING GEAR FOR $2,500 WHICH THEY "THINK" MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM. DON'T WANT TO SPEND $2,500 WITHOUT CERTAINTY IT IS THE PROBLEM.

WHEN MAKING A FULL TURN TO THE LEFT WITH MY 2014 GMC SIERRA THERE IS A LOUD THUMPING NOISE THAT YOU CAN ALSO FEEL IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE PROBLEM STARTED PERIODICALLY AND I HAD A DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS. THEY HEARD THE NOISE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THE NOISE HAS BECOME MORE CONSISTENT AND A THIRD PARTY MECHANIC BELIEVES IT TO BE A STEERING RACK FAILURE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS TO HEAR THE THUMP.

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. SECONDS LATER MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPORADICALLY STARTED MOVING (I DID NOT ENGAGE THE SWITCH) AND I WATCHED THE TEMPERATURE GO UP FROM 70 TO 80 WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAUGE MANUALLY. THE CAR JOLTED FOR ALMOST 10 MILES SPORADICALLY LOSING CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN I EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AT A LOW SPEED (UNDER 15MPH) THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED AND THE CAR PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TOWARD A CURB. I GAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MANUALLY WHICH WAS DIFFICULT BUT I DID CORRECT THE DRIVE PATH BACK ONTO THE ROAD. I PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AS IT DID WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I'M IN A LOANER AND THE DEALER HAS MY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED ROUGHLY 2 MONTHS AGO FROM A REGISTERED GMC DEALER WITH 40K MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS ROUGHLY 44K ON IT. I HAVE MADE 1 PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE THUS FAR.

AT THE SAME TIME WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE I HAD VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. LOOKED FOR RECALLS AND ALL I FOUND WERE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, BUT NO SOLUTION OR RECALLS. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL, IT'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE... WHAT IF I WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR TOWING MY TRAILER AT THE TIME. GM AND NHTSA NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.

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 RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE NEGATIVE CABLE EVERY 50,000 MILES BY ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS. ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO CONCERNING THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. I GOT A CHECK ENGINE WARNING, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND THAT THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY COATED WITH FINE DUST. THEY REPLACED THE VAPOR COLLECTION CANISTER AND ASSOCIATED TUBES AND FILTERS AT A COST OF ABOUT $800.00. GM PICKED UP ABOUT 50%. I LATER CHANGED THE LOCATION OF THE VAPOR COLLECTION TUBE FROM THE (VERY DUSTY) WHEEL WELL, TO UNDER THE HOOD WHERE IT WAS PROTECTED FROM THE DUST. I DON'T BELIEVE EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS TO BE LACK OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, BECAUSE NEITHER APPEAR TO BE ABLE TO BE CHECKED OR APPEAR ON REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS, AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT DRIVING SPEEDS. RELOCATING THE INTAKE ON THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE CURED OR DELAYED THE ONSET OF THE PROBLEM. (I ALSO REMOVE AND BLOW OUT THE FILTER AND THE INTAKE TUBE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.)

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, "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND "LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL" OR SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF "LOSS OF POWER, DANGER" WILL APPEAR -- ALTHOUGH, IT IS USUALLY JUST SOMETHING RELATING TO "STABILITRAK". I'VE NEARLY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ~3 TIMES. IT'S NO QUESTION A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND TO PEDESTRIANS.

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 'SERVICE STABILI TRAK' INDICATOR BUT MORE LIKE STABILI TRAK HAS BEEN ACTIVATED INDICATOR. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN REVERSE WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. (THREE TIMES IN REVERSE). THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING IN DRIVE, TWICE WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND ONCE WHILE DOING 15-20 MPH TURNING ONTO A SIDE STREET. THE 15-20 MPH TURNING INSTANCE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF, STEERING BECAME NON EXISTENT FOR AN INSTANT AND THEN VERY VERY HEAVY. I CROSSED THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST LANDED IN THE DITCH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS, BOTH TIMES 'CANNOT DUPLICATE' WAS THE RESULT. NO CODES ARE BEING GENERATED FROM THESE INSTANCES. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. LOOSE VOLTAGE OR HIGH RESISTANCE TO GROUNDS MAYBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HOT AND COLD WEATHER, RUNNING AC OR HEATER OR NEITHER. THERE IS NO PATTERN. PLEASE HELP.

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 HAPPENED TO ME. THIS PARTICULAR TIME THERE WAS NO ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED THIS TIME. USUALLY I GET A MESSAGE WHICH POPS UP ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FORWARD OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT SAYS 'SERVICE STABILTRAC' OR 'ACTION REQUIRED, STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED, DRIVE WITH CARE.' IT SEEMS THERE IS A STEERING MALFUNCTION BECAUSE THIS ISSUE USUALLY OCCURS WHILE MAKING A TURN BUT THE TRUCK HAS HAD THIS SAME ERROR MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM UNSURE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I DO KNOW IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. ROAD CONDITIONS/WEATHER CONDITIONS ALSO PLAY NO PART IN WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION TAKES PLACE. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE IS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DO FLICKER FROM TIME TO TIME.

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 PARKING LOT TODAY DRIVING SLOWLY AND THE ST MESSAGE CAME THEN THE DIC WENT BLACK AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL IT STARTED JERKING BACK AND PULLED OUT OF MY HAND. IT SEEMS THAT SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING SOLVES THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS. I HAVE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF GM AND ALL I HAVE EVER OWNED WERE GM VEHICLES, BUT THIS ISSUE IS MAKING ME WONDER IF I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FORD INSTEAD.
