TWICE ON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING (THE COLUMN UNLOCKED)WOULD NOT STEER. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE COLUMN NO MATTER IF I MOVE IT FORWARD OR REVERSE. NO AMOUNT OF TWISTING WOULD ALLOW IT TO STEER. I WORRY IT MAY FAIL IN ACTION ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER SAID THE STEERING MODULE NEEDED UPDATING AND THEN BECAUSE IT WAS 57 MILES OUT OF WARRENTEE CHARGED ME $186. NO GARRENTEE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE POWER TO THE SHUTS OFF AND SECONDS LATER TURNS BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC AND TURING INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN THE POWER SHUTS OFF I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO AT LOWER SPEEDS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN TURNING BRINGING MY TRUCK TO AN ABRUPT STOP, ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET. WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ALL THE ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND ON AND MY STABILITRAK MESSAGE POPS ON MY SCREEN FOLLOWED BY SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE. IT STARTED HAPPENING JUST HERE AND THERE ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY. IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS! GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP.
WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS THE POWER ASSIST FAILS, MOMENTARILY RESULTING IN EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING/MANEUVERING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE IS BEING DRIVEN ON (PAVED, UNPAVED) AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME RESULTING IN SITUATIONS WHERE I HAVE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL.
I RECEIVE MANY ERROR LIGHTS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 SILVERADO. LIGHTS INCLUDE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEMS SERVICE, AND POWER STEERING DIMINISHED.

I RECEIVE MANY ERROR LIGHTS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 SILVERADO. LIGHTS INCLUDE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEMS SERVICE, AND POWER STEERING DIMINISHED. THE SAFETY COMPLAINT IS DUE TO THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN AND A SHARP LOSS IN ENGINE POWER AND HARD SHIFTING. ON MANY OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD UNTIL THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I HAVE GONE INTO QUIRK CHEVROLET ON MANY OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECENTLY CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND THEY HAVE SET UP A CASE AND WILL KEEP OPEN UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.

TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT, WHILE IN MOTION, WOULD STOP DURING THE TURN AND JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE LOST FOR A SECOND THEN HAVE POWER RESTORED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING UP AND HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO AVOID HITTING AN OBJECT, AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, RADIO SCREEN WENT BLANK, AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OUT BUT ALL POWER CAME BACK ON AFTER A SECOND. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME SIX TIMES WHILE TRYING TO BACK UP. I HAVE A VIDEO AFTER I BACKED UP AND PARKED AND THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF SO I COULD GET A VIDEO TO SHOW FOR A REPAIR. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS WHEN I WAS ON A 25 MPH TWO LANE ROAD. I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND AFTER COMING TO A STOP TO LET A CAR GO BY I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE CUT OUT, DOOR LOCKS CYCLED, AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOST POWER MY VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY INTO THE ON-COMING LANE OF THE ROAD I WAS TURNING OFF OF. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER NOW AT AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VIDEO I HAVE AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHILE DOING TEST DRIVES. AS OF NOW I'M NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE FOUND. MECHANIC TOLD SERVICE SUPERVISOR THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING NEEDED TO BE UPDATED IN THE COMPUTER TO SMOOTH OUT THE ISSUES. SINCE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, NOT SURE IF THIS WILL BE THE FIX. IF VIDEO EVIDENCE IS NEEDED PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL SEND VIDEO.
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. COMES BACK IN WHEN TURN OF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON ALMOST THROUGH ME IN THE DITCH A NUMBER OF TIMES. JUST LOSSES ALL POWER STEERING ALL AT ONCE.
I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW PCM PART NUMBER 19417067. VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE OF THREE YEARS AND LESS THAN 30,000 MILES

619V761000 · Electronic Stability Control (esc); Service Brakes; Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:wheel Speed Sensor/tone Ring
Oct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition.

During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017.
