general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Steering assist warning light comes on and vehicle shut down losing ability to steer or brake , vehicle wouldn’t start,tried to start the next day and vehicle started. Before warning light all lights flickered when applying brakes and other warning lights lit up!.

Temporary loss of electric power steering assist, happens mostly at low speeds. Also complete loss of power and engine turing at low speeds. Luckily was driving less than 10 mph but had zero control of the truck and brakes did not work and ran into and curb that stopped me. The vehicle was taken into the chevy dealership in covina 3 times and they said there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. There was no warnings at all, just total loss of control.

I had 2 recalls done, one for power steering & one for brakes. My truck was not experiencing any problems before I had this recall done. The day I had it done I lost power steering while trying to park at home depot immediately after leaving dealership, almost causing me to hit the vehicle I was trying to park next to. Thinking it was a fluke, I drove it home afterwards & when I got on the highway to go home, I experienced a very loud metal on metal sound that only went away after applying the brakes. I don’t drive much since I work from home, however every time I drive it for 10 min or so, the sound came back followed by increased braking pressure to stop, also almost causing multiple accident and any time I was driving slow & trying to make tight maneuvers or turning my wheel too park or go through roundabouts I would lose power steering. I took it back to the dealership & was told the serpentine belt was not installed properly & they replaced the vacuum pump for the brakes. Told that the steering & brakes were fixed and after starting I wasn’t taking it back until it’s verified fixed by test driving for more than just a few minutes & parked multiple times, I was told it was ok. I went straight home & while on the highway, the sound reappeared & didn’t go away & pulling into my driveway, the steering failed again. I left multiple messages that weren’t returned & while recently on the hwy, I was hearing the sound & had play in the wheel, I slammed on the brakes after a semi almost hit me & my truck shook like it was falling apart & I called 800# scared to drive & I had difficulty steering & breaking & with no way to get home I had to drive it & took it to the dealership again & now they’re telling me I have to pay for diagnostics & I refuse to pay chevy a dime since my truck was fine until chevy’s incompetent mechanic made my truck unsafe to drive. They deleted my dash cam videos also. I have numerous videos showing everything.

I was driving the other day and had a temporary loss of electric power steering (eps) assist followed by a sudden return of eps assist, particularly during low-speed turning maneuvers. The loss and sudden return of eps assist typically happens within a 1 second period and is caused by an electrical/software issue same thing that's happening in this service bulletin. Needs to be fixed https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2017/mc-10139117-9999. Pdf.

I bought this truck in sept 2017 and have had this intermittent problem from the beginning. The first time I noticed the electrical issue was while travelling on the interstate with the cruise control on. When I would use my turn signal to signal a lane change or press the power window switch, the cruise control would go off. This has been reported to the dealer and another repair shop and they were unable to replicate the problem. This electrical issue has evolved over the years to create a significant safety issue. Occasional while driving at slow speed (I have not had this problem occur at highway speed, thankfully) the warning bell and signals would start dinging and flashing error messages. The errors would advise about stabltrak control and power steering assist. The dash lights would flash and the display screen would go blank. Occasionally the truck would die completely. I lost steering control while turning onto my road and almost went into a ditch. Luckily I was going slow (10 - 15 mph) and I was able to stop in time. The truck always restarts once I put it in park and turn the ignition. I took the truck to the dealer and they charged my over $900 to "found low voltage and high resistance from the negative battery cable and replaced it". This did not fix the problem. I have a video of this actually happening and will gladly send it to you. It is a . Mp4 file.

My power steering will not work, I cannot turn the wheel whatsoever. The first time it happened, I had to pay through insurance to have it fixed. 2 years later, it’s happening again.
