I have had a problem with the theft deterrent system which, shuts the truck down and issues a message saying "turn the driver side window down and then up". After 5 minutes the truck starts back up by itself? this has occurred sitting in popeyes drive thru line in August 2024 in benton harbor, mi. This has occurred 3 times in the past week, 09/25/25 driving on garrett road it shut down during the entry into a "s curve" 09/26/25 driving into my drive way 09/28/25 driving into my drive way took the truck into wimberley chevy dealer and they searched for error codes and checked some of the ground wires not connected properly and found the negative cable on battery was ok. I don't know if any other wire connectors were checked, however I have had this before and the dealer said they would have to keep the truck as it may take quite some time in confirming all connections were good. The service manage of levalley cheverolet stated that they would require a $1,000 deposit for them to start looking into the problem and again require another $1,000 deposit to continue and then another etc. I will not drive my truck on any major highway or in any very busy large city for fear of having a return of another shutdown and no place to pull into as I was only coasting when I entered the "s curves" and had space.

Power steering went out then came back on.

The power steering goes in and out when trying to turn into parking spots or slowly turning. All the time!!!!!!.

While on the freeway at 65mph the truck experience a hard gear shift, loss of acceleration, went into shut down, lost steering assist, and brakes became hard, lights came on the dash for transmission issue massage, as well as check engine light. Safety became a major concern with loss of power in the mids of a flow off traffic at freeway speeds. Vehicle had to be towed.

Hard to turn the wheel at curb.

Power assist steering cuts out and in when turning the steering wheel.

While making slow turns the steering seems to disengage making it hard for the wheel to turn. It comes out of it but has been happening more frequently.

At slow speeds the steering momentarily stops working.

I was driving and when I came to a stop light the power steering stop working and I had to go because the light turn green so I had to steer very hard and pull over to the side. It was very dangerous and I can’t believe this happened. The warning light came on as well and it says service power steering drive with care.

I bought the truck around [xxx] from barkau cdjr, freeport IL. Two hours away from the dealer the truck went completely dead in traffic. A message appeared on the info screen that said roll down the drivers window and back up to reset the system when the truck finally restarted. Got home with it and called the dealer and let the know. In the next few weeks it happened a couple of more times. It was taken to tapper Chevrolet in paw paw, mi to be serviced. The tech thought it was a problem in the fuse block and replaced that, after that on the week end the truck was returned the problem happened 3 times. Took it back to tapper's and they checked it again, had it for 4 days and could not replicate the problem. Kept having issues and took it to 1st choice automotive llc in dowagiac, mi, he went through the wiring and cleaned some grounds and it seemed to work for a while. Now it is doing the same thing again. It just shuts down randomly for no reason. You lose steering, brakes, you have no control when it happens and no warning when it is going to happen. Have searched you tube and have seen many other complaints of the same problem with no solution. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Three or four instances of loss of power steering while making a right hand turn. Power steering failed momentarily except for the last time, steering failed completely while turning into a parking lot and I ended up in the snowbank. All electrical to the vehicle shut off to the vehicle and could not be restored until a new battery was installed. The new battery was completely discharged overnight. Possible related incidents are that several times I have had a message that the security system has been compromised, and I have been locked out of my vehicle spontaneously. I found that there is a recall for this year and model for this issue, but my VIN does not connect to any recall issued. I am afraid to drive this vehicle until this is corrected.

The vehicle lost power steering and being an electronic system, there is nowhere to add fluid to the system. There was a recall for this issue from 2018 to 2019 and the repair service was performed on this vehicle. I now have to pay for the repairs that were once covered under a recall for a known issue.

Electric power steering ,loses power ,on board computer lost memory ,clock went 0,active fuel management mileage recorder to 0,m/l smog number to no ready.

Power steering randomly stops working, sometimes warning lights come on when this happens. There is a recall affecting 2015 chevy vehicles that is related to a defect in the power steering system that causes similar issues, but my VIN is not part of the recall. How can I get the manufacturer to fix this?.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, and the steering wheel pulled to the left. The eps, abs, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the eps module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

At low speed power steering will cut off and kick in opposite direction, radio will blank out followed by service stabilitrak warning has happened multiple times in last few wks since first of sept 2023.

Power steering stop working “action required “ steering assist is reduced drive with care.

Truck shuts down, power steering quits working and forces vehicle wheel back other direction, stablitrack light comes on, ac shuts down, truck loses power, sometimes completely shuts down while turning.

While driving on the highway, I came to stop in traffic. Power shut off in truck. I had ac on and radio on and everything turned off. Dashboard went blank as well. Power restored and service stabiltrack notification came on. This happened multiple times while on road. Got off as soon as possible and took to dealership. Dealership has yet to get back to us. I believe this is related to the two recalls that I had completed. At no point should I lose power in the vehicle and not be able to control the car. This could have been a tragedy if driving at full speed and for vehicle to shut down.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph and making a right turn the power steering suddenly failed causing the steering wheel to become difficult to turn and nearly cause the vehicle to collide into a second vehicle. The warning message "power steering, drive with care" had displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the electrical power steering was faulty and the steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed the VIN was not included in the NHTSA recall campaign 14v719000(steering). The failure mileage was 188,000.

The component or system is the electronic power steering system and my vehicle is available for inspection at any time needed. Although this started last week and is happening randomly it has happened three times all in the last week. While making a turn I lose all power steering, in fact all power and have to try to maneuver the truck safely. This is the same issue that gm issued a recall for gm recall 18289. Nhtsa campaign # 18v586. This problem is very dangerous and I almost collided head on due to this problem when leaving work and in a turning zone. The first time it happened my mom said it jerked the steering wheel. Lost all power and she had to manhandle it to keep from hitting a child that was walking across the parking lot at a dollar general store. I need to see about getting my truck fixed for this recall before someone is killed. My VIN may not be listed on the recall but the exact same thing is happening and I sure would hate to see someone killed before this is fixed. Mighty strange that my VIN is not listed but same exact thing is happening with the electronic power steering (eps). I am asking for your help in guiding me to getting this fixed. Two other known issues with this vehicle have also happened. One was valve collapsed and I was able to get that fixed under warranty cause I only had the truck for a short time. I've spoken with dealership and they say vehicle charge to look at the vehicle would be $159. 95 and that will be applied to repair cost but mechanics would have to determine if my issue is considered under the recall. I can almost surely guess what that answer will be. Please assist me in the direction I need to go to get this fixed.

Steering assist was sluggish and engine stalled when driving slowly or entering a turn; engine stalled when on a road incline;.

Truck stalles when wheel is turned at idle or low speed. No warning just dies. No problem restarting.

At slow speeds the brake pedal gets hard and does not stop vehicle. At random times I temporarily lose power steering and vehicle is hard to turn.

#1- I had my truck in a few years ago for a brake issues that they said was a computer reprogramming issue and vacuum pump. They repaired and the issue slowly came back. Now it feels as if there is little to no assist with braking and stopping distance is growing. I feel like my family is at risk if there were ever to be a time I need to brake hard or fast. Theire are no warning lamps but obvious excessive braking effort and can feel the brake rotors through the pedal. #2- intermittently, at low speeds, pulling into parking lots and parking spaces while turning the steering wheel, electrical power cuts out, steering wheel jerks out of hand, and a dash light comes on saying "service stabilitrack". This is a huge safety issue that could certainly cause an accident. I have googled this very common issue with my year chevy silverado and personally checked the grounds on the left and right under the front dash panel by each speaker and found them to be clean and tight. This leads me to believe it is something else and electrical and a huge safety problem. Only issue is that it is very random and hard to replicate. Seems to happen on hot days when I've been driving a lot. I just got off the phone with the local dealership and they are saying there are no other recalls aside from the current one for air bag issues which I just scheduled. But these other issues I feel are definitely safety manufacturer defects/issues especially being that it has been in for the brake issue once already and the steering/electrical issue is such a common thing when searching the internet.

As reported in a previous recall, the electric steering cut out on me on two separate occasions during low speed turning into parking spots.

2015 chevy silverado, 62,300 miles. While driving at highway speeds. The air condition compessor locked up. Causing the engine to die and causing the loss of power steering and power brakes. I was unable to brake in a timely manner and had to swerve to avoid stopped traffic. It seems there are thousands complaining of the same issue online. There was no warning. I have contacted the dealer and they say there is no recall.

Nhtsa campaign number 18v586. Gm’s recall is 18289. Power steering at low speeds with voltage drop causes power steering to lose control.
