Warning alarm goes off and power steering goes out happens with vechile in motion.

As I was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the ac blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as I was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when I backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 silverado used in 2018 with 24k miles on it. The odometer just turned 50k two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service. I began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so I thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since I am out of warranty I have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly gm is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! I can not believe that gm knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? I also noted that the previous owner, right before I bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by gm and dealer when I bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now I can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!.

Power steering lost temporarily, lights went on and off fast and vehicle dash went black and truck died while turning causing me to hit a car. Moving about 5 to 10 mph.

Steering will get very hard to turn for a second on low speed turns, stabilitrak will disable and dash will blank out.

While setting in a drive thru my steering wheel will jerk back and fourth and then my truck will die. I get several different messages on my dash stability track needs service, window needs rolled down then up, or trailer assist. This has happened multiple times.

Service power steering came on, car was completely unable to control with zero steering assist. Extremely dangerous almost hit multiple cars turning at low speed. Dealership claims the code c056d but is taking zero responsibility charging outrageous prices for an electrical unit that has failed in less than 70,000 miles.

My 2016 silverado steering wheel locks up and all of the power in my vehicle shuts off. It only happens when I'm turning but I cannot move the wheel in any direction. This problem is very dangerous and could lead to injury or death. I was almost involved in a head collision this morning because of it. Not to mention that not one Chevrolet mechanic or auto dealer knows what I'm talking about or even acts like they care. This problem has been well documented in older model silverado's and 2016 silverados should be included. It's only a matter of time before someone is killed because of this problem and now their is documentation.

1st I notice my info screen would black out and come back on then a service camera message would come on once in awhile. Now every once in awhile the stabilatrak will come on my screen and the steering wheel will jerk violently out of my hand. Very dangerous. Up to this point it has been at slow speeds. . . (under 30 mph).

I will drive down the road and the display goes black on dash and I hear clicking sound and truck shuts off. Steering wheel has locked up making turns, left or right. Issues mostly happen when driving extended period of times but has cut off with short trips and parking, backing in. These issues started around Dec 2019 and increased in frequency this year 2020.

I was driving down my street. Waiting to turn left to wait at stoplight. When going I couldn't turn the steering wheel. Traffic was coming from both sides when failure occurred. The only thing that saved my life was to continue straight through to the other side of the street. This incident could've killed me if was traveling at higher speeds. Total loss of control of the vehicle. This is a major safety issue.

While backing out of a parking spot the steering wheel jerked itself out of my hand, almost breaking my hand and locked up and couldn't be turned at all. While locked up it finally broke free for a bit and jerked itself out of my hands again. Put it into drive to pull forward so I didn't get hit by other vehiclse in parking lot too. It did the same thing going forward, jerked itself from my hands, the radio even changed stations on its own. During this the dic showed a stabilitrak needs service message and worked ok once I finally got it to back out and go forward and as long as the vehicle wasn't shut off it ran ok, abut once shutoff, the same issues returned every time, even at the Chevrolet dealer where it sits now in mission, TX these events occurred while stationary and also while vehicle was in motion which is downright dangerous. .
