Electronic Stability Control Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Started making a turn and the truck instantly shut off leading to power steering loss causing me to end up in the opposing lane almost hitting two children and their father on bikes. Father didn't have much patience with me trying to explain that it was a problem with the truck. . . Fix this issue or else it will become a huge liability. Buy back all of these trucks and crush them.

Loss of power to vehicle when making turns at low speeds on city roads, in parking lots, and on and off highways, you have to place vehicle in park and turn back on. Steering assist and stabilitrak has been becoming disabled on a regular basis along with the steering wheel being jerked out of my hands while making turns on city streets, in parking lots, and on and off the highway. Service stabilitrak and steering assist messages are displayed during these time however do not leave a check engine light no to be scanned. Gm dealer states they are not able to duplicate the issue and are not able to fix it. This is a safety concern for me and other drivers on the road.

Sometimes when I hold down on the brake pedal some electrical issue happenes and my steering wheel gets very hard my ac turns off my whole dashboard turns off and so does my radio then after about 10 seconds it turns back on. I also noticed that when I'm rolling up the windows my headlights dim. I think somethings wrong with the electrical system of the vehicle I had the battery checked once and it was not the voltage it needed I replaced it with the battery from the dealership it was well for about three months and the issue reoccurred. When I am reversing my steering wheel gets very hard as I'm pressing on the pedal while I'm parking it doesn't do it all the time but it does do it frequently.

While driving through a public parking lot, at a slow turn the truck stopped dead. No power, barely was able to stop without hitting parked vehicles. To make it even more dangerous than it already was, another car almost hit me because of my sudden stop. I was then trapped in my pickup. Windows and doors would not open. No response from turning the key. This is the second time its happened and both were at low speeds. The first time I thought it was my error. I looked it up on social media and found many others had the same problem. Some people said no recall on such a 'common' and unsafe problem, another said there was a recall open. I was told by gm headquarters no recall. Told by service mgr at the dealership, told me there is a recall issued. Only after I brought it to the dealership, they tell me it'll cost me $364. I asked about what he told me only 3 days earlier of the recall, he then denied it. With the severity of the problem and the numbers of persons who complained, I would think this should be at chevy's expense. I will be taking the truck on vacation the end of the month. If something should happen, I've instructed our two children to secure a good lawyer and open a wrongful death/injury suit. I will have documentation of the information I reviewed through social media comments along with this complaint and the repairs by this 'certified' dealership at their ready.

I went in the store this afternoon, when I returned to my truck and started it up I had a service power steering drive with care warning as well as service esc. I shut the truck off, waited a few minutes and restarted the truck, the warning was still there so I called the dealer and they sent out a service tech and service mgr, they couldn't figure it out and had it towed to back to the dealer the truck only has 1400 miles on it.

Twice now while driving in a parking lot and also on a street making a turn, the electrical flashed, turned off and then the truck died, locking the power steering and power brakes. Dealer service department has twoce said battery, but based on so many others with the same issue on many cehvy forums, this is an electrical issue and needs a recall. Extremely dangerous!.

Stabilitrek flashes and then vehicles steering locks up and the truck dies. Usually it's when I'm going slow and usually it's when I'm turning. This is happening now in August of 2020 but also happened a few years ago and then there was a recall. It's very dangerous. No warning and the truck dies very unexpectedly. Please fix this problem I see others are complaining too.

Lloss of braking. Dash warning abs; trailer brakes; traction control; abs; esc; do not exceed 62 mph. . No recall shown on VIN . . Called dealership and chevy no results on recall!? vehicle warning cleared off dash next day. . Warning lights and loss of brakes while driving truck on steep forest mountain roads. .

After driving approximately 100 miles I returned back to town. As I was slowing the steering wheel jerked a small amount to the left. I slowed to a stop at an intersection. When accelerating and turning left the steering wheel jerked three times. After that I turned into the wal-mart parking lot. Slowed to make a right turn. This time the wheel jerked very hard to the right and the engine shut off. I was able to stop. Put the truck into park restart the engine and move to a safe location out of traffic.

My truck had the electronic brake control module reprogramming with sps as per recall n192268490 performed. The reprogramming worked fine for a few months. In March 2020, I noticed that at low speeds and mainly when backing, the brakes began to lose pressure and what sounded like and felt like the antilock brake system was engaging, and very hard pressure was needed to stop the truck with longer than expected braking occurring. The problem has definitely worsened and occurs nearly every time braking at low speeds in reverse with any type of incline. While backing my boat into a driveway, this issue occurred and nearly sent the boat into the garage door. I had to apply as much pressure as I possibly could to the brakes to stop the truck and boat before hitting the garage door. The issue has occurred repeatedly as I have backed up on an incline, with or without a trailer or boat attached to my truck.

150 miles after regular service of engine light/abs/and stabiltrak lights being on, and an oil change, the truck stalled (luckily I was in my own driveway). Shortly after, the engine light, followed by abs light came on. Suddenly the speedometer gauge acted wildly, there was a very hard shift. I put it on cruise control just to help the engine quit hard shifting. . . . Cc cancelled itself out. Everything sets back to normal for a minute or less and it all happens again, this time taking away power steering and a louder "hard shift". In the mean time, every warning I think there is would pop up. . . . "stabiltrak off, starring assist reduced. . . Etc". This just continues and seems to get more aggressive, more frequent. . . Including resetting to normal briefly each time. Schumacher Buick/gm/chevy said it could be tcm, or ecm, or another I can't recall. Unhappy with lack of knowledge of issue, and a "let's try this then this then this. . ", it has perplexed not one but two very accredited mechanic teams. The truck has 130,000 miles, and was serviced as it should have been by the chevy dealer since iacquired it new. It never had any similar issue until just after its most recent maintenance. Thankfully this all occurred within miles of my home, as the issue is most definitely a threat to any hopes of safety. Towing it, is the only way to safely move that vehicle after experiencing the issues.

While driving stabilitrack light comes on all electrical flickers while driving, also shuts off while driving which is dangerous and can be fatal.

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!.

While driving, the radio and all other electric components will go dark or quit working altogether, including the ac blower, compressor, headlights, etc. Sometime I get the stabilitrack alert with 3 or 4 tones, which resets automatically. When waiting in a drive through line today, when I depress the brake pedal, it happens again. While waiting in line, I sometimes put the transmission in park. When I depress the brake, and move the transmission control into drive, it happens, and more frequently, the engine shuts off. When turning the wheel, the power steering seems to go out, making it almost impossible to turn the vehicle, all the while the stabilitrack alarm goes off, the headlights go dark, the ac shuts down, the dash display goes dark, the door locks cycle up and down, and the engine shuts down. Today, it almost caused me not to negotiate turning from a major road into a parking lot. I lost all power to the steering, the engine shut down, and my brakes were non-existent. After reading other complaints on here, I decided I needed to tell my story. I received the recall notices, and have not ventured to the dealership for repairs, fearing exposure to the covid-19 virus. After reading everyone else's problems, and hearing that even the recall repairs do not fix the problem, I cannot help but wonder if there is more going on here than gm is willing to admit. I will not let my wife drive this vehicle, because if it happens to her, there is no way she can maneuver a stalled vehicle with no power steering and no brakes. So it looks I have the same story as others, and no real solution to my problem that the dealerships are willing to fix, or even admitting that there is a problem.

There is an unintended braking during drive started to happened. Usually happens in auto and 4wd mode. The truck was in the middle of freeway of around 70 to 80 miles per hour and suddenly brakes jammed by itself. This happened more than 5 times. Checked the VIN first time through NHTSA website for VIN recall and shows 2 recalls. First one for ebcm reprogramming and second one for equipment vacuum pump replacement. Bring it to chevorlet of folsom, CA and they did reprogramming without the part replacement and told that truck is running fine. But the issue still persists. Now bring it to them and they said we dont deal with salvage titles. And just for my sake checked again for recall on NHTSA website and it shows none or might be they reported it fixed. But the issue is still there.

Truck flashed service stbilitrak and then shut off while driving and shot right and made me go up and over a curb at 35 mph. Scanner says voltage lost in bcm and now it says to service the trailer brake system with no trailer hooked up.

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

The truck was driven to the store, it was parked for roughly 20 mins. There was no issue with driving to the store. Upon returning to the truck and starting it in the store parking lot the digital display indicated that power steering service was required and esc service was required. After seeing this the driver tried to turn the wheel but had no power steering so they turned the truck off and let it sit for two minutes. The truck was restarted and the same fault information was displayed. The driver turned the vehicle off again, waited one to two minutes again, and restarted. The same faults were shown. The driver referenced the owners manual in an attempt to troubleshoot the problem. There was no solution in the manual. The truck was then driven back to the house 1. 9 miles with no power steering. The truck was at the dealership service center and received services one week prior to this incident. The dealership did not say or show any faults during its services. Had this happened while the vehicle was moving and the driver did not have the strength to turn the wheel without assistance this could have been extremely dangerous.

I bought a 2010 chevy Silverado 1500 z 71 4 x 4 from eight graph in davison and it had multiple misfires I put new spark plugs wires coils and fuel injectors and now it's miss firing and cylinder six and I put another set of spark plugs wires and coil's on it and it still misfire and cylinder six I'm trying to see if it something the manufacture.

Brake system failure on 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Multiple dash warnings notifying of brake failure, esc failure, and service brake system warning.

When I am turning, my vehicle loses power and or dies. If my emergency lights are on it causes my ac to turn so low it almost doesn't work and other electrical problems. I was almost hit in an intersection because my vehicle died due to loss of power when I was turning.

Purchased vehicle new 7/5/20 (65 miles). 7/6/20 (95 miles), driving vehicle through neighborhood when service engine soon (ses) light came on-no other lights on ip cluster-drove to john l sullivan Chevrolet (jls) to have inspected-found c25a2 code and programmed electronic brake control module (ebcm). 7/18/20, backing vehicle up at about 5 mph(187 miles) ses light on again-checked code-c25a2-had brake system failure message flash on information center once. Contacted jls for tow-jls verified code, but no light on, and stated Chevrolet is aware of problem, but no fix available. States problem occurs when parking vehicle, and no park brake applied (stated ebcm sees wheel speed with key off, triggering code)-no other brake system indicators or warnings have come. This vehicle is brand new, with less than 200 miles.

When the truck is running it loses power and the ac turns off and the radio turns off and a message comes on the message box stability rack and then the ac turn back on and the radio. Then when drive and try to make a turn truck turns off have to put the truck in park and turn it back on.

It started out as the truck losing all power when entering the truck . No power to the dash or ignition. Then power would return out of nowhere. Lately the truck will lose all power while the truck is running sitting still and moving down the highway. Engine will stay running but no dash no a/c and when the dash returns stabitrac notification is on the screen . Today the truck did this 11 times in 1 hour and even lost steering control while driving down a large highway. While on the side of the highway with the hazards on the dash, controls and a/c intermittently flicked for a full 2 minutes.

When on highway, when turn signal is engaged the cruise control turns off. Also at low speed, ac will turn off, brake stability warning appears and power steering goes off.

Has occurred multiple times with the vehicle was stationary, in motion, on a city street, highway, turning, at a variety of speeds. The vehicle temporarily loses power and power steering. The stabilitrack and steering assist indicators appears on dashboard. Sometimes the power returns, other times I will have to put the vehicle in park, reposition key, and restart the engine. I had vehicle serviced by dealership earlier this year, and my VIN did not match any recalls. They couldn't identify the issue and suggested I replace the battery. I replaced the good battery with a new battery, and still experience this issue. This occurs multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day, and has been ongoing for at least a year. .

While driving at low speed example turning into a parking spot, making a u-turn (onto major roadway) coming to a stop the vehicle shuts down losing all power lights engine shuts off. Stereo presets are gone you have to throw the vehicle into park and restart it making it a very scary vehicle. A couple warnings come up on the dic. Check stability track and open and close driver side window.

Our truck will shut off while driving down the road. The radio and air will turnoff first then the truck will shut right off. It is scary when you are towing and going right along on the highway when it turns off. Someone it's going to get killed before anything it's done. We had the recall done but it did not resolve the problem. The company does not care because I have complain about this problem before and nothing was done. Drivers beware and stay safe!.

It is too bad I can not check all that apply! I have the same problems as other people loosing steering and getting the stabiltrack message at low speeds. When this happens you loose all power and the lights all dim. I also have begun to noticed that while driving down the highway in cruise control any turn of the vehicle with the steering wheel kills the cruise control. I also have the trailer, break system message flash randomly at low speeds without a trailer or pulling anything this is just annoying the other problems are major safety issues!!! I have had this truck in the dealership several times had very poor customer service and wasn't even told about the recalls that were on it. However, I don't seem to see any recalls for the problems that I have and that thousands of other people are describing with the electrical issue and stabiltrack at low speeds. I also want to add that the rear seatbelts in this vehicle are complete junk.

Warning lights came on for steering assist while driving down the highway. At this time, the air conditioning and radio turned off, but the engine remained running. Dismissing the alert returned the a/c and radio, and the truck continued running. A few minutes later, an alert popped up for stabilitrack, the a/c turned off, and the engine shut off, all while moving. I lost my brakes, was still able to steer, and had to use the emergency brake to come to a stop. This is extremely dangerous. There are people all over the internet talking about grounding issues related to this, and it's not uncommon. Why is there not a recall for this?.

When driving with the cruise control on at approximately between 55-70 mph the dash flickers and the truck will occasionally will turn off completely for approximately 1 second and then come right back on. This problem will occur also if you tap the brakes after this happens. Upon parking the truck the flickering of the dash can occur more mildly by engaging the brake, turn signals, or high beams. Seems impossible to use the cruise and turn signals to change lanes without this happening. Stability trak error comes up when the truck turns completely off. It has once said something about steering assist going off or something like that.

My truck began with a notification that says "service stabilitrak", over the course of 48 hours it went from on hard bumps and just the notification, to now constantly turning on. There was a recall for this issue with the abs, but I have to pay the dealer out of pocket. They are currently doing the diagnosis on it to see what the issue is. If the issue matches the same abs issue as the recalls for 2014-2018 models on the silverado, would there be a way to fight the charges? the warning notification and icon would light up when either stationary or moving at any speed. 48 hours ago it would only do it when turning at almost full rotation, or driving over some cracks on the road. Now it just does it randomly and very often to where the brakes would shake when applied. Power also goes down a bit, and the wheel would jerk. Pretty much exactly as how all the prior complaints about it before the recall when it reached youtube. It makes driving very dangerous as I can be turning, then the wheel would spring back into a different position. Before this notification, when I apply the brake it would be very smooth. Now because the truck thinks there's some kind of abs issue, when I brake, it would shake the brake response (like old cars before abs) and also make the vehicle very unsteady. I cannot brake on a straight line as it would sway the vehicle.

Traveling at speeds of 40-80mph vehicle will completely shut off and start braking. Service stabilitrac will come on. Happened multiple times within 20 miles. Mainly right after turning. When backing up service stabilitrac will come on. Steering wheel will lock. Vehicle will shut off.

While driving vehicle on city street, going straight or turning, voltage will go down and result in the truck cutting out (radio) lights flicker (headlights and dash lights) and service stabitrak will come on dash then the airbag light will come on. With final result of having surges of power steering with voltage drops. Resulting in almost a head on collision. Pulled over and shut the truck off for a minute then it will be fine. Took to local Chevrolet dealership, they �visually checked� all engine grounds, battery terminals, starter wire, alternator wire, and power steering wires. Everything checked out good. It did throw 13 dtc's related to low voltage. Haven't had a problem in 7,000 miles and now it is starting again. I am uncertain of the faulty issue, and so is my local dealership. But, they wanna �try� all kinds of different things at my expense, which I think is wrong. There are recalls for the same year of truck with the same issues.

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).
