Electronic Stability Control Problems of GMC Sierra 1500 - part 2

I started my car and I had 4 messages appear on the dash stating(service esc, service trailer brake, brake system failure-62 mph top speed and steering assist reduced drive with care). I attempted to drive the vehicle in my neighborhood and noticed that I had lost power steering and when I went to brake there was a delayed response. It took the vehicle approximately 4 to 5 feet to come to a stop after braking. Also the abs, check engine, brake and traction control lights were illuminated. I immediately tried to drive back home and when I drove in to my driveway, I smashed on the brakes and I almost drove through my garage because the vehicle would not stop immediately. I tried to press my onstar button for road assistance and lost all electrical power. I contacted onstar with my phone and had the vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Currently the vehicle is there being diagnosed for the problem.

During normal driving in town and on highway, stabillitrak deactivated and power steering assist deactivated flashes on dash. The air conditioner and radio flash off. Lose power steering. The whole truck shut off also once while reversing, went from park to reverse and shut off. This had been very dangerous, as it happened also while going 70 mph on the highway.

Slowing down to park on a street and lost steering and lights flickering, I just had recall reprogrammed &serviced 60 days ago, driver assist service lights also on and parking. I nearly crashed twice so far I need my vehicle for transportation and would like help with this immediately ,for it is a pricey luxurious vehicle.

Lost of power steering.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 mph, the service stabili-trac warning light illuminated, the door locks actuated independently, and the power steering failed. Additionally, the vehicle independently turned of and on within a few seconds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The local GMC dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 88,124. Ah.

Stabilitrak off/reduced engine power came on again after 3 unsuccessful �fixes� at GMC dealer. I was driving 30mph over a hill when my engine completely stopped responding. Couldn't accelerate and the steering wheel locked. Went into oncoming lane but fortunately I wasn't hit. I was able to pull truck to shoulder and wait a few minutes before being able to turn on again and get it home. I have taken the truck to my local dealer every time this has happened and they only replace the throttle body sensor. It's the second time the truck has stopped responding while driving. The first time was on a highway 99 when all lights came on and truck started slowing down due to lack of engine power. I was left stranded once and had to get truck towed for a total of $430. I'm feeling unsafe in my vehicle and gm has ignored my concerns about this issue.

All happened same day. Was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times. Has not occurred since. But when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly. Still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. Have never had a check engine light come on. I am having it checked out this week.

The GMC sierra truck will loose power steering while it is being driven. This has occurred three times so far. There appears to be some type of electrical error with the trailer brake. Then, numerous warning lights come on and the truck looses power steering. It is dangerous and difficult to drive at that point. It is random. The truck will connect again and everything will function like normal. The truck was taken to a gm dealership and they said there was communication errors. The fuse block was replaced for almost 600 dollars. Then, the vehicle did the same thing again after that repair. I took it back to the same dealer. The vehicle was at their shop for 8 days. They were unable to get the error so no repairs were made. I have contacted gm corp on three occasions. The senior advisor assigned to my case has not ever contacted me about the issue. They advised that someone with gm would contact me in 2 days. It has been over 8 days. Picking the vehicle back up from the dealer. This is a safety hazard. I feel that the gm engineers have knowledge about these issues but no one will even call me back. There is some electrical glitch that can cause the vehicle to loose its power steering. Research shows that 690,000 trucks were recalled in 2017 in reference to recall # 17276 . The dealership advised that my truck received the necessary items for that in 2017. I don't know what to do. I currently have a truck that is not safe and gm doesn't seem to be concerned about it. It is a safety hazard. I'm sure other truck owners have had similar issues. I do not want someone to be injured or killed because gm will not step up and handle this issue. I lost power steering on may 14th, 15th and 23rd 2019.

All screen shut off while driving, turning right or left the steering wheel kick to the other side and appear a notification on screen "stabilitrack", almost have a accident because I was on a high volume traffic road the problem wet worst after the recall service #n182202780, check other complaint with the same problems: 11118538, 11123815, 11141357,11141855, 11204970,.

The vacuum assist pump on my 2014 GMC sierra went out suddenly during my morning commute. The brake pedal became very firm and the brakes were unresponsive. If I had been driving in an congested area an accident would likely occur.

Takata recall, parking assist sensors quit working. Abs lights stay on with the alert "service stabilitrak". Manufacture faulty electrical ground is possibly the source of the problem. My truck is not even 5 years old yet. There have already been a lot of reports of this same issue by other owners. This is a safety problem that can cause collisions when depending on this feature to work.

While driving the vehicle is losing power in the steering wheel, prompting the stabilitrac warning light to come on. This happens while driving at any speed, while turning and while going in reverse.

On April 2, 2019 I parked brefily for about 30 minutes. Upon re-entering my 2019 GMC sierra truck with approximately 4500 miles and starting the engine I immediately received multiple warning messages on my dash panel. They were "service esc" "service trailer brake", "brake system failure" "steering assist reduced" and to drive no faster than 62 mph. Previously prior to parking I had never had any problems whatsoever. I was in a location where I needed to go so I attempted to drive but found quickly that the brake pedel went all the way to the floor with very limited or basically no braking. The steering became very difficult with no apparent power assist. I drove it approximately two miles and got to a location where I could park. I turned the engine off and back on and the problem did not go away. I turned it off again and waited a couple of minutes and then heard an automated couple of clunk sounds from the front. . I started it up and everything was okay except the check engine light was on and stayed on the rest of evening. The next morning the check engine light was still on however about twenty minutes later I noticed it was off and everything has been fine since. I had planned to take it to the GMC dealer however with no problem showing now and from past experience with the dealerships I decided there was no need to schedule an appointment until the symptoms come back. I found on the internet later that there are numerous instances where this has happened to many other 2019 GMC sierra owners. I feel that this is a extremely serious problem that needs immediate attention especially with the near total braking system failure!.

The airbag and stabilitrack lights come on and off then the door bell rings,every 3 seconds sometimes for continues 15 to 25 times while driving,started at 13331 miles. The dealer refuses to fix unless I pay for it.

Life threatening safety problem: while merging into high-speed traffic on i485 freeway in charlotte nc, my 2010 GMC sierra rapidly decelerated from approximately 65 mph to 10 mph. Two tractor-trailer trucks going at least 70 mph narrowly avoided rear-ending me . Only the lack of traffic on there right side prevented a major disaster. My dashboard showed a engine power is reduced/service traction control/service sabilitrak warnings, and the engine idled erratically as I maneuvered off the to the side of the highway. There was no throttle response. This engineer design put the safety and lives of many at risk by dumping engine power to what is the equivalent of slamming on the breaks at high speed without warning. In April 2018, approximately 8 months ago, I had the exact same problem while driving in my neighborhood road. An authorized dealer completed a $679 replacement of my throttle-body gasket and gas pedal assembly (see attached receipt). The truck drove without issue until this incident. I didn't think this was a serious safety issue because it did not happen at high speed. Now, I have the same problem occurring at a high rate of speed on the highway. Finally, the dealer explains that there are multiple issues that can cause this malfunction and they are now completing another $600+ repair, replacing multiple parts (repair bill not yet available). Based on this troubleshooting and repair history, a consumer is never getting a guaranteed permanent fix for this problem. This begs the obvious question, of why is there a designed malfunction that jeopardizes safety in this manner?.

Brake pedal or that increased effort is needed to depress the brake pedal. Also, in some cases a tick or ticking noise may be heard, which may sound like an exhaust manifold leak.

We had the vehicle recall notice about the stability and power assist repaired at our preferred gm dealership, james wood, before the problem occurred because of a recall notice we received last year. Sunday, January 30, 2018 the dash displayed power assist limited and also displayed abs light . Service engine soon, so we brought it to the dealership again. This time the vehicle was revving high but no display. The dealership observed the vehicle doing this but we were told the recall had already been performed. There is a revised product safety recall reference number n172085440. I'm alerting the NHTSA of this.

Vehicle screens including both the driver information area and the infotainment screen began flashing alerts/warning about disabled cross traffic alert, lane keeping assistance, and trailer connection/disconnection warnings. Alerts happened ever 2-4 seconds with screen flashes each time. Very distracting in the dark which makes it difficult to pay attention to the road. Almost rear ended another vehicle due to this issues.

Was driving down the highway at highway speeds rolled the passenger window up the stereo cut off the gauges cut out and the wipers wipes in one time. Then a message stating stabilitrak needed to be serviced and electronic power steering was out.

All screens in vehicle shut off while driving, almost like the vehicle turned off. Then I was giving a service notification the the stabilitrak system.

When driving the truck after extended periods of time (I. E. 1 hour or more) the vehicle will flash a stabilitrak warning and then power the vehicle off. This happened while my son, girlfriend and I were on a trip to florida driving 70 mph down the interstate. I took to a dealer and they informed me that the battery cables were loose. 4,000 miles the truck has done this episode again and the dealer now tells me that I need to replace the electronic rack and pinion on a truck with 65k miles with a cost of over $3k. There are numerous examples of this happening with trucks just like mine and gm isn't responsible? hard to fathom that in the 5 vehicles I have owned, not once have I had to replace a rack and pinion and the newest vehicle that I have every owned has this issue.

While driving on highway check engine light came on and lost power. Also started to hear tapping coming from engine. Had it checked by mechanic. Found code p0306 cylinder 6 misfire. Checked gm truck web site and noted service bulletin noting valve lifter failure, but no recall. Bulletin states that lifter can fail causing misfire and taping in motor. Also states during repair to check cam shaft for scoring & damage. Also checked several gm & chevy car form websites, and noted multiple complaints about same issues as well as several near accidents because of loss of power while driving. There are also several youtube videos of issues with this motor and valve lifter failure. This happens because cylinders shut down during cruising. Lifters that fail have a spring attached that fails causing the misfire and scoring to cam shaft. Gm is aware of issue but fails to issues a recall for repairs to this motor. This is a hazard and could cause an accident. Repairs should also be covered by gm as this is a common problem with this motor and they are aware of it with their in house service bulletin to service managers. This issues can happen and be covered by service warranty, but not covered when out of warranty. Bulletin also goes on to state how to write it up if covered by powertrain warranty.

My truck. Was. Fixed. Once for the sterring and is still. Cutting out its. So. Bad that its shutting the hole truck down. In the. Middle. Of the road an. On the highway or when u go to speed up it cuts out n the streen comes tight.

The truck will completely turn off, loss of electrical, power steering, braking - everything. First time was on highway30mph in traffic 2nd time highway going 45-50 in traffic & today in parking lot, turning in to droppoff lane an childs school. No stearing and hit the curb.

Stalbility control system suddenly went out when braking on dry surface. Vehicle engine was disabled causing temporary loss of control. The latest occurrence happened while traveling at listed speeds on interstate 75. I have safety oncerns.

Issue #1-while driving the vehicle stablitrak warning light, traction control, engine power reduced, and brake light all came on. Vehicles engine power was suddenly reduced to about 10 mph while driving on the interstate in which I found to be very dangerous! had to pull over, turned off vehicle, lights went off, started driving again, vehicle did the same thing. Had to take in for mechanical repairs. Issue #2- key ignition switch just started locking up on the vehicle, would not turn back to normal to position, had to repeatedly keep jiggling for over 30 minutes or so to get the vehicle started back up?? had to take vehicle to dealer for repairs also. These are very unsafe and costly issues that GMC should be mandatorily required to have recalled and immediately addressed for the safety of the general public!!.

Air bag warning light stays on and will not go off, says to check air bags, no accidents so why would this come on? the satbilitrack light stays on.

Truck randomly doesnt start. No crank no start became more frequent and has now died at hwy speeds 3-4 times. Resulting in no power steering,no abs, airbags become deactivated in a stall situation to my knowledge. Making it very hard to control the truck in order to get it off the hwy/roadway. Stabilitrak light, tire pressure light, traction control light all stay on and the most recent light is now the abs light. Now it's to a the point of hardly starting at all. The key has recently became very hard to turn as well. Originally the door locks would cycle multiple times , and interior lights dash lights would all cycle at fast rate all at once. When this first happened I was always able to eventually get the truck to start a short time after. Engine power reduced is another specific warning that appears now that it's now dying while driving down the hwy. Each incident when the truck has stalled it's been when driving at least 60 mph. Or more. Numerous owners of gm vehicles are and have been having the same issues for far too long with little being done for alot of these owners.

While driving my vehicle turns off, stability control comes on and offf on the dic also the drive assist goes off this is very dangerous then is when it looses power.

While at low speed and at stops while turning the wheel the entire dash and engine cut off and come back on. The steering also locks up to a point of not turning either way. All incidents happened on a very smooth flat road. This put my life in danger on one occasion while turning on a highway where my entire truck shut off mid turn. I have video of this occurring on my phone if you would like to reach out to me for that. I believe this to be a stabiltrac issue, one of GMC's traction control branding things. I have seen this issue all over google while searching it and it needs to be recalled! I would like to know if this will happen.

Truck has 3 problems that can put my family's life in danger. 1- sometimes out of nowhere at low speeds when you turn the steering wheel to make a left or right turn the 'stabilitrac' light flashes in the screen and locks and won't let you turn the steering wheel. At this point you have no control of the steering wheel, it locks and bounces back at you and if you keep trying to turn it, the engine cuts off all power and it stalls, just dies. I almost got read ended a couple of times already due to this problem. Just this morning I was making a right onto a local mcdonald's and the steering wheel locked and the engine died on me. I had to quickly turn it on again and keep going. Another time it happen as I was merging into traffic. Very scary! problem number two, I think its just a matter of time before the steering wheel locks on me on high speeds. Sometimes when I'm on the freeway, the same chimes come on when I step on the brakes, the center screens goes black, and the same 'stabilitrac' warning comes on the smaller screen behind the steering wheel. I'm afraid to take it on a winding road for fear that the steering wheel will lock on me cause an accident. 3- service brake controller sign and chimes come on ant won't go away. It jus keeps on popping on and on and on and they go away when you turn off the truck, and come on again months or weeks later. I did have it checked at my local dealership. They tested it, sold me new ground and hot wires. It was good for about 4 weeks before the same problems came back again. I did some research on some of the forums and you tube videos and by far I'm the only one with the same problem. Very afraid to cause an accident.

I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection I merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road I suddenly had no steering. Panicking from the loss I pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss I proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while I still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.

While driving to work one morning an error message flashed engine reduced power, stability control loss. Truck struggled to accelerate. Has happened several times since November 2015 on city streets or highways can happen at any time. I had to replace entire system from throttle body to the pedal assembly have found out that this is common problem that gm knows about along with the cracks in the dash around air bag on passenger side and the instrument cluster and refuses to recall and fix cracks in air bag housing could pose a safety hazard along with loss of engine power from faulty wiring.
