The vehicle was in motion and took a turn the dashboard chimed and showed a "service stabilitrak", and redcution in power steering, and hvac went off and came back on and I lost power steering. Everything flashed and flickered. Upon further assessment at my house stationary turning the wheel reactivated the problems and it was also noticed that the lights would flicker and go dim along with the dashboard lights.

5 Lose Power Steering problem of the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500

Failure Date: 02/10/2020

My pickup started, I pulled out on road and sped up to 35 mph, when I stepped on brakes to slow down they were unresponsive, so I began pumping. They felt very hard to pump and were not slowing the truck down. Lights came on saying service brakes etc. As I coasted to try to slow down off side of road. I had to keep pumping the brakes down to floorboard and I?m not sure they were even working. I lost power steering and was almost involved in a serious rear-end collision. 4 messages appeared on digital dash while driving. Service esc, brake system failure 62 mph top speed, service trailer brake system, steering assist reduced. I had to press brake pedal to the floor with extremely excessive force to get truck to stop. This failure could have easily resulted in vehicle accident, or even a fatality accident. I doubt I will ever carry my family in the truck again due to this and I certainly will not allow my children to drive the truck. This is the 5th time this has happened to my truck.

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.

Failure Date: 08/24/2018

On August 24th 2018 while driving my new 2017 GMC sierra thru west branch michigan the power steering failed and completely went out. I could barely get the vehicle off of the road safely. Steering the truck was almost impossible. I called the GMC dealer and the service department person said to turn off the vehicle, wait a bit and restart the truck. I did this and everything reengaged. A while later down the road it happened again. Power steering shut down. This vehicle is a replacement vehicle we chose after our new 2016 GMC sierra continued to shut down over 30 times with ecm problems while driving at all speeds. My wife was terrified and reluctant to ever drive that vehicle after that. After many hurdles, GMC decided to exchange the truck with our current 2017 GMC sierra that we have now. This 2017 GMC sierra has lost its power steering over15 times while underway driving. Thank god it wasn't ever my wife driving. Its bad enough for her to be a passenger now when the steering goes out as well. She is terrified, and I am very leary and concerned about this happening at any time at any speed without warning. It has also happened at higher speeds. On September 1, 2018 while making a right hand turn from m-65 on to maple ridge rd whittemore, michigan, the power steering went out again and the steering wheel whipped back to the left so hard and fast I could barely control the vehicle to maneuver. I also suffered a serious left shoulder injury that I continue to suffer with. My wife is literally deathly afraid to drive this truck. I am afraid that I may kill someone or myself and wife with this dangerous truck. While driving the vehicle to the dealer after the power steering reset after I turn it off, from the day before. It lost power steering again at 65 mph. Repairs have been made to the ecm and power steering module from dealer patsy lou williamson Buick GMC.
