@carnau interesting ! I didn’t know that about the car is covered by the warranty. Somehow I feel as if there are several things I am not aware of lol It gets extremely frustrating when they see my face and it’s like I’m “that girl” because they’ve seen me so many times but I didn’t ask for all of these issues with my truck. I always treat them with respect but it seems I’m a burden to them. Totally appreciate you responding to this, you hardly ever get to see the other person working on your vehicles side of things unless you know them. We have several mechanic friends and hear the awful stories they have so I TRY to not be like that but i would love for my truck to not shut off on me on the highway ! Lol I will always love GM. I’ve been able to modify my truck to exactly how I want it and as much as I hated all the work they had to do and the time i went without my truck sucked but so worth it to me. I love my truck. However, if I could change the dealership and their customer service i would in a heartbeat. You seem to work for a place that is honest and fair, wish they were all like that! Thank you again

@carnau I totally understand what you are saying. However, I’ve had multiple visits to the dealership about this and other things wrong with my truck. My vehicle was practically a lemon, but because I loved it so much I let them keep it for a month to fix everything. i was never asking that they fix it without checking it but i at least thought they would look into it within the day they’ve had my truck and not tell me at 4:30 I won’t be getting my truck back but instead they are waiting for my truck to throw a code that will never happen before they even do anything. I have no problem fixing it myself, however I am not sure if it will void my warranty and that is why i took it to the dealership. After all, I paid for my warranty for a reason. My point is they never even attempted to look into it. I’ve taken multiple days off of work, paid months of truck payments on times I didn’t even have my truck. Maybe where you work isn’t the same but i haven’t had the best luck which is mainly my fault for buying from them. Just because you haven’t run into the issue doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem. I’ve come across many people who are having the same issues. May not be hundreds of thousands of trucks like normal recalls but it is still a problem that is happening but thanks for your input.

So i am having this issue with my 2017 silverado and the dealership has tried multiple things. They won't listen to me about what is really is. Check out G218 electrical issues on youtube and google.. You sound in the same boat as me. goooodluck.

Hey everyone, I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. I bought it in April of last year and it has been miserable. I visited the dealership more times than i can count and some problems still are happening. The main problem is my truck shutting off. In Early September, I noticed as i was driving my radio would go black, then as i would tap my breaks everything would shut off and turn back on. As this happens, the stabilitrak light comes on, my truck stalls (sometimes) steering wheel locks and starts shaking. Now this happens everyday when i drive it. Go to the dealership they say it is a corroded wire, they take care of it and send me on my way. December of 2019 my truck starts doing the EXACT same thing, except now i can't even do anything but shift my truck into park and restart it, every small touch on the brake shuts my truck off. Now i live in the mountains, and we have a lot of hills. Imagine driving a blacked out truck in the middle of the night on a hilly road with no lights and your truck completely cuts out. It was sketchy. I go to the dealership, ONCE again. They replaced a WHEEL BEARING. Saying it caused the issue. tf... To my surprise the truck has been fine. Fast track to June, present day. Drive my truck for a half hour or more, the problem is back. Now i am pissed. My boyfriend and myself do research and we found a youtube video about GM trucks and problems with G218. All the exact problems to a T! i brought it to the dealership this morning, they refuse to do anything until the truck signals any of these problems. Instead of popping open the dashboard to even just look. It has been 6 hours and now they are keeping it overnight. 40 minutes from where i live.. I am pissed. I did my homework and presented it to them, thought they had listened but apparently not. From how it seems, i am not the only problem having this issue with 2014+ older GM trucks. Everyone keeps saying this needs to be a recall but the dealerships WILL NOT listen. I know people on this forum who have spent thousands on diagnosis's for their trucks to just have them messed around with. Anyone else having this issue? I would love for my boyfriend to just fix it but then it voids my warranty. How the hell do we get GM to acknowledge this and make it a recall. I am by far not the only person having this issue.

Perfect! I just ordered them now. I already bought the bushing so may just replace that anyway, and just ordered the bolts. I don't doubt that at all. Wish i knew who owned the truck before me, i have so many questions about what they did to it.

I should be around someone this weekend with a similar truck to mine, ill crawl under there and look. It does a leveling kit in it. Thanks!

I am totally new to these parts so forgive me for my ignorance, but I’ve done so much research and have yet to see a bolt that connects to the frame for this part... You are the second person that’s said that but I’m just not sure what I should be looking for because I can’t find anything on it

Thank you! It looks like it’s is still there but it’s worn down. I could be wrong but that’s what I see

@Snowcamo thank you!

I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT and have noticed knocking noises when i turn my wheel both ways, i was able to get under the truck today and look at whats going on while a coworker turned my wheel, the rack and pinion slightly moves side to side when the wheel is turned, it looks like the bushing is missing and i need a replacement. I am not sure whether you can replace the bushing itself or need to replaced the entire rack and pinion assembly. I was able to find a replacement bushing on car id but can't find one anywhere else. https://www.carid.com/2017-chevy-silverado-steering-parts/acdelco-gm-original-equipment-rack-and-pinion-mount-bushing-1623027731.html anyone have experience with this? don't feel like dropping a couple grand if i don't have too. Also, i have brand new control arms, sway bar and tie rods are good. Help me please!
