I dunno how to add videos but here is a link to mine. Been at the dealer 4 days with an unable duplicate response. They also have this video. Put me in a ditch about 15 minutes before I filmed this.

At the end the truck turned off. When I cranked it back there was no sound from the radio, the blinkers, door chimes etc. Turned it off went inside and came back out and everything was fine. 38000 miles. Originally started with just the screen flickering (which I have a dated video of) and has progressed to this

Update-the dealer checked the service bulletin in this thread at my request and did a drop load test on the battery cables and all of them failed. Said to replace them will be around 400 and gm won't cover it because it's out of warranty by 2000 miles even though it was in the shop previously under warranty for this problem and the battery that they had to replace. So now they have had the truck for 5 days and I've been paying for a rental each day. I have a call in to gm that was escalated so we shall see if they come up with a resolution

Update number 2. Truck still seems to be driving fine. GM called and said they could not reimburse me because the dealer was unable to duplicate this issue when I initially took it in. Even though I have video of it doing it from sep 2015. They offered a 100 voucher good for one year on any repairs that have to be made in the future. So basically 500 out of pocket and I get a 100 voucher that I may or may not need. Really disappointed

Thanks for the info about the battery cables, Realmc. Let us know if you ever experience problems again.

My 2014 Silverado is doing the same. Turn directional on start switching lanes stabil trak comes on cruise shuts off and on warnings on dash come on and power steering loss . Its at the dealer cant duplicate this problem so they say I dont have a problem. Also lower power windows and cruise shuts off. Steering wheel jerked out of my wives hand in a parking lot at low speed, what would happen at highway speed? This truck is dangerous and they want me to take it home

dealer called yesterday ,all they did was ride around and use my gas to see if problem reaccured. Just bought a new Malibu, Corvette in garage ill think twice before I buy another Chevy

I haven't had this issue yet but if u Google g218 you will find some info on this has something to do with poor ground in the upper dash by the windshield and the speakers I'm gunna check mine out.

Got my truck back after they fixed the ground problem in the dash. Problem is worse than before. I called Chevy customer service and told them all the dealer is doing is riding the truck around trying to duplicate the problem. Her reply was i will call them and see if you can ride with them. i asked her what would happen if control was lost at 65 and somone was killed who is responsible ...I think a lawyer is next if no solution is found.

Report your safety concerns to the NHTSA site. Compile and send a registered letter listing your safety concerns with your VIN # included with a contact phone number to the address listed in your owners hand book.

Keep your letter and concerns brief to "what is happening and when" and keep all other "I think" info out of the safety letter!

 

Now you have met your legal requirement of notification of safety issue to the manufacture. If anything happens at a latter date you now have a legal argument of neglect to fix their safety related issue.

 

If and when they agree to have your vehicle checked and repaired, ask that a factory engineer be included in their repair attempts, and only except your vehicle back with a report of findings and or fix applied. Your the owner and are legally allowed to know what work that has been done to your vehicle.

 

Best of luck

There is a post by JoeDD that is similar. The dealer replaced my whole fuse block and I haven't had a problem since then. Write up said nothing about grounding issue. I was pulling out of the bank parking lot with the check for the truck when it happened. Stabilitrack light flashed, all dash light flashed, truck stalled and I was close to getting t-boned when it happened. I was able to replicate by turning the wheel right and hitting the brake to make a turn around 10mph. They took my truck for 2 weeks. I told them I have a newborn and if someone hits my truck and this was the cause then they would have a major lawsuit on their hands. They checked everything over a few times, or so they said.

    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.  
    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
