Not normal and not good. Either have it repaired or have your friends move to a different neighborhood.

You seem to be one of the rare Silveradoes to experience this. This is an assembly problem with late 2014 -15 Sierra models. It's a ground problem. Never heard of Silveradoes having this problem since they were assembled in a different plant.

Looks like GM has finally admitted there is a major issue with these 2014 trucks. They have issued a recall for the exact problem I paid my dealership $500 to supposedly fixed. Any one with these problems needs to take it in to dealer. Nice to know we are driving around in trucks that will lose control at any given turn.

I have a 2015 Tahoe that has been shutting down,steering wheel locks,stabilitrak and parking assistant warning.Almost killed my family at 85 MPH

Chevy doesn't seem to care.They did a recall on the steering assist module,but it continues to put our family in harms way.This is awful.The dealership is doing nothing about it.

I have a 2002 Cadillac Escalade AWD and sometimes when I'm making a turn, ie: turning into a parking space or entering a freeway on ramp my steering tries to lock up! My stabilitrak and brake light are lite up on my screen. I took it to my mechanic, he put his tester on it and the code said it was my Electronic Brake Control Module (this part has been discontinued by the dealer) He found one in a junk yard (cost $500.00) and installed it. The brake lite on the dash went out but the stabilitrak light is still on and my steering still locks up occasionally. When I took it back and he tested it again, the code said the brakes need bleeding, he bled them several times and it continues to say they need to be bled! What could be causing this?

A theoretical situation: What would be your opinion if this happened at 65MPH with your family in the truck? What you experienced can't happen someplace else? Are you sure?

I have a 2016 Silverado and my steering wheel also locks up. Shuts all the electronics in the truck off at the same time. I have to move at a higher speed to bring it out. Only does it in parking lots while flashing parking assist off. It shut off the electronics while doing 60 down the road when I tried to put both front windows up

Check your grounds. Clean them and make sure the grounds are on tight.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By KARNUT · Posted

      First off use it in the way you’re more comfortable. In working in off road situations most of my life I used 4WD low range very little. In most cases when equipped I used auto 4WD. If I wanted maximum control going up and down very steep terrain  I used low range. Especially if I was driving a diesel. Same with very rutted terrain. In very muddy or snowy conditions I wanted momentum so high range worked well for that. With gravel ramps with limited traction I would try high range first. I would want smooth even increasing speed if I was fighting traction. Low range could give you too much to the wheels breaking traction trying to move.

      Having owned 4wd vehicle since the 1970s I find there are varying opinions on how to use 4wd, every owner is an expert in their minds.  IMO, 4LO is the appropriate gear and what I would use,  You have to feather the gas to avoid spinning tires and the lower the gear the better chance.  But like I said you will find those that think their method is best.  I live near a boat launch.  Yesterday there was a new Ford Maverick pulling out a pontoon boat almost 2x its size, they had no problems and they don't have a LO range.   True story. One winter day not long ago I was coming out of small town post office and there was a F150 4wd parked in front and was stuck foot deep snow ruts. I knew the lady so I asked her to put it in 4wd (wondering why in the middle of a 2-day snow storm she wasn't).  Her reply surprised me, "my husband" (the expert) told me not use that because it uses too much gas. She finally got unstuck spinning in 2wd which likely used more gas than not.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.
