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.

      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.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
