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.

      Thank You Another JR, I watched the transmission temp the highest was 214, the engine temp seemed normal.  Hoping not a valve body issue, but...

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Z45 · Posted

      dexos began as an effort for GM to control the oil change market because the Quick Lube Industry was eating into dealer service department profits big time. So they attempted to get other oem’s to develop standards as well and that would make it hard for Quick Lubes to compete because all the oems would be different. GM faced lot of industry push-back, mostly the quick-lube industry and they went to licenses. Still GM it making a ton of money (est'd 30-40 million in 2025) off the license structure as they charge a hefty fee to get oil tested then require a royalty on ALL gallons sold applicable to GM vehicles.

      Those are parts changers. It can get expensive though. I was a mechanic for 30 yrs. My truck has made this noise since new. I really don`t know what it is. It really doesn`t bother me. I`m still in warranty but have not brought it to the dealer.   I`m not buying the oil pump prime thing. Screw the TSB. I believe it`s in the trans pump gears. They rattle when that piss poor ULV oil drains off after a while. I believe those sharp tooth gears, with backlash, can rattle when dry. Not a vane style oil pump. Wonder who`s right? Me, or the TSB?🤔   Maybe I`m wrong?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
