WTF GMC, as I'm sitting here in a parking lot waiting for a tow truck I googled this problem. My GMC Sierra with 331 miles on it shows "service ESC" , and service power steering, drive with care. Meanwhile the steering wheel doesn't move at all. Again WTF?

My husband is the Service Manager at a Chevy Dealership and was unaware of this issue until it happened yesterday (Dec. 28th) twice while en route with travel trailer and children on our 2019 Chevy Si

This happened to me this weekend but also had a Brake System Failure message and the brakes barely worked. Thankfully I was sitting in a Starbuck's drive thru before heading on a 3 hour road trip so I

Do everyone a favor and go to NHTSA and report it as a safety issue. Once they get a bunch of complaints that is how recalls get started. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I have had the issue several times on my 2019 Siverado 1500. A took a photo, attached. Dealer says they can not duplicate. As you can see from pic, the truck is in reverse and the back up cam is not on. After several attempts to restart and clear, I pressed the the traction control switch with truck key in accessory position and it cleared. Dealer still can not duplicate.

I had very similiar problem happen on my 2019 GMC Sierra with 7000 miles. I had parked and when I returned  I found the messages where I had lost most all braking, power stearing and had a dash full of lights telling me all sorts of warnings. I drove it about a mile and parked it and turned it off and back on and the problem continued. I turned it back off the second time and waited about 30 seconds and then heard a "clunking" noise under the dash/hood like a realy etc. had dropped out and it has been fine ever since. That was about 3000 miles ago. When I took it to the dealer for the initial 7000 oil change they found four recalls one of which I think had to do with this problem. The recall was 14121 (# N192210460) eBoost Control Module Software False Detection with DTC Associated - Reprogrammed BSCM per Recall. The three other recalls had to do with the navigation map and trailering lighting. Now the transmission is jerking and slipping and I understand there is a class action lawsuit ongoing about people having similiar transmission problems unfortunately. I have less than 9000 miles on the new truck.

Just had my first issue with my 2019 Silverado at just under 5,000 miles. Same "Service Power Steering / Drive With Care" and "Service ESC" that many of you have reported, but luckily, I had no brake issues or alerts. After power cycling 4 times, I had to drive 10 miles home without power steering, which i hadn't done in years! Finally I got home, and let it sit for a few minutes. Out of curiosity, I started it up again, and found no alerts or issues. Seems to be fine now but I'll call the dealer in the morning so they can check for errors and computer updates.

Well it seems after contacting GM Corporate,  customer care. I now have an appointment to find the problem.  GM representative stated  multiple dealers  have reported this steering problem and the mechanic who witnessed the issue has been tasked with finding the problem. The issued happened to me 2 months in a row on the 4th of the month at almost the same time of day. As my appointment isn't until the 9th I will have video camera in hand on the 4th.

I had my 2019 Silverado parked for about 30 minutes after going into my house to do something before I left again. And when I got in my truck, I turned it on and as soon as I put the truck in drive. All the lights on the panel turned in and the screen where the gauges said “service esc” and also said “brake system failure too speed 62 mph” and as I got scared I pushed the brakes and they did not work. My truck only has 2207 miles on it.  I put all my weight down on the brake pedal and the vehicle continued to roll downhill. I had my 3 kids with me. I have a 3 year old with Down syndrome and I have a 19 year old with a disability. My truck had to roll into a stop because the brakes did not work. I had to get my truck towed to the nearest dealership. They said my truck “lost connection” with itself. Has anybody else have this happen to them?

I had all these problems 31 days in the shop and I am supposed to pick up tomorrow. Chaffed wire on the harness was the culprit hopefully it’s fixed had this happen one time before and they replaced tcm didn’t fix it

I'd be curious to know which wire if by chance they can point it out to you. Maybe it's in a bad location that allows it to rub against something? Be interested to know what all they say when you show up.

I would inspect the work if possible when you pick it up, i remember another forum member on here had work done to their harness and it was a complete hack job from the dealer with what i remember.

Mine just did this today after replacing the wheels. A bunch of lights came on. Had to put alot of pressure on the brakes like the booster was dead. Turned it off about half an hour then turned it back on and the only light on is the CEL and the fact it feels like it has power loss. I have an appointment this Thursday at the dealer but would be able to do standby if I drop it off which I'll do tomorrow cuz this is rediculous especially with a month old vehicle.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
