I have a 2017 Silverado that started displaying  "Steering Assist is reduced Drive with care" and "Service Stabilitrak" in February shortly after the vehicle rolled over 60,000 KM.  I brought it to the the dealer and the first two visits were covered under warranty, but did not resolve the issue.  Went back two more times and spent approximately $1000 and the issue went away for a couple of weeks and the issue returned.  I have also had a case open with GM regarding this issue as it appears to be a common problem based on the numerous web searches i have done.  I would recommend anyone with this issue to put a call into GM and complain.  I would also be interested in hearing if anyone had this issue and made it go away.

Welcome to the site.

 

Can you give more details on what was attempted to be fixed, what repairs were done?

I will post what was done in the next day or so once i find the details.  I did recently buy a bluedriver code reader and the codes that were pulled are as follows:

 

Power Steering Control Module Codes

U0428 CURRENT/HISTORY/MIL
Invalid Data Received From Steering Angle Sensor Module


U0415 CURRENT/HISTORY
Invalid Data Received From Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module


U0126 CURRENT/HISTORY/MIL
Lost Communication With Steering Angle Sensor Module


C0544 CURRENT/HISTORY/MIL
Brake Pressure Sensor "B" Circuit/Open

 

Anti-Lock Brake System Codes

U0077 HISTORY
Control Module Communication Bus "E" Off


U0126 CURRENT/HISTORY/MIL
Lost Communication With Steering Angle Sensor Module


U0428 HISTORY
Invalid Data Received From Steering Angle Sensor Module

 

U0151 CURRENT/HISTORY/MIL
Lost Communication With Restraints Control Module


U0452 HISTORY
Invalid Data Received From Restraints Control Module

 

Human-Machine Interface Module Code

B127E HISTORY
No description available

 

I do know a sensor was replaced, there was a loose wire and they replaced a wiring harness.  After the wiring harness was replaced, it worked great for a couple of weeks and they started acting up again.  This issue was first reported when i was 500 KM past the warranty.  I shall post more details once i find them

I am happy to report that it has been resolved.  In the end it was a series of loos wires between two junction boxes.  Details of what was done are in the attached photos.   The first two visits were free and covered under warranty.  There were two visits to the dealer that were not reported...the first one they found nothing (which i had to pay for) and the other one they determined the problem was with the steering angle sensor at a cost of $2000+ to replace (diagnostic charge i had to pay for....did not pay proceed with this repair)  my wife was pissed and posted a negative review on the dealers facebook page which prompted a call from the general manager, followed up with a call by the service manager.  this resulted in the final visit which was covered by the dealer.  the steering sensor was not replaced, but instead the work listed in the picture label "gm final fix.jpg"  I have sense put about 2000 km on this vehicle on highways, back country roads, rough roads and the sensor has not come back on.  I had also opened a case with GM with the issue as well, which is not tottally resolved yet.  will post more on that when i have more info.

My 2016 GMC 1500 SLE has been in the shop 4 times now due to Stabilizer issues, lost of steering, etc.  They replaced all the cables and some box that sits up top of the battery.  All cables to the steering gear and some control module last time for not communicating.  Now it's back in the shop as of last Tuesday for not starting, lost of steering, etc.and I won't be getting it until this coming Monday.  This is an ongoing issue with all the vehicles that share the 1/2 ton chassis, Chevy and GMC. (2014--2018) Yup, I also have an ongoing claim with GMC as it being an unsafe vehicle.  Twice I have narrowly missed other vehicles when the steering goes south.  

 

What gets me is we, the consumer , has to pay thru the nose to have these issues fixed.  I myself put the truck up on my lift and went thru several of the service bulletins.  But my GOD, these trucks today have more sensors than NASA does on the Space Shuttle!  I have actually talked with several salesmen that actually traded their vehicles in and "Let someone else pay for the repairs!"  Not encouraging is it?  But we will see what happens on Monday next!

Hi I’m curious what was done and if your truck is fixed? I’ve had mine into the dealer now three times and they can’t tell me what is wrong with it.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
