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.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
