Looking for some help on my wife’s 2017 Chevy Silverado ..it has 48,000 miles odd.

She said she was driving along going around a corner slow and the traction light came on in the vehicle quit 

She said it restarted right up it went a little bit for a while.

The second time I was driving the vehicle backing out of a spot the steering wheel got tight the engine stalled like I turn the key off and on my dash it was saying to roll my window up and down I did this and then the vehicle started right back up !!

Two days later my son was driving the truck pulling into a parking lot going slow into a spot he told me the wheel got tight couldn’t turn the wheel in the vehicle died out again and then he said the same thing he noticed on the dash it was saying to roll the window up and down on the drivers door.

This vehicle is still under a factory warranty I’ve been reading reviews and it doesn’t seem like they really know what’s going on I’m hoping maybe somebody on this site can enlighten me give me an idea on this type of problem or had this type of problem and what was the outcome, Seemingly it’s only done this at a real slow speed ,I’m going to schedule an appointment At the dealership and hoping they found out what these issues are ,I know intermittent problems can be a real pain in the butt could be anything from a bad ground,or possibly wires shorting out , again anybody who’s had any of the symptoms I’d really like to know if they ever found out what was causing it thanks again Scott

My 1st thought is "Bad Ground". Many issues pop up on the forum about this plus many Youtube videos. Since it's under warranty, let the dealer check it out & mention to him "cleaning grounds"

 

Good luck & keep us posted...

Thanks for the info much appreciated I check the vehicle out today and found my positive cable was very loose I guess when I bought the vehicle they forgot to tighten it I’m hoping this cures the problem time will tell I will keep you posted I like to know when something gets fixed when people reach out to help thanks again Scott

If it doesn’t pan out I’ll drop it off at the dealer thanks again

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      Service 4wd, ESC light, traction control light on, Service charging system (vehicle may stall)

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
