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

      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.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
