Truck shuts off while turning randomly

Hello everyone,  

I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 with a leveling kit and 33x12 wheels. 

 

So I've been dealing with the problem of my truck shutting off when parallel parking and for the first time it shut off while making a right turn after a stop. Sometimes I'll start my truck and the problem will happen. In each of these times the "service stabilitrak" message comes on and my steering wheel flings to center itself and my truck shuts off. It has always started right back up after a few minutes. I also have a steering assist is reduced message but my steering has been feeling perfectly fine. I've been researching this problem for a while now and so far I have:

 

checked the ground under the dash (G218) and there was no insulation present there ( i believe GM fixed this problem).

 

I cleaned the ground behind the passenger wheel and even went as far as to change the entire negative cable. 

 

My ABS wiring was messed up from rubbing on the control arm which i fixed as well and no longer rubs. 

 

Even though i dont have a check engine light on i ran a scan and the code P10E4 came up as a possible issue, but after work i ran the scan again and the code disappeared without clearing it or anything. 

If anyone has some type of advice or direction it would be greatly appreciated!

I am having the exact same issue at the moment! It started about 2-3 weeks ago and is happening more and more often. I’ve checked all the grounds as well and haven’t come up with anything.

Even just a week after I bought my new 2017 Silverado 3500 WT I began having those problems and I pulled the fuses for ABS and traction control. I know that seems weird and I’m not saying you should do this but I grew up racing and never liked those features anyways. I tow a lot and this forced me to get a aftermarket trailer brake controller. This actually works much better than the stock one. Happier all around and I never had to deal with the dealership hassle that I read so many people have had to deal with over the years. Good luck, it is a GM issue that maybe or maybe not they can fix for you.

Search the forums for "PIT5405".  This instruction covers the G218 ground but also other points to check (like starter connection, battery cables, etc).

look into your Evap system, sometimes raw fuel gets into the system (sometime when trying to top off the fuel tank) and floods the intake, especially when turning, and at low RPMs stalls the engine, it happens to my son's Ram truck w/Hemi

I have same problem 2017 AT 6.2 

shut off  while driving once  !!! Bot truck new just started this winter 55k 
checked all the grounds neg battery cable etcetc all the known causes 

Dealer had truck for 2 days could not find issue and truck never shut  off when they had  it 

in my case only happened in very cold weather but truck fully warmed up 

when it shuts off cranks and fires but shuts off immediately 

let it sit for 10-15 minutes starts and runs fine ?? 
when dealer had it it showed my low pressure fuel pump was getting weak intermiitently 

they “ think “ the pump getting hot and pressure drops truck shuts off 

when let sit  for a while pump cools then it starts ???

Thats odd because my truck only does this when the weather is warmer out. This happened a few times last summer but the problem went away once i cleaned the ground behind the passenger wheel. All through the winter it was fine up until we had a few nicer days then the problem came back

So i finally decided to take my truck into the dealer and they checked it out and told me the software was very outdated on a lot of things...cant remember what specifically, but i get my truck back tomorrow and will come back to you guys if the problem is still there.

Voltage drop both battery cables, anything over half volt and they should be replaced. An extremely common problem on those trucks. We change a lot of them at work.

It says the updated my power steering control module software. So far everything has been working good.

2017 Silverado

My truck is trying to kill me!!!

Shuts off when turning at low speeds...like when turning left at busy intersection. I reported issue to transportation board of Canada because GM wont do sh*t. 

"Like a Rock" Yes, like a rock indeed, I guess that means it sinks your bank account like one!!!

160000 kms or 100000 mi:

Transmission rebult...$7400.00

AC condenser leaking - bad wield  $1200.00

Crazy electrical problem - truck shuts off completely..dead... engine, radio all electrical. $ ???? Chasing this one myself

electrician by trade.

No recalls here in Canada for any of these issues... got to love GM...like a rock they said...

GM is aware of all of these problems because they have mostly been recalled in US but here in Canada we are too nice.

Sorry to bother you, but my truck that I bought new from you is a piece of SH*T

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      No, not yet. Hoping I'll have something a little more definitive in the next day or 2. They seemed to be very confident they can order it. I do have some understanding of the whole allocations and restraints stuff so we'll see.   I think this is what I'm looking for.   3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL

      Then you haven't read your book. It also says check every 400 miles.   If you need to add multiple quarts in that distance then reading the stick isn't the issue. Put the two together and it will make sense. Read it all.

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.
