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

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
