After driving the truck for an hour and half i pulled into a parking lot, as i was turning to go down an aisle to park the truck interior lighting on the dash dimmed and the power steering died enough to jerk the steering wheel back and forth while turning.

Intermittently the steering wheel will yank from the driver's hands and warning errors for stabilitrak or traction control reported in center info screen, while the mylink screen goes blank. This typically occurs while maneuvering at low speeds in parking situations. The issue appears to be involving the vehicle's electronic steering assist and stability control systems. This is a major safety concern.

Also on the highway while driving about 20 mph i got a warning something to the effect that steering assist had been reduced drive with caution.…

While pulling out of a parking spot, i went to turn right. As turning to the right the service stabilitrak warning appeared on my dash and the steering wheel locked itself and fought against me turning right. The truck was trying to straighten the wheel out against my force of turning. I shut the truck off and restarted it and the problem was gone. Then a few week later while driving my dash and radio screens kept…

Life threathing steering issue: 2014 silverado while driving and with no warning the steering wheel jerks violently and the vehicle becomes uncontrollable, even with the strongest grip of the steering wheel. This usually occurs during turning at the most inopportune time. The stabilitrak light comes on only after the issue arises thus no warning before this happens . I have documented this occurring by video and…

When turning into a parking spot the steering locked up, jerking the opposite direction, and referenced a stabilitrak service message. Very scary causing a total lack of control with steering. Found many examples online of this happening to other owners, even video evidence. Took to chevy and they "could not replicate" so nothing they could do. I traded the truck for a new ford. Oddly enough my neighbor noticed my…
