I love Chevy, but it's time something is done about auto makers! They put in all this tech, but can't fix it, So they let the consumer eat it while they get away with it! Time to change/ make some new laws!
Thank you for this video. I know it's been a few years for you but this very thing just happened to me (2018 Chevy 2500HD). What did you have to do to fix the issue and/or issues? Like you I'm stuck but was lucky to get the truck to a safe place.
My 2014 silverado did this to my while driving down the snow covered hill from my house, I couldn’t do anything but hit the brakes which were pretty much useless. Hit a pine tree at less than 10 mph and so far the estimate for repairs sits at $9,764. And they flat out don’t believe me about the steering thing.
The wife must have knocked something underneath with her boots(winter)..get underneath and wiggle tight every wire by brake and gas pedal...THIS WORKS..U GUYS ARE THE BEST SAVED ME $2000!!!
This happened to me to try to program a key with an inexperienced technician, after reading in a post that unplugging the battery for 10min, the message disappeared. Be careful not to break the nut that tightens the battery pole (it happened to me)
From what I have seen pretty well documented problem. Also there is recalls on power steering assist. They just found a loop hole why they dont have to cover it even though this same thing is happening to many similar chevy/GMC vehicles. Good luck
I'm dealing with this crap right now on my 2015 1500..Dealer is acting like they never heard of it and charged me to diagnose it even tho they didnt find anything wrong Of course my truck didnt act up the whole week they had it.
2018 silverado has been steering assist for a year now(2022 now). hard to steer but works safely. will call dealer to see if recall but wont spend any money on this at all~!!!!!!!!
one of series problem in Chevy truck new modules , I have Tahoe 2015 which i lost the steering on the road and thank god i was near to my home , I find that inside EPS motor so much water ,I dont know why they did not seal and make it protected from water . I have Land cruiser for 15 years and I never have like this problem . This device vey expensive . Is there any other way to seal it or protect so can work for long time ?
My 2014 Silverado has the same thing bad rack and pinion with just 36,000 miles. I towed it to the dealer they wanted 3,500 say I couldn’t drive it like that. I told them no thank got my keys and drove out, I been driving like for 1 and half with no power steering. Do you have any videos on changing the rack and pinion?
Hey man quick question what did they diagnose was wrong with your truck? I have a 2016 Silverado 1500 and the steering is starting to get tight on me I did replace the rack and pinion It's not too long ago I'm hoping that it's just the steering assist or Power steering control module But not sure It's good to know I can at least drive without power steering Then spending a few grand
@@sjm07400exhi there, what was ur solution. Our 2018 suburban on our trip to mexico just this morning we lost p.s 😞 now we don't knl what to do and we're 17 hrs away frm home ..plz lmk thank u.
I figured it out on my 2014 sierra. I was having the same problems,I took it to the dealer they wanted $2,000 so I said forget yall,i took it home and found the problem under the dashboard on driver side. I saved myself $2000. Just reached under the dash and the problem has been gone for 4 months nos
@@Fuzzy_out on my 2014 it's a set of wires wrapped into 1 and they run right next to the bcm module it's a grey small box that sits above the brake pedal. You really have to stick your head under the dash and you'll see it,wiggle those wires around it and the issues goes away. Let me know if you can fix that way
I have a 2016 1500 with the same problem, i have to go under my truck every time I want to drive it and tighten the electrical connector and it’ll “work” again...
@@grupoinztinkto hi there were in a trip to mexico and our suburban this morning ended up like fhis now were stuck here and dont knl what to do. What was ur solution? Thank u
Had my steering rack replaced 4yrs ago under a recal. Now it’s fucking ip and shit locks up on me every now and then. pos Chevy man after this truck I’m never getting another one of these garbage ass trucks. I loved Chevy but man they don’t make em like they use too. Everything from the motor to water condensers to yadayada is all bullshit. Anyways, ya guys idk what my dealer will tell me but my shit is messed up. Hopefully I can find someone who can replace it cuz the dealer will just ask for a down payment on a bugatti to fix ur shit.
@@dougie2fly511 yes. Even tho my comment sounded a bit harsh it took a bit digging to find out the issue. First I decided to clean all my grounds on my truck for they were a bit dirty. Next I went to inspect the ground going from the negative terminal to the engine block. Found out my steering issues were bc of the grounds. Some have to replace the negative cable entirely (65$) for they go bad for whatever reason and the issues go away. So far Havnt had it happen again. Dealerships will never tell you this stuff, so thank god for TH-cam.
@@duran4689 I’ll try doing that, idk why it only happens to me when I’m about to pull into my driveway. I get a message that says “stabilitrak” and “power steering reduced drive carefully” , my AC cuts off and all that. Hopefully I can figure something out, thanks.

@@jrbass62 25k lb?? No standard size truck can tow that amount 😂 not even the newest cummins. But if you were being sarcastic then I guess
I used to love chevy. Hate them now. The issues are just too much.

Had a issue like this and hit a pole going like 20ish was turning when it locked up the cost to repair is around 2000

Take it somewhere else then

Electric power steering sucks. Have had this issue in my raptor, explorer and my 2020 Silverado.

The electric motors are now available for purchase. The motor powers the rack. Cheap.
Do you know where to buy it online a link or place?
@@Fuzzy_out where the link for that

Aren’t these electric steering? I figured if anything the little motor for it might have gone out but gee the whole rack and pinion!
Yep. Not a fun experience. No problems since replacement.
Where did you get the part from?? I’m having the exact same problem on my 2014 Silverado it’s electric power steering
Kyle Phillips What do you or they suspect caused this?
@@Mr.Beastforpresident they said my giant oversize tires and lift kit caused it.
Tires are 1" bigger. Lift kit is a 1.5" leveling shock kit in front.
@@Fuzzy_out how do you Fix it ..
I have a chevy Silverado 2017
Our 2017 Suburban has the same issue, happens about once every two months randomly. Did you figure out the problem?
Had to change the entire power steering rack.
@@Fuzzy_out ours is under warranty, hopefully the dealer doesn't find a loophole, they are good at that lol
Kyle Phillips How much to fix? Also is the new one updated and stronger?
@@Mr.Beastforpresident its about $2,000 but free if there's a recall
