2017 Silverado 1500 lost of power steering

[@Montana_Bob]

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.

[@HorsepowerHouse]

Take it somewhere else then

[@daleaddison1410]

I had to replace the drive belt in the rack and pinion and also had to change the fuse distribution box on top of the battery. That's the power steering fuses for 14-19 Chevy Silverados and other GMC vehicles

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!

I used to love chevy. Hate them now. The issues are just too much.

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.

[@motika64]

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)

[@carlosramos1189]

Thank you , helped more than the video 🙏🏻

[@spartakick300]

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

[@edgu71eg]

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.

[@thelouiebrand]

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

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!!!

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

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...

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

I tried that trick. Design changed for 2017

[@insall57]

@@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

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?

[@Fuzzy_out]

The electric motors are now available for purchase. The motor powers the rack. Cheap.

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

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.

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]

No kidding, I felt that. Did you ever get it fixed? I’m having the same problem and I’m hoping this doesn’t happen to me when I’m on the road

[@duran4689]

@@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 KZbin.

[@dougie2fly511]

@@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.
