I was in an accident driving slow. Couldn't control the steering. Would only go straight. Air bag did not engage and seat belt did not work. Lights go dim and flash. Radio display not working correct. But main concern is inside lights go dim or flash.on city streets driving slow.
2015 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3l 4x4 (48,000 miles). While driving last night I was u-turning at a major intersection when the truck lost all power, then flashed "stabilitrak" on the dash, and jerked the steering wheel out of my hand. Should there have been someone coming the other direction there surly would have a major head on collision. I pulled into a parking lot after re-firing the truck and tried some low speed sharp turns and sure enough the same issue. Flickering power, "stabilitrak" flashing on dash, and steering wheel jerked out of my hand. When I say steering jerked its not as if I just lost power steering, the wheel will actually jerk as if its trying to get back to center on its own. I left the truck over night and went back this morning to have someone follow me home. This is a major safety issue. There is no issued recall for my VIN. …
When driving on a city street at about approximately 30mph , all electrical systems suddenly died and vehicle shut down. Coasted to a stop without power brakes or steering control, almost causing an accident. Turned off and on ignition and computer system had me "turn on and off driver window'. Also reference a few other electrical systems errors that cleared after once again starting vehicle. During the resulting 20 minute drive home, electrical system showed a few errors, once when initiating a turn signal and headlights flickered but car did not suddenly die. Next day it is now running okay so far. Researching this sudden electrical and total system shutdown online I found numerous issues with 2014/2015 Silverado models from others. …
My 2015 Chevrolet Silverado crewcab ld has a very dangerous steering issue. The problem is the steering system fully gives out making it impossible to turn the wheel and sometimes the wheels jerks back approximately 1/4 turn. GM has recalled trucks for this issue on all Silverado models 2014/15 except the 2015 crew cab . This is a very dangerous issue . The truck only has 36,251 miles and is taken care of to the fullest per manufacturers guidelines . This is a very dangerous issue and it seems that GM has admitted it and recalled many vehicles outside the trucks as well for the same problem, hopefully they will do the right thing and make a recall for all affected models before someone gets seriously hurt.

I'm having issues with my Chevy Silverado dying out while driving when I'm making turns that will cause the truck to have error messages popping up with regards to the stable trac sensor, the airbag light coming on, the radio going in and out, and the ac going out/coming back on. While backing up the truck is locking up on me, and the steering wheel is jerking out of my hands, which will dye out as well. When I go to start it back up the truck then gives me an error message of roll down the drivers side window that you have to do in order to clear it out. I've currently had this at the Chevy dealership the past 6 months without them being able to fix this numerous times.

Headlights flickering when on. While in motion my stabilitrack light illuminates along with the seatbelt light. When using the turn signal the radio display goes out for about a second and turns back on. When braking the radio display goes off for a second. I get a low battery signal maybe 2 or 3 times a week, I drive my truck daily. It has 76K miles. I lose power steering after about 150 mile drive. Its been happening for about 3-4 months. 4/22/2019 was the worst. All of it happened yesterday on a 175 mile drive
