 Description of the problemI was having what i thought was an electrical problem. In traffic after hitting my breaks many times i noticed my dash lights go dim, the radio would cut out once in a while and my gauge cluster would reset just like it looks when you first start the truck. This happened several times in approx. 30 min. I was planning on taking it in the first chance i got but the next day i was driving in my residential neighborhood, a car was coming the opposite way when and i hit my breaks the steering wheel violently jerked out of my hand and caused the vehicle to drive up onto the sidewalk and almost into a retaining wall. Everything was dinging the abs and other lights were on and the word stabilitac was displayed on the center dash. Thankfully no one was injured. I immediately called the dealership when i got home and took it in to have it looked at. The dealership had my truck for several days and offered no real explanation for what caused the problem other than it was a software problem. Now here we are a month later i'm driving down the interstate and take my exit for work. When i hit my breaks the lights go dim in the truck, the radio goes out, the abs and other indicator lights come on, things are dinging and stabilitrac is displayed on the screen on the dash. When i started into my turn the wheel jerked violently many times in the opposite direction of my turn causing the vehicle to go onto the shoulder of the off ramp. It took every bit of strength to keep the vehicle on the road. I reluctantly continued on to work as it happened a few more times. One of them i was able to capture on video. The vehicle is currently at the same dealership that made the first assessment and repair. I don't feel safe operating this vehicle even after the repair as it has been proven it can and will happen again.. Someone is going to get killed or seriously injured if gm doesn't fix it.
