2017 Camaro 2SS Complete shutdown and StabilityTrack system issues
Hi Everyone,
I had this weird issue yesterday. When I was parking all of a sudden power steering was disabled, I didn't get any warning on the dash but steering was extremely heavy. Then all the power and electricity of the car went off. There was nothing. I tried starting car again, it worked all fine. Later this morning when I was waiting on red light, I saw this warning saying "Service required StabilityTrack..." something like this. Then power steering went off for few seconds and then came back. I am pretty much sure something like this shouldn't happen. Did anyone else experience such issues with 2017 2SS ? |

Hmm. When was the last time you changed your battery? I had this happen on my 2013 2ss Camaro when the battery needed to be replaced. When the voltage of the battery becomes low, it will trigger off false warnings.

I did check battery, voltage looks fine. Also shows fine in the car as well. Warnings isn't the big problem actually. Car dying is a big problem. I was really lucky it happened when I was parking. But what if I was on high way or something. Not having any engine power and electric power makes that car a moving coffin for me on the highway.

Loose battery or ground cable.

Sometimes it takes about 3-4 seconds for engine to start in cold morning (around 40F) but voltage is always more than 12.5V (1.25 for each section), once car starts running needle always at the right side of 14 (for 2SS's digital needle thing)

I took the car to service this morning mentioned all problems. Lucky for me car is still under 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. If it's anything other than battery, it should be covered. |

Just got off the call with my service adviser, they said problem was "power steering rack" not sure if that was exactly the name he used but it seems it was causing some sort of sort cut in the system. Which makes sense because both times when engine and all electricity was gone, power steering was the first one giving red flags and dying first.
Luckily they had the parts in stock and replaced them under warranty and I will be able to pick up my car after they take care of alignment. |

Not sure if that was the case but does look like it was. I am just lucky both instances happened low speed and almost no traffic areas. Otherwise car would have been a moving coffin to me.
