Tahoe stops while turning the steering

[HS05]

Hi guys,
I bought a used 2015 Tahoe LT. It stalls/stops while turning the steering. The more you turn, the more it gets harder to move. It happens in reverse mode also.

Anybody else faced this issue and possible solutions please.


Thanks

Only happens when in reverse?

need more details or a video, does it feel like the brakes are applying? or more like the drivetrain is binding up?, have you jacked it up and looked to see what is doing from underneath? does it have hydroboost brakes?

4wd?

Stalls/stops as in the engine shuts off or does the truck just not move or moves slow and skips along when the wheel is turned?

Happens in both reverse and fwd mode

Yes it feels like the brakes are applying. Haven’t jacked it and don’t know about hydroboost brakes.

Today I switched to 2wd mode and able to turn easily. So the issue is only on 4wd mode

Truck moves slow and feels like it’s braking. More I turn steering more it becomes difficult to maneuver

This is totally normal. You should not be driving around on dry pavement in 4wd. You are causing very high stress on the drivetrain when doing this.

When you turn, the wheel on the outside needs to travel farther than the wheel on the inside, thus spinning at a different rate. In 4wd, the wheels are turning at the same rate because the axle is engaged and receiving power.
