POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My wife came home and told me there was something wrong with our truck. I went and inspected it and found nothing. The next day i drove the truck about 30 miles up river. Coming home I was traveling around 55 mph the truck came to a sudden slow down as if I had locked up the brakes then drove fine again. This happened three or four times not as bad as first time. While in town stopped at a light it tried to take of. Not like something giving it gas but like it was in gear and the brake wasnt going to hold it. Almost put me into a school bus ahead of me. Then the rest of the way home it kept binding down and releasing then binding back down. Hard to control but not necessarily a break problem. Its something else. I have worked on vehicles all my life, professionally for 25 years. I never seen a vehicle do this. It has to be in the transmission. Maybe something in the torque converter would be my guess. I have heard of the issues with the 8 speed ever sense this happened I have parked this truck. I cant afford a need transmission that doesnt actually fix the problem from what i hear. I feel GM needs to do something here. At least pay for the parts to fix it

Service Trailer Brake System constantly turns on. I have never used the Trailer System, My concern is that while driving it will light up and causing an accident because i might take my eyes off the road. What I also notice is Radio (USB) stop working and motor takes time to start.

POWER TRAIN
For several years this truck will at times start "grade braking" on its own. In other words, at speed, ie: 55 mph, the computer chip will tell the transmission to downshift to assist in "grade braking". The danger is that it actually speeds up the truck, and while attempting to stop at a stop sign, (or light), the truck is actually speeding up, while I am actively pushing on the brake pedal to stop at the light. I ended up having to replace the transmission with a new (rebuilt) transmission. I hoped this would end the problem, but now once again, I have the problem occurring with the replacement transmission. GM tells me they cannot program out the grade braking component. This is a very dangerous situation in which one day I will be unable to stop where required, due to stopped traffic, or a stop signal.

SERVICE BRAKES
The truck, with only 77,700 miles on it, suddenly started popping the error "Service Trailer Brake System" and no trailer was even attached at the time. It happened three times over the last day when starting the truck and initially driving for about the first 10 minutes. Other times it does not ding or show an error. Something in the integrated trailer brake system is faulty and appears to be a EXTREMELY COMMON issue on the Chevrolet trucks. When this error happens, there is no power to the electric trailer brakes. I tow a 33' 12,000 lbs fifth-wheel with this truck. Randomly not having trailer brakes is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! This is an EXTREMELY COMMON issue with the integrated brake controllers in the Chevrolet trucks and it needs to be a RECALL and repaired by Chevrolet. Randomly not having brakes on a heavy trailer is LIFE ENDANGERING for not only the occupants of the truck having the SAFETY ISSUE but for everyone else on the roadway around that truck!

POWER TRAIN
vehicle is shifting hard between 1st and 2nd. it only seems to do it at lower speeds. the RPMS had a shudder between and only once the truck has been running for awhile. has been in to an independent service dept. at the local dealer where it was purchased and has had all work done since purchased. there are no warring lights or check engine messages. they flushed all fluids and hooked to diagnostic machine found nothing. had it back for a week and it did it again. Took it back to them and had them ride along so they could see what it was doing. they replaced the torque converter although the shudder is gone but it still shifts hard between 1/2

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My control panel keeps flicking the radio with phantom touches to the touch screen. It is making all sorts of gyrations, shifting over to my speed indicator screen, at times, the radio turns on by itself, very loud. I find online that many people are having similar issues with this condition. This is very distracting to the driver while driving on the highway, it should be considered a safety issue. Can you please research how many vehicles are having this issue? Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I was driving my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and towing my thirty foot travel trailer I suddenly received a banner on the center of my dash to "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM" at which time I lost power to my trailer brakes. Not only did I lose power to my trailer brakes for the remainder of my trip but I also had to listen to a dinging noise for over 2 hours while driving. Between the brakes not working and the non stop distraction from the dinging, I did not feel safe at all along with worrying about my wife and kids who were also in the vehicle.

onstar/GPS system has failed and the built in navigational system shows that there is no GPS signal. There is also water leaking by the drivers side sun visor and above the parking brake. There were no warning signs of the problem with the GPS or onstar system other than when onstar was needed for emergency use it was unavailable and the built in navigation system was unable to be used because it showed up that GPS was unavailable.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES
This is a 2015 Chevy Silverado, I continuously get a message reading "Service: Trailer Brake System". This error message would continuously chime every 5 seconds, no matter if I cleared the message with the check button on the steering wheel or left it on. This chime would override the radio, phone calls, turn signal chime and any other noises put out by the vehicle in addition to covering the digital speedometer readout. I have yet to take it to a dealership as today was the first repetitive issue lasting over 30 minutes. I first noticed this at random over the last 2 months, but these messages would stop after 2-5 minutes worth of chimes. I plan to take this to a dealer for inspection, but wanted to check for recalls/ report the issue before doing so.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I purchased this truck from a private seller due to its capacity to tow. After driving it for one day, an alert came up on the dashboard display saying "Service: Trailer Brake System". So I hit "Dismiss", but the alert keeps coming on and it is very intermittent and very distracting. Sometimes the alarm chime will continue for several seconds causing the driver to take their eyes off the road which is dangerous, but also, who knows what will happen when towing a trailer. I've looked it up online and this is an issue with many owners of the truck so Chevrolet should do a recall and provide a fix for this.
