My safety system service warning comes on for about 30 seconds and then goes back off. This has happened about 4 times now. The transmission causes my truck to shake randomly. My pulley is going out and the local dealer said they wouldn't replace is under warranty(even though my warranty was still is effect) because they said it looked like someone sprayed tire cleaner under the hood(I bought it from the same dealership that I took it to for this service.) The brake seem to shake already when coming to a stop. They seem as if they are wearing prematurely.

SERVICE BRAKES
I recently brought my 2015 Silverado in to the local dealership to fix the “increased brake pedal effort” recall. The dealership reprogrammed the brake control module but the problem still persists. Yesterday 03/07/23 I experienced loss of brake power in interstate traffic while traveling at low speed. This happened several times and it is very concerning. I believe the GM vacuum pump is faulty and I will contact the dealership about replacing it.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
Transmission doesn’t shift smoothly and often slams into second gear from first very hard. Downshifting on rare occasions shifts to a lower gear before necessary causing rpms to go from 2800-3000 up to 4500-5000. I have to touch the gas real quick to upshift. Also brakes seem to require extra strength to engage if hard braking is required. Like the booster is not reacting properly.
