POWER TRAIN
While driving the vehicle wont shift properly. As someone with a degree in automotive I checked the vehicle which has code P0741 in the TCM. I contacted GM regarding the problems with my vehicle and they agreed to pay a portion of the costs to repair if I had it diagnosed by a dealership. The dealer diagnosed it between them and GM they replaced the valve body. This did not fix the issue. The dealer found metal shavings in the transmission which it not a good thing. This transmission needs to be replaced. However, getting the dealer or GM to say or do this is not working. I am stuck with a vehicle that isn't functioning properly. I have talked with other dealerships and transmission repair shops which all agree that if metal was found the then the transmission needs replaced.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My Service Trailer Brake System light comes on. This is the 2nd time that I have had to take my truck in for this issue. The first time it was fixed it lasted for about a year. I am not sure what the issue is, but there seems to be a lot of people with this same issue that is very concerning especially when you are pulling a heavy load and the trailer brakes stopped working.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Trailer Brake system message comes on multiple time. Have never pulled a trailer. Also when going 75mph on cruise control the "Stabilitrak" message comes up and kicks off my cruise and completely blanks out my screens. This is extremely bothersome and is DEFINITELY a safety issue with this wiring problem.

No trailer hooked up and "Service Trailer Brake System" appears. Will dismiss but the chime continues. Would believe this would cause an accident if equipped with a heavy load requiring trailer brakes. Will not be hauling anything with trailer brakes at this point.

Trailer Brake system warning keeps flashing on my display even though I am not towing anything behind my truck. Now I am worried to tow my camper or my boat behind my truck do to this unknown issue, I was told by GM that it may have something to do with a cable assembly harness. I have only owned this truck for 8mos and I dont tow anything on a regular basis. What is going on?? I will get more info when i bring my truck back from GM.

SERVICE BRAKES
Reporting a common issue in GM vehicles. Trailer Brake Service signal digging on my 2017 Chevy LTZ. CONSTANT DIGGING. Causing distraction while driving, and takes an update to trailer brake modules to fix. This is a common issue, and people need compensated for the money they spent to fix something that is not their fault. This constant service reminder does not go away, and causes a distraction while driving, until the issue is fixed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
(1). Entire Electrical failure. Initial investigation revealed Negative Batter Post and Cable extremely Hot. The Truck was operating perfectly and had just sat overnight. This issue was first detected about 1 month prior, when, after a 3 Hour drive, I got and when I returned, there was "Nothing". Disconnected Battery Cables, touched thwm together fo 30+ seconds and everything worked perfect. (2). The first event, I was in the Middle of the Arizona Desert, almost 90 miles from the nearest population. (3), Unable to Intentionally Reconstruct this problem. There was No Check engine light. HOWEVER - in the first event, the Stabili-Trak Light illuminated and had to pull to the side of the road to apparently let it reset. (4). Took it into the Dealer who simply stated "since there was No Check Engine Light, it would be a waste of money, since I had driven it in". They did not take a formal report. (5). Other than the initial issue with the Stabili-Trak light, prior to the first incident, 2/12 Hours later, there were NO advanced warnings. In the 2nd event, the Truck ran perfectly, parked it overnight and when I went to start it in the morning, NOTHING.

Pressing the brakes can cause the trailer brake system alarm to go off. Sometimes it causes the truck to die while I’m driving. Very dangerous. I have seen numerous posts online of the exact problem.

Transmission failure at 60,000 miles. This is unacceptable and is reported to be a huge problem with the transmission on these vehicles. GM should own up to this problem or be made to by the NTHSA. Replacement costs over $4K.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Trailer brake system is continuing to show a service warning on the dash. Noticed the problem when my battery kept draining over night. Then the service trailer brake system light came on and won’t go away. I don’t have any modifications done to the vehicle and I bought it used almost 6 months ago with 80,000 miles. The service light comes on every time you crank the truck. GM service bulletins are reporting that it is a wiring harness that is defective. This should be addressed as a recall. It is unsafe to pull any type of equipment as well is causing my battery to drain over night to where I’m having to jump the truck off just to crank it

SEAT BELTS
The stitching in the loop attaching the front center lap seat belt to the vehicle failed causing the seat belt to detach and become unusable. If this had not been discovered and the vehicle were in an accident with the front center lap seat belt in use, the seat belt would not have provided any protection to the occupant and could have resulted in serious injury or death.
