AIR BAGS
I have called GM several time regarding a remedy for the truck, but they continue to say that a remedy is coming. It has been 3 months and I still have not had my truck repaired, so I cannot drive it due to the recall.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
My truck will start flickering and shuts off jerking the steering wheel out of my hand, then tells me to service stabilitrak. It mostly happens when I am driving (coming to a stop sign/light and/or while turning). Had it taken to two different dealers and they keep telling me it’s a mechanical issue when It seems more electrical.

SERVICE BRAKES
While traveling at low speeds, my brake pedal gets extremely stiff and brake are almost inoperable. When pressed completely down, a grinding noise is heard. It seems as though my vehicle was impacted by the manufacture brake booster defect where NHTSA determined to be a safety recall.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I was towing my 44 foot trailer and I suddenly got an error that the trailer and the braking system was not connected to the truck. Luckily I was not going fast and was able to still stop but I have been driving the truck also when nothing was attached to my vehicle and I get that same morning trailer brake not attached in an error. I have contacted Chevrolet and they say there is nothing wrong there’s no recall on it but if you get online and all the places were the owners of General Motors trucks you will find numerous complaints about this problem they say they cannot duplicate this at the shops. But it continues to happen they say replace this and it still happens replace that and it still happens there’s a major problem somewhere and I imagine there have been accidents due to this error. I think it needs to be looked at from what I can tell it has not been I also had owned a GMC 20 14. 1/2 ton pick up and it had the same problem and I got the same answers. I reported this problem with my 2014 GMC 3-4 yrs ago

SERVICE BRAKES
At low speeds I lose all pressure in my brake pedal and it goes very hard. I have to use every bit of force in my body to stop the car. There is already a recall for this issue with the vacuum pump for my year make and model however my VIN is not part of it. I tried to call General Motors about this and was told I am not part of the recall. When I asked to escalate the issue to someone dealing with the recall so they can be aware that it is affecting more vehicles than they think I was told I can't escalate it and was hung up on.

SERVICE BRAKES
When slowing down vehicle to stop at traffic light or pull in parking space, brakes are failing and feels like vehicle has no brakes..have to press down on brake pedal really hard and as far down as it will go before vehicle will stop. Only happens at these lower speeds such as while trying to park or stop at a traffic light. We have had the brake pads, rotors, calipers, etc checked..everything looks good so this is not the problem. There were no warning lamps or messages associated with this problem..it has happened the last 2 times we have driven the vehicle..we are not driving it anymore at the moment until we figure out was is going on. Afraid we will hit something or someone else if we cannot get the vehicle stopped in time. Looking online seems there were several recalls for this problem for this vehicle but I never received a notice for it..possibly a bad vacuum pump or ABS defect? Needs to be reset or something..Please advise. Thank you.

wiring harness for vehicle is poorly design and is sitting next to hot engine block where the wires are melted and caused a short in the whole entire vehicle, all system is shut down when overheated, this means while traveling at any speed everything goes dead which is considered a highly unsafe situation.
