ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM APPEAR ON THE DIC AND THERE IS THE LOSS OF ALL TRAILER BRAKES FUNCTION, WHICH DETERS THE VEHICLES STOPPING ABILITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, RURAL HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS. AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE SYSTEM MUST RESET AND RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. NOTICED WHEN GOING TO CHEVROLET FORUMS ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, FOUND THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED A RECALL BULLETIN #14514B DATED JANUARY 2015 ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE, BUT WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND WILL NOT REPAIR. CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER SERVICE BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME AND THAT MY VEHICLE BY IT'S VIN WAS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU AS I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO FATAL OR SERIOUS INJURY ON THE ROADWAYS.
