SERVICE BRAKES
I have notice from OnStar for issues with Antilock braking and on the vehicle dash notice for brake assist problems. I have experienced pedal pressure changes at very slow speed where I had to push very hard to stop the vehicle. Search and info from Consumer Reports indicates this is a problem for this model year, however I have not been notified of a recall and none is listed on this web site. I have scheduled service, but I believe this vehicle should be added to the recall.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When connected to a trailer with trailer brakes, the driver information center displays a message check trailer brakes when I apply the brakes. After usually the 3rd brake application the driver information center displays a message. Service trailer brakes. Trailer brakes disengage. Local certified chevy dealer tested the brake components on a computer and verified it is the truck that has issues. They also stated there is no fix at this time. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time. This is very dangerous and the truck should not be driven while towing a trailer. This is a continuous issue and not intermittent.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The reduced power indicator comes on. The code for this has been p2138 and it keeps saying it’s the pedal and I’ve replaced it twice and it seems to still come out. Looking over the internet it seems that this case has been experienced by so many people. GM needs to take responsibility and fix this problem with not only my vehicle but future ones as well. After this experience I’m really not sure I would want to continue purchasing GMs anymore. You need to have a recall on this issue and have it fixed.

Transmission failed on vehicle with less than 27,000 miles. Required total overhaul costing over 4,000 $. No prior symptoms, no check engine light upon failure. This on top of over 5,000 $ of engine overhaul due to lifter failure last year. These are both known, prominent defects of this family of vehicles I unfortunately own.

POWER TRAIN
It started out with the transmission slipping/jerking at about 50 mph. Then as it progressed it began whining. We were barely able to get it to a mechanic to have it looked at. We were told it was the torque converter which caused the transmission to need to be replaced.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I had several issues prior to this incident where certain sensors and features were not operating. The incident occurred while I was driving on the highway, I randomly lost my braking ability and my dash lit of saying my brakes had failed. I then tried to push on the brakes and even push the e brake button and got no response. Fortunately, there was no traffic as I was going 75 mph and could’ve been killed. I had to coast to a stop.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
There are several problems I’ve noticed some I fix myself! First of all, I was driving my truck at night on the country road and all of a sudden it starts losing power shut down on me on a little road with no pull over spots in Kentucky and just dies completely. My service charging system light came on. I worked on this forever. I noticed it. All of my grounds were completely nasty and pretty much not making contact. I fix the ones that I can find only two I know there’s more, I’ve changed the generator three times and the battery once, the problem happened again and again and again the only way I can stop my truck from dying is when that light come on if I got out and I took the negative wire off of my battery and then put it back on it would run again for about another three days and then if I didn’t see it, I’m stranded very dangerous. Finally I took it to my mechanic up the road and he basically did the same things. I did something about a door switch also though not another battery another generator and he added new battery cables so far it hasn’t done it again. Now my truck when starting to slow down, it will vibrate and shake you to death. You hit a little vibration in the road say a rumble strip. This thing will shake you through the roof in about make you run into another Vehicle , also, it’s hard to fill up the gas if you have to turn the gas nozzle almost straight up and down if you’re low on gas to make it except it or you’ll be sitting there for 30 minutes putting gas in your truck. I noticed also all of my wheels are having rough spots on them everywhere and they are rusting into . Another thing that happens this truck eats breaks for breakfast. I have put in the past two years at least have the change the brakes, calipers rotors and all twice a year sometimes three times a year. Also, the trailer brake system light comes on nonstop along with a service stability track on when happen. No Wasey no cruise control. I am a masterelect. Maintain truck it ju

SERVICE BRAKES
I was following a vehicle at 3-4 car lengths at 35 MPH. The vehicle in front made an aggressive stop and although I immediately saw the incident, I could not stop in time with a full panic stop by pressing the brakes hard to the floor. My brakes felt greasy and even though I had enough separation, the truck did not decelerate much. I felt the anti-lock mechanism but it did not seem to slow the vehicle.

POWER TRAIN
Car is having issue since day one I bought it in 2019. Transmission is making a weird noise when shifting. It shakes when car is accelerating and in low RPM around 1.2 to 1.5 especially if car is driven with the load or up the hill. Car is making this stumping noise when car is decelerating like when attempting to stop on traffic light or stop sign, like the engine is going to go out so loud. At the dealership they told me if it’s not doing it constantly it’s normal. I will take it to the dealership this week again, it is really behaving bad lately . Car does have 53 thousand miles on it.
