UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Service Trailer Brake Message with DTC C159C; Upon attaching my RV trailer, the trailer connected to the integrated systems as expected. Went though light inspections. I adjusted trailer brake gain. Upon first drive the message: Trailer Brakes Disabled Service Required. Took vehicle to dealership. They found #PIT5948A from Oct 6th, 2022 stating that engineers are aware of issue for all models using this integrated trailer brake. This is an Urgent issue and critical for those pulling trailers with brakes. This is very dangerous to have trailer brakes disabled when pulling heavy trailers can can result in serious accidents and should be addressed immediately. I've also not seen any communications on this from GM.

At about 62,000 miles the vehicle check engine light came on with codes P0700 and P0741, the RPMs go up as you accelerate but will not shift unless you let off the gas pedal. Reaching 5-6000 RPMs. Had mechanic drop transmission pan no metal found. Reading several TSBs on this issue the transmission should be recalled. Also when towing camper there was some electrical issues when the trailer was contacted the truck would not recognize trailer connected, had to shut the truck off for few minutes and restart to recognize the connection. Truck also lost power when trailer was connected and ran very sluggish, also experienced the shifting issues.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes made grinding noises due to the brake pads rubbing on the rotors. The contact added oil to the brake pads; however, the failure recurred. The contact replaced five hubs, two rotors, four calipers, and two brake lines. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with vacuum pump failure and the vacuum pump was replaced. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to Jim Butler Linn Chevrolet Service (317 Main St, Linn, MO 65051) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty, and the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to replace the faulty parts with OEM parts. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000. The consumer had an accident due to brakes locking up and not able to get the transmission fixed.

Truck only having 30,000 miles and garage kept has considerable rusting on frame memebers as well as cross members on the frame.. There is no paint on the frame or cross memebers just a wildly flaking black wax coating. After two years when in for service the dealer stated that this was "Normal" for this model. Two shops that have inspected the frame are conserned about the amount of rust and any towning I may do in the future. At this point I only tow a small ATV trailer during the summer months.

I was driving on an unpaved maintained road at night and heard a loud bang and bright flash came to a stop and realized I couldn't see out of the door windows. The side curtain bags deployed. I took it into rich ford no damage was found to any sensors or to the truck. Noone wants to replace the bags or damaged interior and insurance won't file a claim due to no damage to truck.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I was involved in a 3 car accident where I was stopped and rear ended into another vehicle in front of me. My car experienced severe damage which led to multiple minor injuries and a concussion because the airbags were not deployed. Because they were not deployed, I aggressively hit my head on the steering wheel and dash area of my vehicle. I had my seatbelt own but because of the airbag not deploying, I experienced multiple injuries. The vehicle that rear ended me was going 40-50 mph when they collided and pushed me into the truck stopped in front of me. I did receive an alert right when this happened from my application on my phone stating “Issue with Airbag system. Schedule Service Now” meaning that the airbag was not able to deploy when it was supposed to do so. The police, ambulance staff and witnesses all did not understand why the airbags did not deploy considering how hard the collision was. As a result of the airbag not deploying both my wife and I have injuries to our head and neck and and multiple areas of our body.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The " service trailer brake system" light has been coming on for about 3 yrs in my truck. I have asked the dealer about this, and all I hear is it will cost me about $200 just to find out what is causing this. I was also told I could clear this just by pressing the dismiss button, which I have been doing. I don't feel this is the way to fix the problem. Since I do a lot of towing, I feel this is putting both mine and other lives in danger, since I don't know if my brakes are going to work or fail. I have recently discovered that this is a very common defect in this vehicle and is due to a faulty wire harness, which could fail at any time and cause a brake failure. I am truly afraid to operate this vehicle, and feel ALL 2017 silverado's should be recalled, and this faulty wire harness replaced, before people die.
