Description of the problem | On june 16th 2019 i drove down to atlanta, ga for a baseball game. Midway i stopped for gas. When i turned back on the truck, i realized that i had lost a and if i get an amount of my braking ability. However, i had no lights on mu dash to indicate a failure to the braking system. I read on a gm forum that other owners experienced the problem, turned off the vehicle for 30 mins, turned back on the vehicle and the brakes worked again. They, however, had lights indicating a brake failure. I followed the forums suggestions and after 30 mins with my truck off, i drove the truck again and had no further issues. I took the vehicle into the service department, but as i expected they could not replicate the issue. I wanted to start a paper trail though incase the issue reoccurred. On july 10th the same braking issue occurred again. This time i was near my dealership in greenville, sc. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they were able to confirm a loss of over 50% of braking but no lights or check engine code (past or present) indicating a brake failure. I am very concerned and believe this truck is unsafe because of the braking issues and lack of confirmation of service lights on the truck dash. It is a death trap. They are not able to confirm a fix either due to not having a service error code to fix and turn off. Vehicle was in motion when issues occurred both times. On both occasion as, serious car accidents almost happened due to lack of braking ability. |
