Description of the problem | I have had the 2019 sierra 1500 at4 with 6. 2 liter engine in the shop (8) times since purchasing it in late aug 2019 for multiple issues, including the issues relating to the brake software recall. This resulted in me rolling through a stop sign without any brakes. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic. As an engineer, i have no confidence that the issue has been fixed long term by gm. My family will no longer ride in the truck with me. As a result, i have retained an attorney for the purpose of filing suit against gm for selling me an unsafe lemon. Even further concerning is the fact that on (2) occasions the parking brake has engaged while driving down the highway at 55 mph. One time while in 4wd in snow, and the other time while in 2wd on dry pavement. The first time there was a diagnostic code associated with the parking brake engaging randomly. The second time, there was no diagnostic code present. The first issue with braking began 11/14/2019, and the most recent issue occurred on 2/2/2020 even after all recall "fixes" have been applied. *js |
