2017 Chevrolet Silverado

TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH. THIS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE INOPERABLE UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS PART MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH A REPROGRAMMING ISSUE THAT WAS ON ANOTHER RECALL. CUSTOMER IS BURDENED WITH REPAIR COSTS AND THE MODULE IS IN HIGH DEMAND AS PART OF A 'NATIONAL RECALL'. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 6 WEEKS FOR THE BACK ORDERED PART. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DELAYED AS RESULT OF A LABOR STRIKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE.

MY 2017 SILVERADO IS EXPERIENCING A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2019 FOR THE RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE WHERE THEY REPROGRAM THE BRAKING UNIT. I HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR THAT RECALL JUST AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE BUT NOW 4 MONTHS LATER I HAVE A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAD NOT HAD A BRAKING ISSUE UNTIL NOW. WHEN IT ACTS UP THE PEDAL IS SO HARD IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE TRUCK. IT SEEMS TO HAVE A HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I'M GOING SLOW AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC OR PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES OFF AND ON WHILE DOING SO.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS THE DASHLIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL TURN TO DAYLIGHT MODE WHICH THEN MAKES THE TRUCK HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF (WHEN IN AUTO MOD) AND THE NAVIGATION SCREEN IS TOO BRIGHT AND DISTRACTS YOU WHEN DRIVING. THE DASH LIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH BETWEEN DAYTIME AND NIGHT TIME MODE WHEN DRIVING.

THIS COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE BRAKE RECALL COMING FROM GM. I DID TAKE THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED. I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE SYSTEM. WHILE IN PARKING LOT GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT PLACED THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND DURING THE PROCESS OF PULLING BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL IT WAS VERY STIFF, IT ACTUALLY SEEMED AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHING BACK AT MY FOOT AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED TO. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME ALLOWING FOR THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS. THIS AT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 73,500 MILES. I DID NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE VACUUM BRAKE PUMP FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.
