Then l took my truck back for an oil change a few months later and they said that there is a open recall on the brake module (NEWER UPDATE) which once again caused my brake issues again with the newer recall. l have opened up a complaint with GM and they say take it to a GM dealer. The dealer checks the truck out and says there is no problem with the truck. They tell me that l need to install a module on my trailer ,which l did early on with the problem. l did own a 2017 chevy and pulled that trailer with NO issues. The trailer dealer hooked the trailer to a 2018 GMC and a 2016 Dodge pick-up. And had NO problem with the trailer brakes and put a NYS inspection sticker on my trailer LAST MONTH. We !! the trailer dealer and myself have spoken to the company ( brake module) that GM says that l need.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The brakes on this vehicle are very spongy, they have to be pushed all the way to the floor to get the vehicle to stop. When pulling a trailer you are on pins and needles wondering if you can get the truck to stop. The trailer brakes are doing most of the stopping. I have owned many trucks and the brakes on this 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 are the worst that I have ever experienced. This is a Safety hazard with serious implications. I have talked to many other people with the same truck and they also claim that the brake system is faulty and/or sub standard. I have taken my truck back to the dealer and they claim that the brakes are working normal (test driving around their service lot). This is a serious problem that needs to be investigated by your orginazation. Thank you in advance for any insight on this serious brake issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

After replacement of the trailer brake controller for the well known issue of the new OEM trailer brake controller disconnecting from the trailer brakes, the issue still persists. The trailer brake controller should remain connected to the trailer brakes at all times instead of disconnecting under its own control and programming. It is a major safety issue to be trailering a 21,000lb trailer with 6 functional disk brakes and have the controller decide to disconnect at seemingly random times to include descending a mountain pass at highway speeds.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

While traveling with a 5th wheel camper (Grand Design), that has solar panels the brake controller stops providing a connection to the trailer brakes. This is a know problem of the 2024 Chevrolets and so far there is not a fix that I know of. This is a big big safety issue because the trailer is heavy and hard to stop. The documentation from Chevrolet states the issue is once the battery charges and has a higher voltage than the truck battery it will surge the system and deactivate the braking system on the camper. This also hold true when the camper battery is too low, again the truck battery will surge the system and deactivate the braking system on the camper.
