Has anyone actually found a fix to this problem? This just happened to me last Saturday night. Luckily the messages came up at start and I found out I had barely any brakes at 10mph in a parking lot and not on the hwy home! Took me probably 5 feet to stop going 10mph! Towed it to the dealership. The dealership is being told by GM that it is a voltage issue. Everything on the truck checked out fine but now I am scared to death to put my kids in it. The dealership now has it until after Christmas.

This happened to me this weekend but also had a Brake System Failure message and the brakes barely worked. Thankfully I was sitting in a Starbuck's drive thru before heading on a 3 hour road trip so I

Do everyone a favor and go to NHTSA and report it as a safety issue. Once they get a bunch of complaints that is how recalls get started. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I did notice a recall recently for mine in the my gmc app, someone already started a post about it so link is here (N192268090).  Maybe it's related to these issues identified here.

 

Certainly looks like that is the same problem! Now to see if that is actually what my dealership did today. The only thing mentioned to me was a voltage issue. They checked my battery and the cable that the problem was supposed to be in and found no issues. Certainly doesn't give me a feeling of comfort when the brakes are what is at stake! I will ask them specifically if they addressed this recall! Thank you so much!

 

Update!!! The recall was performed the Tuesday BEFORE the brakes failed. Well at least I had my hopes up for a minute!

There is no reason why today’s electronics heavy vehicles can’t record every instance an indicator lights up on the instrument cluster signaling a malfunction/fault.

 

GM simply chooses to not incorporate this logic into their software.  It’s more economical for GM to simply tell you, “sorry, unable to duplicate”

My husband is the Service Manager at a Chevy Dealership and was unaware of this issue until it happened yesterday (Dec. 28th) twice while en route with travel trailer and children on our 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country.  1st occurrence triggered service ESC, trailer brake, brake pad monitor, traction control, ABS, power steering reduced, engine power reduced.  Limped to Chevy dealership after calling Onstar to try to find info.  Dealership showed open recall from Dec. 19th.  They completed recall and could not determine any other cause of failure.  We headed out with trailer.  Happened again 60 miles in.  All messages including speed limited to 62 mph.  Managed to safely stop at a place outside Atlanta.  Towed truck and trailer with AAA as GM offered no assistance.  We did not advise that he is a service manager as to not receive special treatment.  Told a senior advisor would get back to us in 2 business days which may be Thursday as they could not confirm whether Dec 31 is a holiday.  It was above the supervisor’s pay grade.  We’ll update after we hear from the dealership in TN where the truck and trailer were towed.  Prior to reading this thread, he was stating he thinks the problem will be in the electronic brake module, engine module or a bad connection with a wire in a harness. Stay tuned and we all may finally find a fix. He did say that due to the computers being networked, that multiple issues could result in all the same warning lights coming on.  Stay tuned!

Sounds like the same thing that was happening with mine. Been 4000kms since the ecm was replaced. Hasn’t missed a beat yet. They replace the foot pedal the first time, made 100kms and all the lights came back on.

Farrah this is exactly complete with all the same indications that I had happen to my 2019 Sierra back in the spring. I attempted to drive it about a mile to get to a location where I could park it. It has not done it since!

This problem Is very widespread throughout the forums if only GMC would review. Unfortunately i am afraid it is going to get someone killed due primarily the near complete brake failure. I filed a complaint explaining everything in detail to the NHTSA and they responded with additional questions but from reading the forums the problem continues.

I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado Custom, drove to work and before arriving service light came on (Service ESC) and after that another light notification popped up, (engine power reduced). The max speed is 40 mph. I got to work and restarted it and same thing. Went to work and referred to the owners manual, shut the engine off, waited 15 seconds, started the truck.....warning lights did not go away. Truck has less than 1000 miles on it. Waiting to hear back from the dealership.

Just had this happen to me.  Truck was running just fine, went into the store for 30 min, when I started driving my dash lit up.   Service ESC, Service Parking Brake and Check engine light were flashing.  I also had an issue where any time I accelerated the truck would shake.  Limped to the dealership to be told it was throwing multiple codes.  Multiple cylinders were not firing, an electronic relay issue as well as the obvious lights on the dash.  Dealer said they cant get to it until Monday.  Side note- truck was in the shop a week ago getting the brake module recall fixed.   Will post once I hear back.

Please do. This is identical to the issue I've had. It has gotten less often as I've put mileage on the truck. When I first bought it in early December it was happening nearly every time I got in it after a brief stop. Now it has only happened 1-2 times in the last 2 weeks or so. Nearly every time it has happened simply turning it off and back on has completely resolved the issue. I haven't had time to go to the dealer and don't want them running recall fixes and end up losing my brakes and breaking other things.  ? This is my first experience with GM and it's absolutely ridiculous to be having these sorts of software issues on a previous year model truck that cost over 50k. A real shame, because I love the truck otherwise.

Had the same issues with esc and brake failure. The dealership is saying it was caused by me using the MyChevrolet app to start the truck. 

If you had the recalls performed, starting the vehicle with the MyApp is probably the cause. Do not use the App until GM comes up with a fix and you will probably hear it here first before the dealer tells you.

I bought the truck about 2 weeks ago and I was told all of the recalls have been done. I won’t be using the app to start my truck any time soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Was your truck running fine BEFORE they did the brake recall?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
