Not sure how to merge other feeds of the same topic, but I thought I would at least put the link to another feed I am following on here about this same issue.

 

What can we do from a legal perspective?  Can we demand GM/Chevy purchase these vehicles back from us so we can start over with a new truck?

You've documented on a public forum that your truck has brake issues and continue to drive it hoping maybe it won't happen again.   If it were my truck it would be at the dealer to be fixed

To those saying they're interested in a class action; I'll make some calls over the next day or so. Depending on that goes I may start a thread or ask you to DM me with contact information.

One of the questions I'd ask a lawyer. Basically, if you're like me, GM's recall has created intermittent braking and destroyed my collision mitigation system. Nice combination!

Glad I haven’t taken mine in yet (i started the 2 new recall thread), purchased 1/19 19k miles currently no brake or cel issues. Still waiting for the “real fix” to be released, btw i never have used the app on this truck.

Exactly the same happened last Friday, on Wednesday dealer did a Brake recall and Friday lost like 95% of my brakes, it took about 300ft to stop it, I almost crash with family in car. Saturday called the dealer, i call Chevrolet Road Assist and tow it there, today they called me and tell me they contact Chevrolet Support and no parts were required so how do they fixed? its a software issue? do they deleted the last software update and restore the previous revision? I often tow my 9K lbs RV, can't imagine what will occur if that happens while towing my RV.  after reading all the posts about the vacuum pump and master cylinders issues i don't know what challenges should i do now against GM or the dealer.

 

Any advice will be much appreciated, i don't trust my car!

I'm not a lawyer and don't claim to be so do not accept this as legal advice..Based on my research for the state of MD Lemon Law, the  manufacturer has 1 attempt to fix a brake or steering related issue. The consumer must send a written letter via certified mail to the manufacturer stating the problem and setting expectations including all service tickets. After opening a case with GM when I got my truck back on 1/9/2020 where my dealer replaced the brake control module I asked for the address and sent the letter proactively. At minimum I am going to request GM to extend the warranty on the vehicle. Research your local lemon law, Most states do not require an attorney.

I also had a total brake system failure this morning while driving in rush-hour traffic. Not sue how I didn't run into anyone or made it safely, but someone was watching out. Upon talking to the service rep and mechanic at my dealer, both openly stated it was a known issue that they do not have a permanent fix for and sometimes the software updates and sometimes it doesn't! Couldn't believe that stated that out-loud! There has to be some kind of legal action to GM knowingly sending us out to drive a vehicle that may or may not have brakes! This cannot be brushed under the rug as a "recall". Lemon laws make it almost impossible to claim a vehicle a "lemon" and in this case where the issue has life and death ramifications, one should not have to go in 4 times (Nebraska law) to call it a "lemon". I've actually had brake issues 3 times now! Entirely unreasonable.

Mine did this a couple of nights ago. Had very little for brakes till I got home, about 4 miles. Next morning everything seemed fine except check engine light was on. That evening when I got off work the check engine light was no longer on. Was also  showing service trailer brake system and service ESC. Going to dealer tomorrow afternoon.

So "happy" to learn I'm not the only one. Same thing happened here, 2019 1500 LT. Dropping off at dealer tonight.

There are trucks that experienced brake loss indication before any recalls and had the master cylinder, brake booster and brake control module replaced. Most of those vehicles were fix while a few were not.

I was one of these, brakes failing, 4 times and still wasn't fixed,  brakes sounding like a wounded elephant when backing out of garage plus infotainment screen issues. Got tired of all the crap, traded the POS for a 2020 with the 3.0 duramax. Happy so far?

Got in the truck to come home from work and CEL on start up. Took it to the dealer and took home a loaner. Got a call that it has to do with the brake update again. This is beyond absurd.

What the hell is up with that wounded elephant sound !!!! Mine started that about a week ago and it freaked me out! Only when backing up and it’s loud as shit! 3100 miles 5 months old.

Dealer never did figure it out, changed both back rotors, calipers and brake pads right at the start, seemed to get better then came back worse than ever, even started doing it to a lesser degree when first taking off in forward. Definitely  worse when cold. Was at 21,000 mi when I traded and it was still making the noise.

Question for those of you who are on your second or more return to dealer to fix...  I know in some cases, the dealer is just keeping your truck while they wait for a fix.  Others are claiming they have it fixed and giving it back for the same issues to pop up.
 
What is your plan for the long term?  I ask because im taking mine in tomorrow for the 2nd time.  I know that they are going to clear the CEL and say they did this that or the other to fix it, claim its good to go, and its not going to work.  Do I just keep playing the back and forth game with the dealership and hope for the best?


My dealer offered me a loaner. I’m not going back until this is confirmed fixed. Sick of it.

I also have opened a case with GM - spoke to them today and they acted like they have never heard of this issue.

Dealer called me today and said that GM has told them there is a possible fix coming Jan.17th. After all this I am doubtful.

I’m in Canada so not sure if that changes things.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
