Thankfully my brakes have been fine. And no warning lights. ( knock on wood)

  No recalls performed ever even tho I’ve gotten notices in the mail.   From reading all this crap about no stopping power and no brakes at all, it got me somewhat worried.  I tried pressing e-brake button at 35 mph going down my street in the snow.  Did this three times.  All times the brake clunked and rear tires pretty much locked up and I skidded to a stop.  It’s less than ideal to have to do this, but in an emergency it will work. Also a friend of mine tried same thing and his also worked.   Sad to hear of this crap with these new trucks.  I am a Chevy truck owner and always have been.   But I may Take a hard look at Toyota when the time comes in two years to dump my trail boss.  Not saying Toyota is perfect, but damn GM this sh*t is getting ridiculous with all these issues.  Good luck to all you

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

I was a Toyota man for 20 years until 2 months ago.  Never had an issue.  Hope I don’t end up regretting this change.

There seems to be a lot of us 10+ year Toyota owners with the same experience and the same feelings. 

 

You would think GM would want to take advantage and really try to win over 'yota owners once they bought their product...

You are wasting your time. lemon law it. Final repair notice is going to do shit. I won my lemon law case within 3 months. 

Final repair notice is required when sending the certified letter to GM if you are going thru the BBB. The "final repair attempt" itself doesn't make a hill of beans on wether you win or loose the case but BBB will not go forward with the claim without this letter being sent.

google a lemon law attorney if your state. They take the cases for free and get paid by Gm at the end.  All you need to get the ball rolling is a phone call. Right off the bat they will tell you if its worth it to peruse. Lemon laws are pretty cut and dry.  I didn't do a damn thing but email all my repair orders to them and my purchase agreement. 3 months later I got a huge check. Traded in the truck and now drive another brand. 

A lawyer is not required. Just finishing up with mine with no lawyer.

My lawyer was free. Gm paid the attorney costs. Why do it yourself. Let an attorney maximize what's owed to you.

In this day and age yes.  There are still a few companies out there (probably not any automotive) that still have values and are customer oriented but now a days it's.. "we'll just wait and see what they do."

Im so disappointed  in this generation it still has so many flaws, alot more from the previous.  This is the first gen where GM has put on 4 piston calipers on a all new platform, was supposed to  be my next truck, but just cant do it.

They will just tell you.. "Unable to duplicate, sorry."  But get it logged anyway. 

There is now a recall for this issue, just received my letter. I had the same issue.

I just received a recall notice for this issue. I had the same thing happen with the same message. I was told that the fix will be a reprogram of the brake system, estimated 30 minute repair time.

Anyone still experiencing issues? My third brake failure was on 2/24/20 2 hours after picking the vehicle up from the dealership for the most recent fix. GM had stated that a recall was not reason to purchase the truck back. I agreed that a recall was not but the fact that I was on my third brake failure as well as the dealership experiencing one should definitely warrant a buy back if they were truly concerned about their customer safety as well as the safety of everyone else on the road. The dealership finally agreed to an MSRP swap or trade in value of what I purchased the vehicle for on a vehicle off one of their Ford or Ram lots since GM was of no assistance. For times sake, I agreed to a 2020 and I truly hope I don't regret it. I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette. They will take the vehicle back in full if I have a brake failure before it's titled so I'm going to drive the hell out of this thing for the next 2 weeks.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
