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

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.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
