I have a 2020 with 750 miles and This happened to me they said they couldn’t duplicate it I I took the battery cable off and it rebooted it 

 

Sad to see the 2020 is still having these problems. Also makes me wonder if the dealers throwing parts at the issue are actually doing to resolve it. Curious if everyone waiting weeks and months for said parts could have just pulled the battery cable.

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

Yes. At 2055 miles my brakes failed completely. We tow a travel trailer and thankfully we were not attached at the time. I managed to coast to a safe stop. We had to wait over 3 weeks before a new master cylinder arrived. The tech was confused because there were multiple part numbers for the master cylinder suggesting the manufacturer is tinkering with the design. You're not alone. Use the BING search engine and type "2019 Silverado BPPS master cylinder" and you will see the problem is wide spread. I contacted the NHTSA and submitted a report of the failure. They acknowledged other complaints and are considering an ODI (Operational Defect Investigation). You should do the same. It only takes a few minutes.

How many miles have you put on since the fix?

Got it back yesterday so I would say maybe 20 miles max. Everything seems to be okay for the moment. I'll never feel safe in this truck.

I had my first brake hiccup last night. I was backing out of a parking spot last night and almost hit another parked car because the brakes barely worked. Only issue is that when it happened it doesn't seem to have set a fault code. 

 

Anyone else have brake issues with no fault? I bring the truck in tomorrow and I'm worried I am going to get the "cant duplicate" run around.

I had no lights or codes appear in my dash when it happened to me.  When I first noticed the issue, I turned off my truck and waited about 10 seconds and restarted it and it continued.  I then turned it off and waited 5 minutes and the issue continued.  The next morning everything was working again but I had it towed to the dealer who couldn’t replicate it and they programmed my brake module, said that SHOULD fix it?.
 I read on this thread that after 30 minutes the brakes go back to normal and that has been my experience as well.

I have a 19 AT4 with just under 7k miles. This hasn’t happened to me yet (knock on wood) and I pray to GOD it doesn’t happen. If it does however, is there any sort of emergency brake that can be used? I know we now have the electronic park brake, but I suppose that would be useless in this situation? I miss the simple days of the e-brake pedal you could mash down if needed.

dropped it off at the dealer and when I got there they didn't want to look at it because they brakes were working fine.  I had to plead with them to look at it.

The actuaries at General Motors have determined it’s more economical for you and your family to die in a horrific car crash and settle the lawsuit out of court.  Issuing a recall for their defective systems would cost hundreds of millions and spread across several vehicle product lines.

"Cannot duplicate.  Have a nice day."

Yup pretty much. And they said they cant reset my brake pad wear % because it will default back to 100% and I have 11k for miles on the truck. 

 

They had no concern that my brakes stopped working. What a joke

Welcome to the new GM.  I wonder if Ford and Dodge and Crapota are doing similar things.

Time to try another dealership? 

I would but I know the dealer cant do much with out any error codes. Sucks because now I don't trust the truck when I get in a drive it.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
