This was on smooth roads, stopping at 5 different lights/stops on my way back, having to start stopping well in advance, like I was towing a small house behind me.

Picked up a 2019 trail boss last Friday. Always had Tacomas in the past and this is my first Chevrolet. I had to hit the brakes hard for a light on icy roads and the truck stopped like a champ. But....  Then ECU error, ABS error, and Stabilitrak error. On Star emails and lit up dash. 
The power brakes stopped working and had a top speed limit.
The dealership is replacing the brake Master cylinder. And says the active grill shudders have faults and GM had no solution yet. I see I'm not the only one. Hope they get this fixed soon.

Make sure you've got the latest update V509. if you picked up from the available dealer's inventory, you might end up to buy a truck built before late October. A lot of updates came after that time for the similar issues.

Just wondering if they came up with a fix for this issue yet...I see everyone  talking about it but has it been fixed

 

I believe there is a recall for reprogramming the eboost. You should call the dealer.

I had an issue we're I step on the brake, put the truck in drive and even before I released the brake the vehicle starts moving forward. I quickly mashed the pedal further down, and it felt like there was no pressure in the brake, it just went to the floor. 19 LT TB.

Ensure the following update has been completed. The Integrated Brake Controller might need to be looked at also.

Service Update N192210460 Eboost Control Module Software False Detection with DTC Association Brake System Module Reprogramming 3/15/2019

Hey guys.  Picked up my 2019 Sierra AT4. I drove it off the lot, got about 3 miles. Stopped to get myself a cup of coffee. Got back into the truck, started it and the check engine light came on, the brake system failure, the abs light, traction control etc. Called the dealer and was told to bring it back. (Mind you, I've only actually owned the 63k truck for an hour)  I bring the truck back, they take it in for about 20 mins and then the mechanic takes the car for a test drive. He's gonna about 15 minutes or so, comes back and says the truck is good. They fixed a recall recently but never "reset the computer" he says "you're good to go"  I drive the 30 minutes home, pull up to the house, turn the truck off. Go inside to get my little ones because they want to go for a ride in daddy's new truck.. We go outside, I start the truck, and it's the same thing. I'm so beyond annoyed right now. Were supposed to go away for the weekend and dont feel at all comfortable driving this with my 3 little ones in the back, even if they say they've fixed it!!  GOD FORBID IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY!!  Has anyone had luck with a solution for this?!?!  Should I demand a different truck?!?! (Not that they would give me a new truck, as the law is in their side)

Immediately contact Attorney at coreywatson dot com.

 

There is a Federal ClassAction in Texas, and one in California over the chinese brake vacuum pump failing on 2014-2016 trucks.

 

You give them proof newer than 2016 has the same vacuum pump problem..THE SHOW will be epic.

 

You must also complain to NHTSA as there is also a Federal Investigation...and Warren Buffett is pizzd he’s losing his keister with Geico crash claims on these trucks.

Texas, dont know who his lawyer is...but Texas Court will fold for GM:

Both suing for full buy back.

a week after getting the truck back after the dealer "fixed the issue" it's back at the dealer AGAIN, for the EXACT same issue....  I traded in my F150 for this truck.....I just want my F150 back!!!!!!!

I've already been in touch with an attorney, lets see how this goes...

Hind site is 20-20, but damm you should have returned the truck the same day. You have 72 hrs to back out of a contract.

that's not true. Once you drive off the lot, it's yours....

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
