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

Just had the truck back again- this time, the camera goes on the screen each time you come to a complete stop. How annoying is that?

Wow, that’s a new one. GM finally issues me a rental, 2500 Heavy Duty Ram

Sounds like one of your sensors are causing the camera to come on.

Had the brake issue for over 2 months now ever since it got cold. Doesn't happen always but my engine light has been on for weeks from the several brake failures. Also it is not just a single ignition cycle I have had to retry starting the truck over 3 or 4 times to clear it after waiting 20 mins. 

 

2019 Trailboss LT, took it in early Jan had all the recalls fixed, alternator cable, catching fire issue and supposedly the brake fix flashing ECMB? Something like that. Anyway by mid Jan was -15 degrees and boom brakes go out before work. Then every other day or sometimes 3 days between. Now it has been week and a half since they failed but has been warmer. Check Engine light has been on for a month now, brand new truck engine light on it tickles the OCD part of my brain seeing it everyday. Will cross my fingers on this yet again time consuming process. Oh and can not get into dealer until March 10th .

I would contact GM and have them start the investigation into it, get a rental that GM pays for and be safe.

I just had the newest one done yesterday -the update to fix the fix for the fix for the recalls.  So far 36hrs and no problems!

Have you used the myGMC app to remote start your truck with no issues?

Nope, not throwing money at Onstar to use their app but would if it was free like it used to be.  Going on 9 days now without issues!

Well I have joined the crowd with Brake issues. Just purchased 2020 Trail Boss LT yesterday and left it at the Dealer yesterday. Have Service Brake Assist and Engine light. Drove back to dealer and they said they forgot to reset fault after software load, good to go. I also drove the truck 40 miles before warning came on. So forgetting to reset fault is BS. Well I made it 2 1/2 mile and the warning returned , back to Dealer and they gave me another new truck as a loaner it has acted good so far. No news today from Dealer.

GM needs to fess up and fix these issues!!!!

 

The waiting game begins.

I have a theory on the brake issue. I had a eerily similar problem recently happen to me on my 2009 Tahoe and I ended up having to self diagnose it as the dealership guys have no clue what to do except start replacing uber expensive parts. Believe me if it is on your dime (out of warranty coverage vehicle) they will be happy to spend thousands in just a few hours and NEVER EVER actually pinpoint the real issue. It will be fixed but you will be bankrupt in the process. GM will NOT allow the dealerships to do this to them no more than I would allow it myself, so they are still searching to find the root cause and it seems to be putting a lot of people in true jeopardy from having insufficient brakes while they fumble along doing part restriction until they find a root cause and a economical way to do the repair. 

Here is my Theory: Issue is the ABS assembly underneath all modern vehicles, it has an exterior mounted control module with electric solenoids. The  control module to valve body gasket is bad which allows water to get inside and onto the solenoids. If you read back through the posts you will see numerous people mention automatic car washes. These car washes are forcing water at the ABS assembly and the leaking seal is simply allowing water into the control module and shorting it out.  Usually happens shortly after driving though large puddles / fording deep water or going through your friendly neighborhood car wash.

 

GM could easily replace all these ABS assemblies as a whole but the cost would bankrupt them so it is a self preservation move to stall until they pinpoint the issue. Once they figure out the exact problem is just a 300 dollar control module they will replace the individual part and add a better 100% seal gasket and everyone can motor on safely. In the meantime all these vehicles should be parked NO JOKE!  Here are some pics of a typical control module that has leaked. 

Once the water shorts it out you loose Power Boost / Stabiltrak and ABS functions until it dries out a bit but eventually it will not be able to reset at all.  

Note to GM corporate: just direct deposit the 10 million that I just saved you

Thanks!  Went ahead and received all of the recalls. Have used remote start (app and key) multiple times with no issues.

I just got the brake warnings and check engine when i started the truck. Turned off and restarted and the brake stuff went away, but my check engine light is still on. Ive never used the app to start, only used the key fob remote start once a while back just to see if it worked.  So its not just the trucks using the app that have the problem.

Looks like the ABS assembly is under the brake fluid reservoir.

Was scrolling through the infotainment system and noticed this recall info in the MyGMC area. On the previous screen it had a date of Jan 30th 2020

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      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
