Good because at this rate I will be at 0% around 8K miles

Seriously! The strange part is it says it effects all 2019 Silverados and Sierras, but the loaner truck I had had 5x the milage of mine, and had 96% front and 98% rear.

My front pad meter got to 14% at like 8k miles, and has stopped there.  The rear pad meter still keeps dropping, it's like 28% now.  I have 10,000 miles on the truck.

 

Thanks for posting this.  Now I can show the dealer so they can notate the issue, and not have them poking around screwing up anything that doesn't need to be messed with.

Just had the truck serviced and mentioned how the pad life is incorrect.  They claim GM is aware of the issue but no remedy is available yet.

Dealer told me it was a computer glitch Mines 60% on the front with 3800 miles. Still had them pull the wheels and check the brakes. BTW brakes are fine

Same here, 3003 kilometres  not miles ,

going to dealership tomorrow for ABS issue will ask to look at that  as well.

Took mine into the dealer a few weeks ago, they told me the same thing, GM is aware and their engineers are working on a software solution. No ETA.

Add me to this list although I am only about 300 miles in and saw 94/96 which was alarming already.

 

Feel better though not being alone with it and that it's a bug across all.

I'm in the same boat, I'm at about 4,600 miles.

 

Front - 43%

Rear -  65%

Dealer said they updated the software today for the brake wear indicator issue but they didn’t reset the percentage meter, I guess I’ll do that tomorrow and keep an eye on it.

Condition	Some customers may notice a quick drop in the brake pad life % shown on the DIC, which may not be reflective to the actual pad wear.
Cause	This concern could be cause by a software anomaly.

Correction

Engineering has released new Brake System Control Module (BSCM) software to correct this concern.

• If the vehicle has less than 6000 miles, then reset the brake pad life monitoring system to 100% in the DIC.

• If the vehicle has more than 6000 miles, do not reset the brake pad life monitoring system.

So do we have to go to the dealer to get the software update?

Almost certainly, yes.

 

I am going tomorrow for something else, will report back what they say.

Yes, it can’t be done over the air. Every update that’s not infotainment related has to be done by the dealer.

2019 GMC Sierra SLT 4x4 with 2000 miles. 25% worn on front brakes.

I dropped my AT4 off at the dealer this morning for an intermittent code being thrown P3506.  They spent all day on it and can't figure out why it comes and goes.  They still have it and didn't look at the brakes yet.

 

Also had the passenger side mirror chattering when I switch it to reverse instead of turning down and stopping.  Apparently they think they need to replace the entire mirror for this behavior and GM is dodgy approving these...I'm sure it'll get fixed but the damn thing has 400 miles on it.  If it has to get replaced, GM is replacing it.

 

Anyway, no progress on the brake life issue for me yet.  Maybe tomorrow.
