I didnt have any issues with mine after having the recall done. I also never used the app to start the truck either. I'm afraid to even try using the app in case it causes me to lose my brakes ( I have been using the key fob alot though). I wonder if gm will let everyone know that there is a software update available to fix the issues that some are having after the recall or if it only applies to those that have had the lost brakes issue.

Update: Still no return of the braking issue since the latest fix (and I've been intentionally using the app a ton to test it). But, oddly, tonight the camera functionality suddenly returned: intellibeam, lane keep and collision monitoring all returned and worked appropriately. Not just once but across multiple ignition cycles. The really odd thing is I still have to clear the error message in the DIC about reduced collision assist functionality, even though the camera appears to be working again. I can only guess the latest TSB cleared up the error not only with the brakes but also with the camera?

Were you having problems with the camera after the recent recalls ie 192268090 and 192275630? If so, did the dealership place the camera in relearn to get you safety features working again? So you did the PIT5728B update and everything seems to be working with the remote app and the camera is working except you must reset an error message of "Reduced Collision Assist", correct? I wonder if this is a new problem arising or the front camera just needs to calibrate more until full functionality is restored.

Yeah, the dealer had the truck for 2 days and repeatedly put it in relearn and tried to fix it. They ultimately ordered me a new camera (on backorder) and have been waiting for the new one ever since Dec. 30th. That's when the braking issues popped up as well. with the PIT5728B all of a sudden the camera has started working again - with the error message you mention - but all functionality back. No idea if the timing of the newest update is just a correlation or not.

Thank you for keeping us updated. Fingers crossed that this is the final fix.

I’m going to wait a couple more days before getting the fix done. Last fix they had for me lasted nine days starting with the app almost every start up.

Well, I wish I would of read all of this before last week.  I took my truck in for it's first free oil change (which was hard enough for me to let them do).  I knew it had the seat belt pretensioner carpet fire recall and the one for the indicator light for ESC.  They informed me when I was there, there was another one for the front mounted camera, which I had them do.  On my way home, I noticed that the lane departure warning system wasn't working, nor could I shut if off by the switch.  I called them and brought it back. The mechanic said he had done 3 of these recalls, and had issues with all 3 of them.  He ended up doing a 2 hour update on the video controller.  Driving it home, it all seems to work fine.  So I'm guessing, from reading all of this, I should expect the brake failure?  (I never start it from my app, as my 1 month onstar trial has ended - but I do remote start with the fob).  I have only started it twice since I got it back.  I need to haul a horse next weekend.  I hadn't planned on driving it between now and then, but maybe I should.  I haven't looked at the brake bad wear either.  I don't recall seeing that on any of the recalls, nor the alternator cable.  Crazy.  My truck only has 1900 miles on it.

Take it back and get the TSB5728B done which takes care of the remote start via Onstar [causing brake failure]. There is a TSB to correct the readout calibration of the brake pads. If your wear seems high like 70% at 1900 miles, get it done. You should be at around 90 to 95 % wear with about 2000 miles with heavy braking. The Alternator cable is a recall that should be performed also if not done.

Thank you, Richard.  I haven't looked at the readout on my brake pads since it was new.  I'll have to check that.  I don't use the remote start via OnStar, as I don't have the service.  I do use the keyfob remote start.  I appreciate the info.  There seems to be some people that have the issue with the keyfob start as well, am I correct?

You are correct with the FOB, fewer have the brake loss problem than those that use the Remote App. There might be some type of an electrical characteristic that is set off with the starting of the vehicle that causes a malfunction in the Brake system. TSB 5728B was created to counter the Remote App starting phenomenon. Maybe it takes care of those little electrons running amuck, who knows.

I am new to the forum, i just ordered a 2020 Sierra Denali, i am starting to wonder if i should wait due to all these issues. I am on call a lot for a medical center and i need a truck to just run without problems. I have a 2018 Camaro ZL1 and have had no issues at all, great car. That had an influence on purchasing another GM product but i am starting to question my decision.

Just take note of some of the forum entries and inspect the vehicle well when it arrives. Ensure all the TSBs and Recalls are completed. Take the unit for a drive and keep overnight if possible. Wash it and look for any leaks etc. There are owners without problems and a few with problems.

Thank you, i didn't realize there are leak issues. I guess i have a lot of reading to do. I was able to keep a loaner 2020 Denali for 2 days to see if it was what i wanted to purchase, It was  quiet, solid feel, and responded well, i just fell in love with it. If there any other items i should know about please pass them on, i would greatly appreciate it. 

Again Thank you.

You will find all the issues if you look in the troubleshooting section of a forum for any brand of vehicle. There are many driving around with no issues.

The only issue I have had with my truck is this brake issue. Other than that I absolutely love my Trail Boss and would buy it again.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
