Hey all! I just got a brand new 2020 Denali off the showroom floor . It has a message in the dash  “service brake assist”. It was even on while I took it for a test drive. Long story short Looks like the dealer is replacing the master cylinder. Not sure what the full scope of the techs report is yet, I’ll keep everyone posted. My vin has no recall in the NHTSA,  but that can always change..

Amazing they still cant get it right ...  the brake system on the 19s was a total foul up of software and master cylinders.

I have the same issue on my 2020, purchased a month ago. Just brought it in with less than 500 miles on it. They “reprogrammed all the modules” and the fault cleared. Two days later, the fault appears again every time I start it. Bringing it in again this week. What led them to replace the master cylinder? Please let us know when you find out.

Hey all! All they told me is that it was a major recall. I think they didn’t want me to be upset, after I only had the truck a week. They replaced brake master cylinder, brake module, and replaced all the brake lines. I’ll say the dealer did a great job, I couldn’t even tell they did all that work, as I also am a former Tech myself. It was Big  job especially for a brand new truck with 100 miles on it . I will say the code is gone so far, almost a week now, the code would come back hours later after they cleared it, I’m pretty confident they fixed it. Here is a copy of the report. I would absolutely keep hounding your local dealer to fix the code, it’s in for a reason, and it’s not going to go away!

My pleasure, I was once in the dark about this. I’m so glad I could help others with this info. Apparently the infamous brake recall they had a couple years ago has lingered into the 2020 models as well. Just be very careful driving it. I did not experience any brake lag or failure,  it only had the annoying light on. But I’ve read other posts who had the same light and had brake issues. Aside from that how do you like your truck? I love it, I refuse to let the recall stop me from enjoying it!

Not sure as to why they would put lines in?  Something must have failed in the brake module to get the module/master assembly though.  The recall(s) are nothing more than reprograms to the brake module.

I mis1quoted looks like he reinstalled the lines .. but I was surprised as well as to the amount of work needed from the fix. So something from the previous recalls must have been amended by GM to fix the issue, for all we know this could be a new issue itself..

Thanks for the update. Mine is back at the dealer now for over a day now. I’ll update this thread when I hear what the issue/fix was.

 

I love it other than this issue that hopefully gets solved soon!

Maybe, but they did way more work than that. I attached the report from the tech in the earlier post of the chain. Keep in mind new recalls and procedures can be issued/changed/modified from the manufacturer at anytime. I believe the original fix was a software update , then that turned out to be disastrous, then there was a replacement fix for that recall...I could be wrong, just thought I read that somewhere. Thanks for the reply!

I got mine back from the dealer yesterday. It was generating a new code from when I had it in last week. They replaced the master cylinder, same as the notes posted above. So it appears more than just a re-flash. Hopefully it’s solved now.

Hey! 
 

well I’m glad to hear they took you seriously, and started somewhere to fix it. I’m betting you will be good to go though now! So far I still have no codes after that procedure.

Brand new Silverado 400 miles.  All lights came on.  (Trailer brake asst, abs, check engine light) brake pedal was really hard. Truck will not pass 42 mph.  Not happy.  I used to have a Toyota truck never had a issue in 7 years.  I think this truck is a lemon.   Going to the dealer on monday.   ????

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
