Thanks for the info. I just found out today I have the same issue with my 3 month old Sierra trailering my new boat with EOH brakes. Not a good thing when trailering almost 10k worth of weight behind me.

Oh agreed.  I'm less worried about the value of the camper I'm towing and more the lives of my family.

Add me to this list of the trailer brakes not working.  Got the truck 2 weeks ago and last weekend took the camper out for the first time with the new truck. Brakes worked a short while, then got the same message and the trailer brakes wouldn't work at all.  I pulled over, shut the truck off, disconnected the harness and plugged it back in.  Same thing, worked for a shot time, then the error message and total loss of trailer brakes. After the third time of this nonsense I gave up. When I got home, I checked my wiring on the trailer and all was good. I know I didn't have a problem with the trailer brakes with my old truck and towed my trailer the week before I traded it in.  This condition is highly dangerous and I'm surprised it hasn't been reported to NHTSA yet.  I'm taking my truck in next week to have it checked out.  If there really isn't a fix for this, then NHTSA, the Michigan Attorney General Consumer Protection Division, and my lawyer will be getting a call soon after.

You can add me to the list. Recently picked up a '22 LTZ that is demonstrating this problem. The dealership mentioned a service bulletin, which I'm sure is the one linked here, and then explained that there's no solution available for it. I bought my particular truck to tow and there is towing to be done. 

 

Has anyone been successful in getting their selling dealership to buy the vehicle back and get them into something functional? If I don't get towing capability restored soon I'm going to start missing commitments and to put it bluntly, this is Chevy's boo boo, not mine.

Anyone have any updates? I don’t have anything new from GM. 

I have a new case open w/GM legal  right now, they contacted me after I filed a BBB complaint - I received the call yesterday.  This one was a little better vs. last conversations with customer service.  She was reaching out to the service manager who quoted me the service bulletin number/etc to find out more.  No record on her side, however it was good to hear they are working to "connect the dots"...

Well, I decided to file a NHTSA complaint about this issue tonight. I think everyone should so they start putting heat on GM for all this.  Someone is going to get into a really bad accident soon over this nonsense.

No updates on my side either. :(

I opened a case with BBB also. Hoping to either get something resolved or they buy it back so I can buy a truck that can tow 😞

I've been working with my dealership and have arranged a swap for a truck tested to be working. Hopefully everything works out and I can put this behind me. 

 

As far as I can tell, information about this particular issue hasn't been finding its way to the dealerships. As others have experienced, the bulletin does not show when someone pulls the VIN on my truck but the bulletin itself does positively identify my VIN/build-date. My dealership swears they didn't know at the time of the sale and I believe them. I've called around a little and everyone reacts to me like they have no clue what I'm talking about. 

 

I'm thankful my dealership is willing to play ball on getting this sorted and I feel for those of you that are struggling to get a solution in place. These trucks should have never been sold without this particular flaw being revealed. As some of you have mentioned, sure it's annoying but there is a safety issue underlying this. Poor form Chevrolet.

Glad to hear your dealership is doing you right on that one. The best my dealer would do is let me trade it in at a 7k loss. I declined.

Talked to GM today - The news I am getting is they now see the issue at corporate - the Regional Manager (Service?) is supposed to reach out to me directly, but the "Brand Quality" Team is working on a fix and hope to have it rolled out between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

I did ask them to keep my case open until I see resolution on this issue.

Thank you for the update brentrb031! I hope the timeline GM refers to (between Thanksgiving and Christmas) refers to the current year :P.

I took the truck to the dealer this morning, they ran a scan and it threw a brake controller error in the ECM. They said GM doesn't have a fix yet and told me to come pick it up. I'll call GM tomorrow to see if I get the same answer that a fix is in the works.  I'm still pretty upset that it has this serious safety flaw.  I know my butt puckered a little when I hit the brakes on a 55 mph back road and the truck and trailer didn't want to stop like it should have.  I live in Southeast Michigan and I'm wondering if the local news outlets would be interested in warning folks on a serious safety hazard with these new trucks.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!     
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
