Great news, thank you for the update Will!

Just talked to my dealear, they don't have any update yet from GM Canada.

Where did you get the part, Will? I wonder if I could order it online and have it installed by my dealer.

I would like to also like the part # and any contact with GM because my dealer doesn’t seem to be much help

I asked my service manager for the part number.  No response yet.  I want it for my records in the event this breaks out of warranty down the road...

The service manager replied to me this am.  He gave me part number 84488395.  This looks like a legacy part number upon web search.  I wonder if there was a bad batch or something...

Dealer called today and is trying an aftermarket Bluetooth system for the 3rd time.

apparently they discussed a buyback on my truck but it now has over 3000 km on it. So it doesn’t qualify anymore. They don’t have the initial visit on the issue documented 1 week after purchase with less than 1000km.

getting angry. @GMCustomerServiceis really not helping by saying leave it in the hands of the dealer.

who is paying for my lost work time and travel back and forth to get this sorted.

I now am asked to drive 1.2 hrs to the trailer store to get a system in to bypass my gm system…  and if I could tow my trailer there it would definitely help. Nope not through the city with no brakes! AM I THE CRAZY PERSON!!!

I have passed the part number to my dealer to see if it's the same for my truck. my dealer is helpful and hoping to get it fixed as much as me.

So my dealer got this for me today- from Curt. 
also found this by looking up the part. 
convenient it’s a genuine gm part now lol.

I tried it with my trailer tonight around the country block and it seemed to function properly.

the truck recognizes there is a trailer there for lights and such- but it doesn’t read there are trailer brakes thus not activating the gm trailer brake system.

This product does it all through Bluetooth and sends the signal to your phone. Not happy that to manually apply the trailer brakes is by phone access and to adjust all settings you have to do by phone access (instead of the gm controls that I paid for) but it at least gets me back on the road and back on the jobsite with my trailer.

take this for what it is. 
-camvap recommend not using a third party system as you are bypassing the gm system and it could come back on you for warranty or liability if an accident was to happen. 
might also affect a buyback option.

all my local dealers are now panicking as this is starting to rear it’s ugly head and there are no fixes and people are flooding in with issues. The one dealer had 3 or 4 angry customers just today alone. 
thanks @GMCustomerServicefor not helping or taking any responsibility in the issue!

ive contacted all my local authorities and media !

Hi @Vwnik,

Looks like you are also in Canada.  I have reported the brake controller issues to Transport Canada, hoping they will help with this, but I don't see any news about our issue on their website. Please don't hesitate to do the same, more complains will most likely put more pressure to fix this issue. Here is the link to the online defect complaint form: https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/PCDB-BDPP/fc-cp.aspx?lang=eng. It takes about 5 minutes to fill.

Having the same issue.  Communication on this topic is unacceptable as it is widespread and a critical component expected for towing larger trailers.  Please add me to the list and

Have been contacted by Dealer that they have part# and replacement controller. Told that it is not an official fix yet. Going in Tuesday for swap out. Kept the pressure on GM through Pa. Attorney General's Office. We'll see if it works.

I am going to take truck in next week with the same fix replacement controller. I gave them the part number through this message board, let's hope that it works and we can all move on from this most unfortunate situation.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
