MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE WITH ANY TYPE OF INCLINE. WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO A DRIVEWAY, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAVE BACKED UP ON AN INCLINE, WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER OR BOAT ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK.

MY TRUCK BEGAN WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK", OVER THE COURSE OF 48 HOURS IT WENT FROM ON HARD BUMPS AND JUST THE NOTIFICATION, TO NOW CONSTANTLY TURNING ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ABS, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER OUT OF POCKET. THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. IF THE ISSUE MATCHES THE SAME ABS ISSUE AS THE RECALLS FOR 2014-2018 MODELS ON THE SILVERADO, WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO FIGHT THE CHARGES? THE WARNING NOTIFICATION AND ICON WOULD LIGHT UP WHEN EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED. 48 HOURS AGO IT WOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN TURNING AT ALMOST FULL ROTATION, OR DRIVING OVER SOME CRACKS ON THE ROAD. NOW IT JUST DOES IT RANDOMLY AND VERY OFTEN TO WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD SHAKE WHEN APPLIED. POWER ALSO GOES DOWN A BIT, AND THE WHEEL WOULD JERK. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS HOW ALL THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BEFORE THE RECALL WHEN IT REACHED YOUTUBE. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BE TURNING, THEN THE WHEEL WOULD SPRING BACK INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION. BEFORE THIS NOTIFICATION, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE IT WOULD BE VERY SMOOTH. NOW BECAUSE THE TRUCK THINKS THERE'S SOME KIND OF ABS ISSUE, WHEN I BRAKE, IT WOULD SHAKE THE BRAKE RESPONSE (LIKE OLD CARS BEFORE ABS) AND ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE VERY UNSTEADY. I CANNOT BRAKE ON A STRAIGHT LINE AS IT WOULD SWAY THE VEHICLE.

THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED WHEN BRAKING ON A SNOWY, ICY, SLIPPERY ROAD LOCKING ALL FOUR WHEELS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT AND TCS ICON WERE DISPLAYED. THE BRAKES HAD TO BE RELEASED TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL AND JUDICIOUS USE OF MANUAL BRAKING EVENTUALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE ABS PUMP MOTOR WAS NOTED RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR. THIS BRAKING FAILURE OCCURRED IN CONDITIONS THAT THE ABS IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL!

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE STABILITRACK SERVICE INDICATOR WILL ACTIVATE IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS, IE LOW SPEED ON A ROAD, HIGH SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE, PARKED IN A PARKING, ETC. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR LOCATE A CODE THAT IS OCCURRING WHEN THIS WARNING INDICATOR ACTIVATES; THIS OCCURRED LAST WEEK AND AS RECENTLY AS THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK

WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE RECEIVED THE ERROR MESSAGE: ANTILOCK BRAKES & STABILITRAK PROBLEMS & WHEEL VIBRATED TERRIBLY. TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND FIXED IT. THIS MORNING ERROR RE: ANTI LOCK BRAKE PROBLEM AND NO BRAKE FLUID (PUT IN A WHOLE CAN) AND ERROR TRACTION OFF (BUT WE DID NOT TURN IT OFF) THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE AND WE COULD GET KILLED OR KILL ANOTHER IF THERE IS A BRAKE FAILURE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GM SHOULD BUY BACK THE VEHICLE FROM US. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US.
