Your brake control module has failed multiple times, with three failures occurring after the dealer installed software updates. Without a functioning ABS and traction control system, your braking ability and vehicle control are significantly compromised, creating a serious safety risk. The dealer and GM have not acknowledged responsibility for the issue. Repair will likely require replacement of the brake control module and potentially a software reflash or update.

NHTSA #: 11308835

Your brake lights won't turn on even though the bulbs are new and there's no blown fuse. This is likely caused by a faulty brake light switch that needs to be replaced by a dealer. Interestingly, your cruise control may also stop working because it's connected to the same switch. The dealer will need to replace the brake light switch to fix both issues.
