2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brakes Problems

Brake failure warning notification and brakes went soft without warning. Almost rear ended vehicle in front of me.

A wire box fell down from behind the dash, and landed behind the brake pedal. This created a severe emergency situation in that the brake pedal could not be depressed at a traffic light, almost causing a car accident. The dealership explained that they have seen this problem before, but it's not a current recall, but should be.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately. The message "Brake System Failure" was displayed.

When driving with a trailer connected to the truck, the DIC displays Trailer Brake Disabled Service required. Power to trailer brakes immediately ceases and the truck brakes are left to stop the truck and trailer. This is extremely dangerous for heavy loads at high speeds.

GM is rolling trucks off the production line with a known trailer brake controller fault. This issue causes the truck to lock out the trailer braking function immediately after applying braking with a trailer attached. This causes stopping distance to be dramatically increased resulting in greater risk of an accident.

Your truck's brake warning light came on, and you discovered the rear brake pad clips were broken on both sides, causing the pads to sit incorrectly against the rotors. The rotors were heavily rusted because the brake pads weren't making proper contact, which required excessive pedal pressure to stop the truck. After replacing the pads and rotors, braking performance improved significantly. This suggests a potential design or assembly issue with the rear brake hardware on this model.

Integrated trailer brake failure. Pugged in trailer and received message stated trailer brake failure, needs service

Purchased 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 new on 10/4/2022. First used to tow on 10/7/2022 with less than 500 miles from new on vehicle. I hooked up our brand new camper (1 month old 2022 Grand Design Imagine) to the truck and the integrated trailer brake controller for the first time and a message appeared on DIC stating "Trailer Brakes Disabled Service Required" and the trailer brakes disengaged.

On 11/10/2022 I was driving in moderate to heavy traffic at low speed; approximately twenty (20) MPH. I applied the brakes and immediately experienced a hard pedal coupled with some pulsating. I pressed the pedal as hard as I could as there was traffic stopped in front of me.

This vehicle has integrated electric brake system. After hooking up Homesteader Hercules trailer, went through all settings, adjusted brake gain, brakes worked for 1 minute, then alert appeared "trailer brakes disabled" "service trailer brake system". This is an ugent issue; the trailer is a 6x12 dual axle and the electric brakes are essential.

As I was driving my vehicle on 9/12 the truck reported a brake system failure and I lost power to my brakes. I was able to pull over at the gas station and call the dealership. They said they couldn’t assist because they didn’t know what the issue was.

Service brake assist message on dash, with check engine light. Brakes are almost useless takes excessive force to get vehicle to stop. Resets after being parked and restarted.

I was driving at about 40 MPH and went to brake and the brake pedal went to the floor with multiple lights appearing on the dash including a warning "brake system failure max speed 43 MPH" as well as "service ESC". The brake light went on as well as the ABS light and the check engine light. Brakes were not fully functional and were like old manual brakes that you had to press hard on to slow down.

Error message states, trailer brakes disabled service required As your towing truck will disable trailer breaks took to gm dealer and simply stated there is no fix right now. This is unsafe when in tow to not have trailer breaks. Gm know and dealer hasn't fixed new truck tons of gm bulletin on this issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH with a trailer attached, the “Trailer Brake Disabled” message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed.

Trailer Brake Controller, yes available for inspection Randomly deactivates Trailer brake controller, Causing hard stopping when needed. Yes problem can be reproduced - has been confirmed by GM, they say they have no fix. Yes unit has been inspected by certified GM dealer, They say there is not a fix.

The integrated trailer braking system will function momentarily and then disable entirely while towing a trailer. This is extremely dangerous as it will not allow the vehicle to come safely to a stop if needed. Emergency braking would be greatly hindered without functioning trailer brakes.

Trailer brake system is not working. Vehicle is reporting trouble code C159C and is subject to service bulletin PIT5948A per the dealership. The latest update states “GM is aware of the issue and is working on a resolution”.

Started vehicle and all of the brake system warning lights were on. Vehicle stated that I could drive 43 MPH with limited braking ability and limited steering. Basically the power assisted brakes and steering would not work.

Vehicle emergency/parking brake actuators failed which could allow the vehicle to roll-away unexpectedly or render this safety braking system inoperable in time of emergency. There is a TSB number PIT 5662G, dated March 25, 2022 that covers testing to confirm defective actuators. This is a known defect to Chevrolet and as it impacts a vehicle operating safety system should be subject to a recall.

Started my truck and drove off. 10 seconds later all of the lights on instrument cluster came on and displayed steering assist reduced the. It said service brake assist.

Trailer brakes disable with any trailer being plugged into. GM has a service bulletin but no fix. It is not a plug issue either.

My truck randomly stops activating the trailer brakes! This is a major safety problem! They are not doing anything to fix it!

The integrated trailer brake system will quit working mid tow. The warning something along the line of "service trailer brake, trailer brakes disabled" comes on and at that point I no longer have use of the trailer brakes while towing. This is very unsafe as I am regularly towing 4000-6000lbs.
