FOUR DAYS AFTER HAVING A RECALL PERFORMED I WAS GETTING AN ERROR FOR MY ECS AND ABS BEING DISABLED. THE TRUCK LOST ALMOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF BRAKING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED A WEEK LATER. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS FIRST STARTED.
UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND TAKING OFF AFTER REMOTELY STARTING IT, MULTIPLE WARNINGS POPPED UP ON THE TRUCKS DIC. THEY WERE, SYSTEM BRAKE FAILURE, TRAILER BRAKE FAILURE, ESC FAILURE, DO NOT EXCEED 65MPH WARNING. AFTER SEEING THOSE I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR LEAVING THE TRUCK WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF BRAKING POWER WHAT SO EVER. AFTER COASTING TO A STOP I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF RESTARTED IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE ICON WAS ON. THE BRAKES DID WORK AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INCLUDING THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING, SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT, AND TRAILER BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. A MESSAGE WAS ALSO DISPLAYED WHICH STATED DO NOT EXCEED OVER 60 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED TO GURLEY LEEP GM GIANT LOCATED AT GURLEY LEEP GM GIANT, (574) 271-3700, AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,575.
BRAND NEW 2019 GMC SIERRA AT4, JUST UNDER 14K MILES. UPON STARTING THE TRUCK, THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS CAME ON. "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE 62MPH TOP SPEED", SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM", STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED DRIVE WITH CARE" SERVICE ESC" CHECK ENGINE" I TURNED THE TRICK OFF, OPENED AND CLOSED MY DOOR, THEN RESTARTED. UPON RESTART, EVERYTHING WAS GONE, NO WARNINGS. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES LATER I WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70MPH) WHEN ALL THE MESSAGES RETURNED. I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. I ONLY SURVIVED THE INCIDENT BY SHIFTING INTO MANUAL, DOWNSHIFTING TO ENGINE BRAKE, AND STANDING ON THE WHAT I'M GUESSING WAS 5 OR 10 PERCENT BRAKE PEDAL. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EMPTY LANE FOR ME TO DO THIS IN.
