Brake lights will not come on. There is no fuse and lights are new. Many people have reported this as a problem. Has something to do with some switch that the dealer must replace. I have driver nearly 2000 miles this month without any idea the brake lights were not working until I could not get the cruise control to work. After some research it was discovered the cruise control is associated with the switch

Vehicle has been through 4 brake control modules, three of were burnt out by the dealer installing the software. My case is not isolated as many many Chevy owners are experiencing the same issue. The lack of ABS and traction control is a recipe for a serious accident due to a lack of control and braking ability. I have received nothing but denials of wrong doing or general incompetence from GM. I have a friend experiencing this same problem on a 2020 Chevy Silverado. Why do we have to wait for someone to become serious maimed or worse case lose their life for GM to do the right thing?

No previous issues with the airbag but after an oil change it has come on and will have to replace wiring. Unsafe and will be a costly fix for something that should not have occurred due to usage of the rear door. It is an extended cab for a reason! brakes on drivers side grab in the front. It seems to grab and slide to the left, vehicle is in alignment with regular tire rotation and tire pressure checks.
