The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While the contact was attempting to pull out of the driveway, the ABS, ESC, and check engine warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle lost braking ability. The contact called roadside assistance and had the vehicle towed to mid state Chevrolet Buick (179 exit 67, sutton, wv 26001) on September 4, 2019. The dealer stated that the parts were not available. Repair the vehicle. Previously, on August 22, 2019, the vehicle was taken to ramey automotive richlands (2750 clinch St, richlands, va) where it was kept for sixteen days. The second dealer also stated that parts were not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 273.

On June 16th 2019 I drove down to atlanta, ga for a baseball game. Midway I stopped for gas. When I turned back on the truck, I realized that I had lost a and if I get an amount of my braking ability. However, I had no lights on mu dash to indicate a failure to the braking system. I read on a GM forum that other owners experienced the problem, turned off the vehicle for 30 mins, turned back on the vehicle and the brakes worked again. They, however, had lights indicating a brake failure. I followed the forums suggestions and after 30 mins with my truck off, I drove the truck again and had no further issues. I took the vehicle into the service department, but as I expected they could not replicate the issue. I wanted to start a paper trail though incase the issue reoccurred. On July 10th the same braking issue occurred again. This time I was near my dealership in greenville, SC. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they were able to confirm a loss of over 50% of braking but no lights or check engine code (past or present) indicating a brake failure. I am very concerned and believe this truck is unsafe because of the braking issues and lack of confirmation of service lights on the truck dash. It is a death trap. They are not able to confirm a fix either due to not having a service error code to fix and turn off. Vehicle was in motion when issues occurred both times. On both occasion as, serious car accidents almost happened due to lack of braking ability.

After using the vehicles 4WD I got a ESC service light which stayed on for 3 hours and wouldnt allow me to use the cruis ed control. Also ive noticed hardshifts and delayed shifts in the transmission when shifting from park to drive and from reverse to drive. And when reversing the vehicle sometimes the backuo camera does not come on like normal

Silverado 1500

  • 1,300 miles
My truck has an issue when at low speeds 30mph and under all check warning lights will come on my ESC (electric steering control) will come on when this happens I loose power steering and when that happens the steering wheel returns to center. This has happened three times since buying the vehicle new I had not had the vehicle for a month when all the issue started to happen. When I loose the power steering the power for brakes go out as well I have almost been in an accident because of this it's a very scary situation when it happens. After all the warning lights would come on, power running boards would also cycle up and down on there own, the only light that would stay on was: Service trailer brake system.

Silverado 1500

  • 3,200 miles
The vehicle was stationary and had just been started. The following warnings appear on my display, 1) 'action required, steering assist is reduced dive with care'. 2) 'service, trailer brake system' 3) traction control / ESC light appears on dash. At this point the steering wheel cannot be turned. I called onstar to run diagnostics. A code of U0100 is stored. Errors will continue for 20 - 30 minutes and then go away. After that the truck is back to normal until it happens again. I have owned the truck for 2 1/2 months and seems to happens once a month so far.

Silverado 1500

  • 1,200 miles
Pulling out of a gas station onto a highway my dash display showed "service power steering drive with care" I noticed I had no power assist to my steering and the steering was extremely hard to steer at best. I also received the message "service ecs" at this point I had little control of the direction the vehicle was going and managed to pull over. I also noticed the following functions stopped working, cruise control, traction control, lane assist, auto stop, etc. I let the vehicle sit about 20 minutes and restarted. No errors remained and I went on my way. Scary situation to be in on a highway.
