I purchased this vehicle used in July of 2020. Ever since then, I have experienced random issues with a Service-Trailer Brake System warning coming on. It will keep coming and the chime is extremely distracting and cannot be silenced for any significant period of time. After reviewing on the internet, I am also very concernd about pulling a load with a braking system. I may go for hundreds of miles with no warning, then the warning will start coming in repeatedly. I have not at this time attempted any repairs.

Whenever I connect my trailer to the truck, I get a "Check Trailer Wiring" message on my dash and a dinging sound. The trailer is new, but I returned it to the dealer, and they tore it down to the frame to check the wiring. Several diagnostics were run on the truck and the truck connector was changed, and yet the dinging persisted. Finally, Hendricks Chevrolet in Durham, NC was able to fix the problem, but only temporarily. After 4,000 miles the dinging resumed. I cannot pull my trailer with my truck safely; I would have to drive without brakes and lights. And now I am stranded in California at my sister's home, two days' drive from my new home in CO, and no way to pull the trailer. This has been an ongoing issue that Chevy has ignored. Chevy wants another diagnostic run, even though the diagnostics come back clear. I asked the Chevy team member on the call who can fix a Chevy if Chevy cannot. He had no answer.

It has an electrical issue that I have read is a consistent problem with the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado that is apparently a grounding issue that causes the battery to surge at intermittently after 2+ hours of driving and dash lighting flickers, cuts off cruise control if in use, media and cabin functions disappear altogether in some instances but most importantly, due to the subsequent surge followed by an immediate draining of the battery, the power steering and steering assist becomes disabled especially at low speeds when making any type of turn creating a hazard to the vehicle, it's occupants, and surroundings due to the suddenness of it happening leaving very little reaction time for the driver to recognize and correct their course speed and obstacles due to the fact that the steering gives substantial resistance when trying to turn the steering wheel. ***(speed description below indicates the issue presents itself and happens randomly to where the speed at the time of each occurrence isnt an attributing factor) but the number of incidents multiply and become more prominent and hazardous the longer the vehicle is driven in a single start/stop drive as issue starts to spread into affecting more and more systems and functions especially after 4 hours and over where it could cause a collision and/or injury.

Silverado 1500

  • miles
My truck has 143282 miles. Approximately 6May2022 I started receiving a -??Trailer Brake System-?? warning message on my dash accompanied by an audible alarm. Two days later after towing a trailer (now with NO or Intermittent brake control) I had numerous warning lights for the transmission and fuel systems that was diagnosed by Wheelers Chevrolet (in Coloma, WI) as a High pressure fuel pump failure. The trailer brake warning still exists and was diagnosed as corroded wires at the trailer brake control module. This should not be occurring as all of these connections are sealed by O-rings. The -??Service Trailer Brake System-?? warning still occurs at start-up as well as while driving even when NO trailer is being towed or connected. This becomes distracting, and is causing other systems on my truck to fail when they should not be. This is beyond a safety concern and should have some serious investigation done.

The 2014 and up Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models are notorious for electrical issues and bugs, some may have been recalled but other were not included in that recall while still having the same issues, these vehicles have major electrical system issues, from bad battery cables, down to every Control Module associated with the truck, over time salt, sand, mud, moisture disrupts certain key areas of the electrical wiring harness underneath the vehicle, General Motors knows about this but fails to recall these vehicles, it creates a very serious matter when you have no traction control, or any ABS function, along with loss of power steering assist. These control systems can be life and death when they are not working!. GM needs to address these issues and recall ALL 2014+ Silverado-??s and alike for these electrical issues relating to -??loss of communication with the ECM, BCM, TCM, EBCM, TCCM, PSCM, etc. these are costly break downs and these modules are very expensive to just throw in and hope it fixes the issue, most dealers don-??t want to trace wiring issues and will just tell the customer cannot replicate which leaves us vulnerable. Some customers state their vehicles will randomly shut off while driving, others report their truck going into -??Limp home mode-??. Nobody can seem to centralize a specific area where the problems are occurring but believe it has something to do with the material and the way the harness was made.

At very slow speed (under 1 mph) the steering is unmanageable to turn, even if truck stopped and its required to make a relatively sharp turn. Seems the power steering stops working & airbag warning light turns on as well as parking assist stops working. Very dangerous!! Also when the temperature is under 30?F the dash/ display screen go black when I attempt to use the side window switches

There is a complete loss of power so there is no way to start the truck. Here in North Dakota the wind chills go to fifty degrees below zero. It is life threatening when the truck won't start. Up to this point it has happened only when the vehicle is parked. The GM dealer has seen the truck, but it is a random problem and can't be "replicated" in the shop. The shop manager has seen the security symbol on the dash board and cleared it with the computer. When it happened this week in minus wind chills I called the dealer, and he suggested that I put the key in and let it sit for ten minutes! Nothing happened. When my husband caught a ride to help me, he wiggled the battery connection and the whole system turned on. The security anti theft device light had gone on while driving, but the book said to take it to a dealer!

While driving down the road a service alert comes up on the dash advising "Service Trailer Brake system". This alert is extremely distracting and will not go away while hitting the "dismiss" button. To my knowledge the trailer brake system on this vehicle has never been used. GM shoukd take full responsibility of this problem and issue a recall. Failure to do so could result in future vehicle accidents from people being distracted from this obnoxious alarm from a faulty part. I would supply a picture or video of the alarm but using my camera while driving would only add to the already present danders associated with this issue. Thanks for your time.
