My truck had the electronic brake control module reprogramming with sps as per recall N192268490 performed. The reprogramming worked fine for a few months. In March 2020, I noticed that at low speeds and mainly when backing, the brakes began to lose pressure and what sounded like and felt like the antilock brake system was engaging, and very hard pressure was needed to stop the truck with longer than expected braking occurring. The problem has definitely worsened and occurs nearly every time braking at low speeds in reverse with any type of incline. While backing my boat into a driveway, this issue occurred and nearly sent the boat into the garage door. I had to apply as much pressure as I possibly could to the brakes to stop the truck and boat before hitting the garage door. The issue has occurred repeatedly as I have backed up on an incline, with or without a trailer or boat attached to my truck.

While driving at low speed example turning into a parking spot, making a U-turn (onto major roadway) coming to a stop the vehicle shuts down losing all power lights engine shuts off. Stereo presets are gone you have to throw the vehicle into park and restart it making it a very scary vehicle. A couple warnings come up on the dic. Check stability track and open and close driver side window.

My truck began with a notification that says "service stabilitrak", over the course of 48 hours it went from on hard bumps and just the notification, to now constantly turning on. There was a recall for this issue with the ABS, but I have to pay the dealer out of pocket. They are currently doing the diagnosis on it to see what the issue is. If the issue matches the same ABS issue as the recalls for 2014-2018 models on the Silverado, would there be a way to fight the charges? the warning notification and icon would light up when either stationary or moving at any speed. 48 hours ago it would only do it when turning at almost full rotation, or driving over some cracks on the road. Now it just does it randomly and very often to where the brakes would shake when applied. Power also goes down a bit, and the wheel would jerk. Pretty much exactly as how all the prior complaints about it before the recall when it reached youtube. It makes driving very dangerous as I can be turning, then the wheel would spring back into a different position. Before this notification, when I apply the brake it would be very smooth. Now because the truck thinks there's some kind of ABS issue, when I brake, it would shake the brake response (like old cars before ABS) and also make the vehicle very unsteady. I cannot brake on a straight line as it would sway the vehicle.

Al these lights came on out of no where one cold day. Steering assist, ABS, break. Also service trailer brake, service stabilitrak. I went online there are so many people with the exact issue. Recall your mistake and fix your problem. Don't screw the customer. I locked up my brakes because the car in front of me and I almost hit them due to my ABS not working I fish tailed sideways. It's a matter of time before someone is hurt. It is a big issue many people have spoke about. I also explained to the guy when I scheduale the recall to be fixed and he said that my lights out a different issue the recall is just a program update for something with the brakes. Then I bring it there 45min later they cant update the truck and complete the recall due to the lights on in the truck!!! I'm just upset I explained everything before appointment and still got screwed. Also after looking there is a lot of people with the exact problem as me.. weird

Stability track warning, ABS and brake light warning all appeared on same day after moving from parking spot and turning out. Cruise control not working. Power steering is strained.

The ABS system failed when braking on a snowy, icy, slippery road locking all four wheels causing the vehicle to skid out of control. The brake light and ABS light and tcs icon were displayed. The brakes had to be released to regain steering control and judicious use of manual braking eventually brought the vehicle to a stop. The ABS pump motor was noted running continuously even with the engine off. Onstar diagnostics indicated a traction control system error. This braking failure occurred in conditions that the ABS is specifically designed to prevent loss of control!

This morning I was driving to work. Stabiltrak error message came on my hud. Cluster and dashboard lights flashed off. Stopped. Everything flashed back on and radio presets were all gone. Not sure if this will continue to keep happening or if it is a frozen sensor, since it has been below 32 degrees here.

For no apparent reason the stabilitrack service indicator will activate in a variety of settings, ie low speed on a road, high speed on an interstate, parked in a parking, etc. I have taken the vehicle to our local GMC dealer and they are unable to replicate the issue or locate a code that is occurring when this warning indicator activates; this occurred last week and as recently as this morning while I was driving to work

When we first bought the vehicle we received the error message: Antilock brakes & stabilitrak problems & wheel vibrated terribly. Took it in, they said it was the computer and fixed it. This morning error re: Anti lock brake problem and no brake fluid (put in a whole can) and error traction off (but we did not turn it off) this is a new vehicle and we could get killed or kill another if there is a brake failure. This should be a recall and GM should buy back the vehicle from us. Thank you for any help you can give us.
