Was driving my brand new 2020 Chevy Silverado, Crew Cab, LTZ with 6.2 engine with 750 miles on it, owning it less than 30 days, and all these lights started flashing on dash. The vehicle started sliding all over the place, while I was trying to steer it, though I had it in auto 4x4. I almost hit a tree due to not being able to steer or stop the vehicle. Luckily there was a snow bank. I had a hard time stopping the vehicle, like the brakes wouldn't work. The lane assist light turned off on by console. I didn't know what was going on. I was on a snow covered, dirt road but, traveling less than 15 MPH.
Then the next morning, when I had phone signal, I noticed I had two emails from OnStar that stated I had a diagnostic alert for "Antilock breaking system" and another email with an issue "StabiliTrak stability control system". Needless to say, I spoke with dealership on Monday the 27th and vehicle is set to go to dealership this Friday 1-31-2020.

This morning it was 16 degrees F I drove about 6 city miles at about 35 mph. I was 1.5 miles from home when leaving a stop light the truck bogged down and was only going up to about 25 mph with the tach at 2000 rpm. It seemed at first that I was driving with the parking brake on but most V8's have enough power to override the parking brake. This acted as if I was pressing hard on the foot brake while driving and giving it a lot of gas. I probably would have had to floor it to go any faster. But was afraid of damaging something. Put on the flashers and drove about 15 mph with the tach at 1500-2000rpm. The dash displayed "Brake system failure 62 mph top speed", "Service ESC", "Parking brake failure" and "Service trailer brake system", The brake pedal was changing its height by itself. Pulled to side of road and pumped the brakes several times, shifted the transmission through park, neutral, reverse and drive and it seemed to operate normally. Pulled onto road and it was bogging down the same. Pulled to side of road again. Then started driving again with flashers on and the tranny shifted as normal, but the brake pedal went to the floor. Pumped the brake pedal and it still went to the floor. Drove slowly while checking the brake occasionally but still went to the floor during the 5 blocks to my driveway. The brake had no effect. My driveway slopes slightly upward so I stopped safely. All four wheel centers and brake rotors were too hot to touch after slowly driving the 1.5 miles this occurred over. About 15 minutes later I turned on the key and the dash displayed "Brake system failure 43 mph top speed", "Service ESC", and "Service trailer brake system". Very, very fortunately there were no vehicles close in front of me when this started and many were behind me when driving with my flashers on due to quite a bit of traffic. This could have been a disaster had it occurred somewhere else.
