The contact owns a 2024 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated while towing a trailer and driving down a hill at approximately 40 MPH, the integrated trailer braking system error message was displayed, and the trailer braking system failed to activate. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who was unable to replicate the failure and failure was found. The dealer later informed the contact that the solar panel system on the trailer might have caused the integrated trailer braking system to malfunction. The contact stated that after turning off the solar panel system the failure persisted. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 800.

When I connect my 2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD to my camping trailer that has a solar panel and solar charge controller, it causes the factory-installed brake controller inside the truck to malfunction. The trailer brakes connect and disconnect 4 times a minute sending alerts to my dashboard. This is dangerous. My trailer weighs up to 14,000 pounds and would have to rely solely on the truck brakes to slow to a stop. GM put out a Document ID: 6379278 / #23-NA-113 "Information on Trailer Brake Disabled or DTC Stored". However, there is no fix. The GMC dealer said they can't find the service bulletin?! Please make this issue a RECALL. I bought this truck to exclusively tow a trailer and now I can't.
