TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DENOOYER CHEVROLET LOCATED IN ALBANY, NEW YORK) WHO APPLIED A WAX RUST PROOF COATING TO THE FRAME, BUT THE RUSTING CONTINUED TO PROGRESS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WAX RUST PROOF COATING WAS A TEMPORARY REMEDY AND WOULD EVENTUALLY WEAR OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT A POWDER COATING WAS BEING APPLIED TO ONLY NEWER VEHICLES TO PREVENT THE RUSTING FROM OCCURRING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS SENT TO AN AUTHORIZED CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR "RUST PROOFING" OF FRAME BACK IN DEC. 2016. BODY SHOP MANAGER NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS WAS A "BAND AID" TO THE PROBLEM IN 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO. DURING MANUFACTURING OF VEHCLE I WAS TOLD GM PUTS A "WAX" ON FRAME. ONCE THE "WAX" WEARS OFF, THE METAL ON THE FRAME IS EXPOSED TO THE HARMFUL ENVIROMENTAL AGENTS (SALT,WATER, DIRT). AFTER 6 MONTHS OF "RUST PROOFING," RUST RE-APPEARED ON FRAME. THIS FRAME WILL NOT LAST 3-5 YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS AND UN-SAFE. UPDATED 10/4/18*JB

TOOK MY TRUCK IN OCT. 2016 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERING AND HAVING TO FIGHT IT ON TURNS. AND THE TRUCK JUST SHUTTING DOWN. TOLD IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. WELL 9 MONTHS LATER DOING THE SAME THING. AFTER THE CHEVROLET DEALER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. I THINK IT IS A PROBLEM WHEN YOU LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING AND YOUR TRUCK JUST STOPS ON TURNS. MY TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.

PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS ON HOW TO FIX THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH GM RECALL #: N172085440. I HAVE ATTACHED AN ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE G218 GROUND WHICH IS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. I ALSO ATTACHED A GROUND LOCATION VIEW SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE G218 GROUND STUD INSIDE THE TRUCK. WHEN THE TRUCK CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, THIS G218 GROUND STUD WAS SURROUNDED BY SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL WHICH IS CAUSING THE SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND CAUSING STEERING ISSUES.

GM MANUFACTURER IS TAKING TOO LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR COME UP WITH A REMEDY FOR GM RECALL #: N172085440. THE DATE ISSUED WAS JUNE, 29TH 2017.

CHEVROLET SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GIVE OWNERS SOME RELIEF ON THIS FAULTY TRUCK PART. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ABOUT THIS. I REALIZE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO REPORT THIS MATTER. LEAKING SO MUCH COOLANT MIGHT BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A TURN WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, HOT AIR EMITTED FROM THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN SUN VALLEY, CA WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD ONLY OFFER A ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR COUPON. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO MY BRAKES BECAME HARD TO USE. I HAD TO PUSH HARD WITH BOTH GET TO GET THEM TO WORK. THEN I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY AND THEY WHERE FINE UNTIL I TRIED TO PARK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I FOUND ON A FORUM THAT THIS IS A VACCUME PUMP ISSUE THAT IS COMMON IN THIS YEAR.

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN MAY 2017. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, I KEPT GETTING A "SERVICE STABILITRAC" MESSAGE. ABOUT 2 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST MESSAGE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER. IT WENT COMPLETELY DARK. THE STEERING WHEEL RIPPED OUT OF MY HANDS AND I NEARLY CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WITH ALL MY STRENGTH I TURNED THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION. AFTER I COASTED TO A STOP, I TURNED THE KEY OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY. ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. LOSING POWER, STABILITRAC MESSAGES, DIMINISHED STEERING, LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY AND LOST ALL POWER, MY DOOR LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN LIKE THREE TIMES, AC SURGES, RADIO WENT ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS ISAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2014 1500 SILVERADOS. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ISSUE. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE. TODAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH IN TRAFFIC AND MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AGAIN, TOTAL BLACKOUT OF ALL ELECTRONICS, NO STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT THANKFULLY ALL SYSTEMS TURNED BACK ON IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND I MADE IT HOME. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE HAS LOCATED THE SOURCE. IT IS A FAULT AT THE "

SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD LOOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN THE POWER STEERING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK OR TURN AROUND IN DRIVEWAY.. ON TIMES,ONLY WARNINGS WOULD FLASH UP ON THE INFORMATION DISPLAY ABOUT LOSE OF SYSTEMS AND THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD CYCLE. OCCASIONALLY, THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD SHUT OFF THE CRUSE CONTROL.

PURCHASED A NEW 2014 OFF THE LOT WITH 7 MILES AND WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS TRUCK. FROM AIR BAG SENSORS GOING OUT AND THE DEALER REFUSING TO COVER THIS TO THE SEAT BEING REPLACED. THE REAR WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE AC HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. BOTH TIMES CALLED CHEVY ASKING FOR HELP AND WAS DENIED ASSISTANCE. SEATBELT ISSUES. COMPUTER SCREEN ISSUES. TIRE SENOR ISSUES RATTLING IN THE DASHBOARD. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE MY HUSBAND DRIVES TO WORK AND BACK HOME. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY THINK WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND CHEVY DOESN'T SEEM TO WANNA HELP US. I HATE TO WRITE THE MONTHLY NOTE OUT EACH MONTH PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT.

I PURCHASED THE TRUCK MAY 2015. THE AC CONDENSER WENT OUT APRIL 2017. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PART HAS SOME TYPE OF HOLD ON IT. READING FORUMS CHEVROLET KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE, BUT IS IN NO HURRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO READ THAT THIS ISSUE IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR AGAIN. THERE IS NO REASON A 2 YEAR OLD TRUCK SHOULD BE HAVING AC ISSUES. IT IS VERY COMMON IN THE SPECIFIC YEAR. GM NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND MAKE IT RIGHT.

KNOWN GM ISSUE WITH A/C CONDENSER. NATIONAL BACK ORDERED PART...NEARLY EVERY 2014 SILVERADO HAS HAS THIS ISSUE, OR IS GOING TO. ALSO KNOWN ISSUE WITH RADIATOR CRACKING ISSUE....NEARLY ALL 2014'S WILL HAVE THIS ISSUE IF NOT ALREADY. BOTH MY CONDENSER AND RADIATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM MUST FIX THESE KNOWN ISSUES

STARTED EXPERIENCING A POPPING SOUND AND POPPING /CLICKING FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS ,WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION.THIS WOULD USUALLY OCCUR IN TIGHT SPACES SUCH AS PARKING LOTS ,GAS STATIONS ETC. AND AFTER THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN FOR AWHILE ,20 PLUS MILES AFTER A FEW WEEKS STARTED NOTICING THAT FRONT TIRES WERE WEARING RAPIDLY AND CLICK/POPPING SOUND HAD PROGRESSED AND SO WE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP, AND MET WITH SERVICE TECH ,AFTER A BRIEF DIAGNOSIS I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY RACK AND PINION AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, THIS IS A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT ON A FAIRLY NEW TRUCK WITH LESS THEN 68000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CHECK ENGINE AND A FEW OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CABIN BEGAN TO FILL WITH SMOKE THROUGH THE VENTS. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF GREEN LIQUID EMERGING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (SUN SHINE CHEVROLET IN ARDEN, NORTH CAROLINA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONDENSER WAS LEAKING FREON INTO THE COMPRESSOR, WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE CONDENSER WAS INCLUDED IN A NATIONAL BACKORDER INDEFINITELY. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ONE MONTH AGO AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS. WHEN I WENT IN FOR SERVICE THREE RECALLS WERE FOUND. I WAS LIED TO BY THE CAR DEALER AND I FEEL MY LIFE IS IN DANGER.

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSERS ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE BY GM AND SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS LOCAL MECHANICS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY REPLACING THESE ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.3L V8. THIS APPLIES TO ALL GM VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR. OWNERS ARE UNABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AS OEM PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER WITH NO ETA. THE BACK-ORDER IS DUE TO GM HAVING TO RE-MANUFACTURE THE ENTIRE INVENTORY WHILE OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR THESE REPLACEMENT CONDENSERS GROWS. THIS IS A $1,100 REPAIR INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE BURDEN OF THE CONSUMER AS GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IN THE MEANWHILE WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH OUR WINDOWS DOWN WHICH EXPOSES US TO EXHAUST FUMES OF OTHER VEHICLES AND DEBRIS BEING FREE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. NOTHING PROVOKED THIS FAILED CONDENSER AS I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED AND MY AIR CONDITIONER QUICKLY BECAME WARMER AS THE REFRIGERANT LEAKED OUT.

MY AIR CONDITIONIONG STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A NEW AC CONDENSER. PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME. IT IS SUMMER TIME AND TOO HOT TO DRIVE WITHOUT AC.

BUBBLES IN THE SIDE WALL OF TWO TIRES. GOODYEAR FUEL MAX ASSURANCE. P265/65R18. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

I HAVE 38,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND THE AC IS NOW BLOWING WARM AIR. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, YET NO RECALL!!!!

VERY VERY HARD BRAKE PEDDLE AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.

A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED DUE TO MANUFACTURING/INSTALLATION DEFECT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON

2014 CHEVY SILVERADO LT WITH 27,000 MILES. NOTICED COOLANT SMELL NEAR FRONT OF TRUCK AFTER DRIVING IT. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL SOURCES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH COOLANT LEAK. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK COOLANT LEAK. THEY FOUND OUT THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND TOLD ME GM HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE THERMOSTAT OVERCYCLING CAUSING THE RADIATOR TO DEVELOP STRESS CRACKS AND LEAK COOLANT. MY TRUCK HOWEVER WAS PASS THE 36 MONTH BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND MY TRUCK DOESN'T FALL UNDER THEIR SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN 15829 TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR 5 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. QUOTED AROUND $900 TO $1,000 TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT WITH A NEW VERSION THAT WILL NOT STRESS CRACK THE RADIATOR AND NEW RADIATOR (SAME PART AS ORIGINAL) IS PUT IN THE TRUCK. SO IF GM KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT WILL ONLY FIX CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE SAME FAULTY THERMOSTAT. HOW IS THIS RIGHT?

STEERING ASSIST ERROR, SERVICE STABILITRAC ERROR,- STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF HAND WHILE TURNING , LOSS OF STEERING. ELECTRICAL LOSS- ALL GAUGES AND LIGHTING BLANK WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY

FAULTY AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER. THE GM REPLACEMENT PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND WILL TAKE 12+ WEEKS TO GET. THIS INDICATES THAT MANY SILVERADO OWNERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE SAME PART AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PRESS IN MAKING VEHICLE HARD TO STOP

THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY RAN THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT AND SAID THAT THE A/C CONDENSER HAS A LEAK AT ONE OF THE WELDS ON IT. I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THE TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT GET THE PART ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY AND NOBODY KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. IS THERE A RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR THIS PROBLEM?

TRUCK STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR 2 MONTHS AGO. TRUCK WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AT 38,598 MILES. TOOK TO FIRESTONE REPAIR CENTER ON 5/06/2017 TO HAVE AC CHECKED OUT. THEY NOTED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE CONDENSER. CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE WHO OPENED A CASE AND THEY MENTIONED THAT I NOW HAD TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER. I DID THAT AND THEY CONFIRMED THE FIRESTONE DIAGNOSIS AND ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE CONDENSER IS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER. THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CALIFORNIA EAST BAY IS NEARING 100 DEGREES AND EXPECTED TO STAY THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME. NO WORK FORM CHEVROLET REGARDING WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE COMPRESSOR AND HOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED NASH CHEVROLET AT (770) 822-6678 AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,859.

AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I AM ABLE TO SEE STRONG SIMILARITIES IN WHAT EVERYONE IS CALLING THE G218 GROUND ISSUE. MY VEHICLE'S POWER ASSISTED STEERING WILL GO OUT IN A SLOW TURN. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A FIRE HYDRANT COLLISION LAST NIGHT. THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SAYS TO SERVICE THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. IT ALSO WILL COME UP WITH OTHER ERRORS EITHER CONCERNING THE STEERING COLUMN OR THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE IS STEERING ITSELF AGAINST THE TURN. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE DIED AND WOULD NOT START UNTIL RESTING FOR A BIT, ONCE FOR TEN MINUTES IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE VERY SOON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FLAW FROM THE FACTORY. I WOULD SERIOUSLY HATE TO HEAR THIS HAPPENING TO A MOTHER WITH A VEHICLE FULL OF CHILDREN. ..UPDATED 06/14/17 *BF UPDATED 06/30/2017*17

A/C CONDENSER FAILED AT 60,000 MILES, LEAKING

I OWN A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO. VIN: [XXX]. THE AC STOPPED COOLING. ONE DAY IT WAS ICE COLD. THE NEXT DAY IT BLEW HOT AIR. I TALKED TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT IT'S A KNOW ISSUE AND THAT GM ISSUED A TSB FOR REPAIR GUIDELINES BUT HAVE YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. THEY SAY THE REPAIR IS BETWEEN 1000.00 AND 1800.00. THEY SAID I COULD GET A REFUND IF A RECALL IS ISSUED LATER ON. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK UP THE TSB NUMBER FOR ME, BUT HAVE NOT YET TO GIVEN IT TO ME. LOOKING AT MULTIPLE FORUMS I SEE MANY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. SEVERAL SAY THEY GOT THE ISSUE REPAIRED AND THEIR PAPERWORK STATED "PERFORMED PIT5337". MOST THREADS MENTION THAT THIS IS A KNOWN MFG FLAW WITH THE HOSE BRACKET FOR THIS MODEL. THE FLAW ALLOWS THE HOSE FITTING TO CRACK OVER TIME. IT APPEARS THAT GM INCLUDES A SUPPORT BRACKET WITH THE NEW HOSE AS PART OF THE REPAIR. THAT REPLACEMENT BRACKET IS GM23264893. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO HAVE MY VEHICLE CHECKED TO CONFIRM THAT MY ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THIS FLAW. THE DID SAY THAT THEY HAVE HAD 8 VEHICLES IN FOR THIS REPAIR. THE DEALER IS RAY CHEVROLET IN FOXLAKE, IL. 847-537-3300. ONCE I SAW HOW MANY HITS I GOT ON MY GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THIS ISSUE, I WAS SHOCKED THAT THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

MY SERVICE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY GOING OFF FOR "TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM". IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO BE LOOKED AT WITH NO LUCK. TODAY I DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES AND IT MUST HAVE CHIMED ABOUT 30 TIMES. IT IS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION WHEN I'M DRIVING NOT TO MENTION VERY IRRITATING. IT DOES IT IN PARK, IN DRIVE, DRY AND WET WEATHER.
