I own a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Duramax diesel. At approximately 130,000 miles, the high-pressure CP4 fuel pump failed internally, sending metal shavings throughout the fuel system and contaminating major components. The truck suddenly lost power on the freeway and became inoperable without warning. I was barely able to get out of traffic before it had to be towed to a Chevrolet dealership. This created a serious safety hazard, especially considering the risk if it had happened while towing my fifth wheel with my family. A failure like this should not happen at this mileage on a heavy-duty diesel truck. I also cannot afford the extremely high cost of repairing the entire fuel system. From my research, many other owners have experienced the same CP4 fuel pump failure, which often destroys the entire fuel system and leads to very expensive repairs. I believe this is a widespread defect, not normal wear and tear. I ask NHTSA to review these failures and take action to protect vehicle owners from similar dangerous and costly failures. This truck currently sits at the dealership as I cannot afford the repairs and GM will not fix what they know is faulty parts.

Truck was operating on the highway at highway speed. Suddenly the truck went into a drastic engine power reduction mode and severe automatic downshifting occurred; the truck came to a complete stop on the highway. Diagnostics proved to be a CP4 injector pump failure sending metal into the fuel system, needing a complete contamination kit and new CP3 pump conversion. This apparently is a known defect in GM vehicles and should have been recalled.

The 2nd stage of this truck was not completed and the title was done in fraud in 2015 by Jon Hall Chevy in Daytona. I need this inspected as it shouldn't be on the road. Only 1 MCO without water Marks on it. this is a 2 stage truck should have 2. but nope only one we are getting the run around.

Exhaust filter plugged due to turbo not working properly. Been at dealership going on 7 weeks This is the 3rd new vehicle we have had this has happened to.

Catastrophic failure of the CP4 fuel pump

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH, the message "Fuel Filter Needed to be Replaced" followed by the "Engine Power Reduced" were displayed on the instrument panel. The contact then stated that fuel started leaking from the vehicle and the vehicle stalled. The contact was left stranded in the middle of the road; a tow truck was called, and the vehicle was towed to an independent diesel mechanic. The mechanic performed a diagnostic test, and the contact was informed that the fuel pump had disintegrated which caused debris from the fuel pump to leak into the fuel system. The contact was provided an estimate to replace the fuel pump, fuel pump filter, fuel pump housing, and the fuel injectors. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NTHSA Hotline to file a complaint. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 270,000.

A rear defrost system malfunctioned and was smoking in the interior of the vehicle followed by the rear glass shattering. The electrical malfunction could have easily started a fire and glass flying around the cab a highway speeds could definitely be hazard. I called the dealership and they were unconcerned and gave me a quote to replace it. the dealer or the aftermarket glass replacement company have not heard of it happening. I did find a recall in Canada. Strangely enough mine was done in Canada and it happened again.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the instrument panel was inoperable. The contact stated that the instrument panel failed to function properly while attempting to activate the windshield wiper. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuse block had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,100.

The brake pedal pivot bolt nut loosened itself and came off of the bolt, allowing the bolt to back out of the pedal mount and the brake pedal fell out of position and became lodged behind the accelerator pedal. Thankfully no accident occurred. After performing research with local dealer and independent repair shop it was found to be an obvious repeat failure of the General Motors safety recall #20760E already performed on the vehicle. I reached out to GM customer support who were rude and I received no help in the matter. Can provide more information upon request.

Cooper Discoverer STT Pro (LT295/55R20/10). Driving south bout on Meadowbrook State Parkway about 1/2 mile north of the Southern State Parkway in New York State (Long Island) when a catstrophic failure of the front right tire occurred without warning or provocation. Tires were about 18 months old and had about 25000 miles on them. All traffic was at extreme risk with the sudden blow out at highway speed. The tire failed in its entirety becoming completely separated! I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle while avoiding contact with other vehicles barely managing to get off the road. This tire was most likely defective and should not have failed. The vehicle was towed with the help of AAA to Mavis Discount tire who replaced the tires with a different brand.The seller and manufacturer customer service was god awful and didn't care. All four tires had to be replaced. NO warning indicators were present at any time. The cause of the catastrophic failure is unknown but like I said the tire appears to have been defective. There was no contact or damage prior to the failure. I have pictures of the failed tire.

Bosch CP4 fuel pump failed 400 miles from home leaving us stranded. We were towed in and spent thousands of dollars and 5 weeks to have the truck repaired. Only warning was that the truck was losing power and barely got off the road.

CP4 fuel pump failed while driving 250 miles from home. It was towed in and diagnosed, resulting in over $12,000.00 Dollars to replace fuel system due to metal pumped into fuel system. The mechanic sent the pump back as a core charge. We were stranded and freezing with our dog and towed in after several hours. The only warning was the vehicle was reducing power and I was able to get off the highway.

2015 CHEVY 3500 HD HAS 65,XXX MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. TRUCK PERIODICALLY AND USUALLY RANDOMLY DISPLAYS A "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE" MESSAGE WHICH CONSTANTLY GOES OFF WHEN NOTHING IS BEING TOWED. NOW ABOUT 1 IN 15 TIMES DRIVEN WILL IT NOT DISPLAY THIS MESSAGE. IVE HAD THE TOWING BRAKE MODULE REPLACED AND THAT DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M AT MY WITS END WITH THIS TRUCK. CHEVROLET / GMC NEED TO STEP UP AND MAKE THIS WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM A RECALL. THANKS

As I am driving I am routinely warned about the trailer brake system with or without a trailer hooked up. It is distracting and could cause potential danger while driving. It has been going on for some time and progressively getting worse.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact was advised that the HPFP were on national back order. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21E101000 (Fuel System, Diesel). The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

There are several problems I’ve noticed some I fix myself! First of all, I was driving my truck at night on the country road and all of a sudden it starts losing power shut down on me on a little road with no pull over spots in Kentucky and just dies completely. My service charging system light came on. I worked on this forever. I noticed it. All of my grounds were completely nasty and pretty much not making contact. I fix the ones that I can find only two I know there’s more, I’ve changed the generator three times and the battery once, the problem happened again and again and again the only way I can stop my truck from dying is when that light come on if I got out and I took the negative wire off of my battery and then put it back on it would run again for about another three days and then if I didn’t see it, I’m stranded very dangerous. Finally I took it to my mechanic up the road and he basically did the same things. I did something about a door switch also though not another battery another generator and he added new battery cables so far it hasn’t done it again. Now my truck when starting to slow down, it will vibrate and shake you to death. You hit a little vibration in the road say a rumble strip. This thing will shake you through the roof in about make you run into another Vehicle , also, it’s hard to fill up the gas if you have to turn the gas nozzle almost straight up and down if you’re low on gas to make it except it or you’ll be sitting there for 30 minutes puttin

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The contact stated that while towing a camper, the brakes locked up. The service trailer brake system message was displayed. There was an abnormal beeping noise detected and the instrument cluster was flashing. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle was vibrating. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but the mechanic was unable to assist. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

BUT I WAS TOWING MY TRAILER AND AS I STEPPED ON THE BREAK IT WAS GIVING ME THAT WARNING AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FAILING TO ENGAGE ON THE TRAILER I REVIEWED THIS ON FORUMS AND EVERYBODY IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM ABOUT 2011 ON THE CHEVROLET AND GMC'S FOR GMC AND CHEVROLET SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM PEOPLE HAVE SWITCHED OUT THE DASHBOARD SWITCH AND IT RETURNS IT COMES AND GOES AS A PROBLEM.

TURNED A CORNER GOT A LAP FULL OF WATER, LUCKILY I WASN'T IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. HEADLINER AND CARPET ARE WET, PROBABLY THE ELECTRONICS AS WELL. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN LEAKING JUST NOTICED IT.

I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY CHEVROLET TRUCK WHICH IS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AS THIS ONE. TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT FIXED. THEY SAID IT WASN'T RECALLED SO WE HAD TO PAY THE BILL. ISN'T THEIR A WAY TO FIND THE RECALL AND GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR BILL AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED COSTS? WE HAVE CALLED AND MADE A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA. NOTHING CAME OF IT. IT STILL IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH NO COST TO THE CUSTOMERS.

I WOULD NOTICE WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT UNDER THE HOOD OF MY VEHICLE. I WOULD MAINLY NOTICE IT WHEN I WOULD TURN ON THE AC . THIS WOULD HAPPEN EITHER PARKED OR IN MOTION. I WOULD OPEN THE HOOD AND THE SMOKE WOULD ONLY LAST A FEW MINUTES, WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO CATCH ON FIRE.

I REMOTE STARTED MY 2015 SILVERADO 3500HD DURAMAX. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF IDLE TIME I BEGAN DRIVING THE TRUCK. ABOUT 3/4 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I DETECTED THE SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING OR VERY HOT.

THE MOUNTS, BOTH DAMAGED, WERE ALL THAT WERE LEFT. THE CAMPER SIDE WAS ALSO SLIGHTLY CRACKED ON ONE CORNER AND BULGED ON THE OTHER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. LANCE HAS REPLIED TO MY COMPLAINT STATING IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM ANY MORE SO CLAIMED THEY HAD NO LIABILITY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. THE AWNING IS MADE BY CAREFREE OF COLORADO FOR LANCE. I WANTED TO HAVE THIS RECORDED BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OF ANECDOTAL INFORMATION OF OTHER SLIDE AWNINGS UNFURLING AND/OR COMING OFF SOME CAMPERS.

I LIVE IN A FARMING/RANCHING PART OF THE USA WHERE MULTIPLE PEOPLE DRIVE DIESEL PICKUPS. I HAVE TALKED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEVY DURAMAX TRUCKS (ACCORDING TO THEIR DEALERSHIP). WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED ON THEIR VEHICLES, THEY WERE DRIVING & THE VEHICLE BECAME IMMOBILE. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS WHEN DRIVING YOU COULD LOSE POWER STEERING/FULL BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE A FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS, I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY DEATHS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, BUT NO ENGINE POWER COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING/FULL BRAKING ABILITY, RESULTING IN EQUIPMENT/BODILY INJURY. I CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SUPPORT & SUBMITTED A CLAIM, THEY SAID THEY WOULD SUBMIT THE CLAIM TO THE RECALL DEPARTMENT. CHEVY ALSO CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP & SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE GUY TO CONFIRM MY CLAIM, HE SAID HE CONFIRMED THE MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES THAT THEY HAVE SEEN. AS A MATTER OF A FACT, ANOTHER CHEVY DURAMAX WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE EXACT ISSUE, WHILE MY TRUCK WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT CHEVY HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYST

P2636 TRANSFER PUMP INSUFFICIENT FLOW - VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, UNABLE TO RESTART. TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP TO FIND TRANSFER PUMP WHICH TRANSFERS FUEL FROM REAR TO FRONT TANK HAD FAILED. VEHICLE HAS 37,880 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. BELIEVE THIS TO BE RECURRING ISSUE, WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH MANUFACTURER.

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY ON A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE. I HAD JUST PARKED IT AND WAS UNLOCKING MY FRONT DOOR WHEN I TURNED AROUND AND WITNESSED IT ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TOWARDS THE STREET. I MANAGED TO RUN BACK AND GET IN A STOP IT WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOW AT LEAST 30 FEET FROM WHERE I HAD PARKED IT AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED FARTHER HAD I NOT STOPPED IT. AFTER THIS I PARKED IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN THE SAME SPOT AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARK. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF ME TESTING IT. THEY LATER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROGRAMMING ISSUE AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND IT SHOULD WORK NOW. THE TRANSMISSION CAN COME OUT OF PARK EVEN WHEN NOT RUNNING. WHEN I ASKED WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF SUCH A RECALL THE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE THEY WERE CALLING CUSTOMERS ABOUT RATHER THEY WERE JUST FIXING VEHICLES AS THEY CAME IN REPORTING THE ISSUE. I LIVE 3 BLOCKS FROM A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THERE IS OFTEN CHILDREN WALKING DOWN MY STREET. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE EASILY SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED SOMEONE YET CHEVY DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A LARGE ENOUGH SAFETY CONCERN TO INFORM OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE METAL FRAGMENTS INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE ROTERS WERE WORN OUT BUT THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR THE FAILURE, IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE WEARING OUT UNEVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED IN PARK, WAS PARKED OPENING A GATE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POP AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD,WITH A TRAILER,LOAD OF HAY, HAS DONE LOTS OF DAMAGE HAS 2000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS STATIONARY THEN STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED IN REVERSE, THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER ALL THE PASSENGERS WERE EVACUATED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE HORN SOUNDED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER IN SEPT 2015 WITH THE DEALER INSTALLED FLATBED ALREADY ON IT, ON THEIR DEALERSHIP LOT. FUEL MILEAGE WAS POOR FROM THE FIRST, "ENGINE LIGHT ON" FROM THE FIRST; TRANSMISSION DRAGGING FROM THE FIRST DAY WE BOUGHT IT. SERVICE ADVISORS AND THE SALESMAN SAID DRIVE IT AND IT WILL CLEAR OUT. IT GOT WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY SENT IT TO THE COMPANY WHO INSTALLED THE FLATBED FOR THEM, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE FUEL PUMP WHICH THEY REPLACED. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY WHEN WE GOT IT BACK, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID "IT PERFORMS AS DESIGNED". BUT, THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC 6 SPEED CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION IN A 2015 CHEVROLET 3500 SILVERADO WITH A 6.0 GASOLINE ENGINE. THE TRANSMISSION DRAGS FROM 5TH GEAR AND THEN DRAGS IN 6TH GEAR. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT. IF I LET IT DRAG OUT, IT USES FUEL AND SOUNDS LIKE I AM STUCK IN GEAR. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS, AND THEY SAY SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT WE CAN'T TAKE IT APART TO FIX IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID FOR ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION "BLOWS UP BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY". I TOOK IT TO A RELIABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP, BUT THEY WON'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THAT IT DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY INTO ALL 6 GEARS. IT ONLY HAS 3600 MILES. WE HAVE TO DRIVE IT ONCE A WEEK TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I DON'T PULL OR HAUL ANYTHING WITH IT. THIS IS HAPP

SILVERADO 3500 HD TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH TOWING/CAMPER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS EQUIPPED WITH RED TURN SIGNALS EMBEDDED IN MIRROR GLASS. RED TURN SIGNAL LED'S IMPAIR VISION AT NIGHT, AND SHINE DIRECTLY INTO DRIVERS EYES, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUTSIDE VEHICLE IN DIRECTION OF TURN. THE TURN SIGNAL LED'S ARE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT ANY SORT OF SHIELDING COATING IN MIRROR GLASS WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LED'S. ALSO THE MIRRORS ARE MOUNTED TO HIGH FOR AVERAGE HIGTH PEOPLE. TWO INCHES LOWER WOULD HELP A LOT FOR TURNING VISIBILITY.

I FIND THE PUSH BUTTON CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE TO SMALL FOR A WORKING DRIVER. WHEN WEARING GLOVES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT USING THE SMALL PUSH BUTTONS. THE BUTTONS THAT WERE USED ON THE PREVIOUS MODELS WERE MORE USER FRIENDLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON US HIGHWAY 12 GOING APPROX. 35 MPH WHEN THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL LOCKUP AND CAUSED ME TO SLID OFF THE ROAD IN A TURN THAT ALSO HAD ICE WHILE TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL THE ACCIDENT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AND THE RIGHT REAR AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE 8 FOOT BED ALONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD AND A FRONT DRIVE LINE FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE FRONT DRIVE LINE BREAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AS WELL I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL MOVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE TO SHOW THE MOVEMENT AND SHOW WHAT CAUSED THE REAR END TO LOCK UP IT HAD MOVED AN 1/4 OF AND INCH TO 1/2 INCH IN EITHER DIRECTION.

OUR ?CHECK TRAILER WIRING? MESSAGE FIRST APPEARED ON THE DIC ON JANUARY 5, 2016 ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY 12, NEAR FAIRFIELD, CA.0. WE STOPPED AND APPLIED DI-ELECTRIC GREASE TO THE 7 PIN PLUG. THE MESSAGE RE-APPEARED AND CLEARED ITSELF, INDICATING TRAILER CONNECTED. AT 7,380 MILES, CHECKED THE TRUCK AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, AND ADVISED US OF GM'S TRAILER WIRING TSB, AND SUGGESTED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRAILER AND THAT WE PURCHASE A SPECIFIC POLLAK 7 PIN TRAILER END PLUG. THEY PROVIDED THE NAME OF A NEARBY TRUCK SHOP, WHO THAT THE SPECIFIED POLLAK PLUG. WE HEADED OVERNIGHT TO CHOWCHILLA, CA AND THE NEXT MORNING, REPLACED THE 7 PIN CONNECTOR WITH THE POLLAK PLUG, AND WE CLEANED AND CHECKED THE TRAILER GROUND AT THE KING PIN. WE LEFT CHOWCHILLA AND IN URBAN TRAFFIC, THE CHECK TRAILER WIRING MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR AS WE APPLIED THE TRUCK BRAKE AND THEN CLEAR ITSELF WITH TRAILER CONNECTED AS WE HEADED DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY. WE WENT THROUGH URBAN TRAFFIC IN PALMDALE AND LANCASTER, CA THAT SAME DAY, AND AT A STOP LIGHT ON LEVEL GROUND, WITH THE ?CHECK TRAILER WIRING MESSAGE APPEARING, I APPLIED THE MANUAL TRAILER BRAKES, AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE TRUCK BRAKES, AND THE TRAILER/TRUCK ROLLED AHEAD - NO BRAKES ON THE TRAILER. WE EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL MESSAGE ON THE DASH INDICATING 'CHECK TRAILER WIRING'. WE ARE TOWING A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER WEIGHING OVER 13,000 LBS. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A GM DEALER AND WERE TOLD OF A TSB REGARDING BRAKING ISSUES, AND WERE TOLD TO REPLACE THE 7 PIN PLUG W

A WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON THE DASH TELLING THE DRIVER THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE TRAILER BRAKES, OR WIRING SYSTEM. THE TRAILER BRAKES BECOME INOPERABLE WHEN THIS COMES ON. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH THE ISSUE, BOTH AT THE DEALER LEVEL AND AT THE CORPORATE LEVEL; AND THEY INSIST IT IS A PROBLEM WITH OUR TRAILERS. THE SAME TRAILERS ARE USED WITH OLDER CHEVROLET TRUCKS WITHOUT INCIDENT. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN INFORMED BY GM THAT THE 2015 SILVERADO 2500'S ARE EQUIPPED WITH A MORE SENSITIVE TRAILERING SYSTEM. WHEN THE CONNECTION BECOMES WET DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, OR THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP; AND THE CONNECTOR LOSES CONTACT MOMENTARILY THE MESSAGE WILL ILLUMINATE. RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF TRAILER BRAKES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
