THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOW. I HAD THE RECALL CORRECTED/COMPLETED; HOWEVER, IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. SO THEIR SOLUTION ISN'T FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT A SLOWER SPEED AND APPLY THE BRAKES IT FEELS LIKE THE GO OUT AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP. YOU HAVE TO PRESS BRAKES REALLY HARD.

UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THERE WERE NO ALERTS LIKE SEAT BELT WARNINGS, DOOR OPEN, HANDS FREE CALLING, ONSTAR. ALSO WHEN SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF NO ALARM TO INDICATE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION. CANNOT HEAR IF BLINKER IS ON. NOTHING COMES THROUGH THE RADIO. THIS HAPPENS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. APPROXIMATELY EVERY SEVERAL MONTHS. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE SHEETS IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THEN START IT BACK UP. TODAY IT DIDN'T DO THAT. AT THIS TIME MY TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES. ALSO ON OCCASION THE SERVICE ELECTRIC BREAKS HAVE INDICATED AN ISSUE AS WELL.
