LOSS OF POWER STEERING, ALL DIGITAL SCREENS GO BLACK, COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN, FINALLY RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. AT THIS POINT NOTHING OPERATES INCLUDING 4 WAYS. AFTER 2-3 MINUTES ALL RESETS AND TRUCK STARTS AND OPERATES AGAIN. DEALER AND GM TECHS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK WITH OUT A SOLUTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES ,WITH A FEW TIMES BEING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POSITION. ALL ELECTRICAL,ALL GROUNDS AND OBC ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. GM HAS A MAJOR AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT PUT OUT A RECALL AS OF YET. THIS WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE OR ARE WAITING FOR FATALITIES BEFORE INVESTIGATING.

POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE AT LOW SPEED. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO TRAVEL A SHORT DISTANCE AFTER BRAKES ARE FULLY DEPRESSED. CAUSED MINOR COLLISION WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND BEEN DEEMED TO BE OPERATING PROPERLY. SYMPTOMS ARE MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES REPEATEDLY; E.G. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR MAKING A MULTIPLE POINT TURN.

BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS. HAVE TO APPLY VERY HARD PRESSURE TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. SEVERAL VERY CLOSE CALLS RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

UNEXPECTED AND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. EVIDENT AT SLOW SPEED (WHEN BACKING). FIRST APPLICATION IS NORMAL, SECOND BRAKE APPLICATION IS POWER ASSIST IS REDUCED BY HALF, THIRD BRAKE APPLICATION HAS NO POWER BRAKE ASSIST. SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BACKING AS UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ASSIST CAN DAMAGE EQUIPMENT AND CAUSE INJURY.

LOSE POWER STEERING AND LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING AND STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN
