2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

While pulling my camper trailer the brake controller failed. It would turn on an alarm (visually) and ring an audio alarm. Every time it would come on, I would stop on the highway and recheck the trailer connection and that was Ok. Every time that I get this alarm, I have no trailer brakes. This has happened for the last 3 years. This happens at any speed and in any road conditions and weather. My trailer is 9000# and without brakes it could be dangerous to stop. especially in an emergency situation. My dealer says it can't find anything wrong with the truck. I went on line to find some solutions to the problem and found out that this is quite common. People were saying that we should report this, so here it is. I have replaced the plug on the trailer and the truck with no luck. The dealer is presently replacing the TRAILER BRAKE MODULE. Thats about $1000. I think it should be fixed for free.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH and shifting into the 2nd gear, the vehicle delayed while shifting, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but offered no assistance. The contact was informed that the warranty had expired. The failure mileage was 69,971.

The rear seatbelts retract very slowly and now most of the time not at all. Along with that they only intermittently catch when I pull hard and quick, like when in an accident. These 2 issues with the seatbelts pose a huge safety risk and I cannot put my daughter in the back seat.

Hit a deer about 50mph air bags went off cab filled with smoke but air bags did not deploy only the charge went off

The truck, with only 77,700 miles on it, suddenly started popping the error "Service Trailer Brake System" and no trailer was even attached at the time. It happened three times over the last day when starting the truck and initially driving for about the first 10 minutes. Other times it does not ding or show an error. Something in the integrated trailer brake system is faulty and appears to be a EXTREMELY COMMON issue on the Chevrolet trucks. When this error happens, there is no power to the electric trailer brakes. I tow a 33' 12,000 lbs fifth-wheel with this truck. Randomly not having trailer brakes is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! This is an EXTREMELY COMMON issue with the integrated brake controllers in the Chevrolet trucks and it needs to be a RECALL and repaired by Chevrolet. Randomly not having brakes on a heavy trailer is LIFE ENDANGERING for not only the occupants of the truck having the SAFETY ISSUE but for everyone else on the roadway around that truck!

My 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is now throwing a SERVICE TRAILER WIRING SYSTEM on the dash with nothing plugged into the 7way. Brakes do work on trailer and a dinging is present when hooked up but now the issue is on the truck without trailer being hooked up.

I was driving my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and towing my thirty foot travel trailer I suddenly received a banner on the center of my dash to "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM" at which time I lost power to my trailer brakes. Not only did I lose power to my trailer brakes for the remainder of my trip but I also had to listen to a dinging noise for over 2 hours while driving. Between the brakes not working and the non stop distraction from the dinging, I did not feel safe at all along with worrying about my wife and kids who were also in the vehicle.

onstar/GPS system has failed and the built in navigational system shows that there is no GPS signal. There is also water leaking by the drivers side sun visor and above the parking brake. There were no warning signs of the problem with the GPS or onstar system other than when onstar was needed for emergency use it was unavailable and the built in navigation system was unable to be used because it showed up that GPS was unavailable.

SIZE 265-70-18, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON IH-20, TOWING A 13,000LB 5TH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER. EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN CONTINUOUS VIBRATION AS IF THERE WAS A KNOT ON A TIRE. PULLED OFF OF ROAD AND DISCOVERED LEFT REAR TIRE HAD SEPARATED AND WAS OUT OF ROUND. TIRE DID NOT LOSE AIR PRESSURE, AND DID NOT BLOW OUT.

I purchased this truck from a private seller due to its capacity to tow. After driving it for one day, an alert came up on the dashboard display saying "Service: Trailer Brake System". So I hit "Dismiss", but the alert keeps coming on and it is very intermittent and very distracting. Sometimes the alarm chime will continue for several seconds causing the driver to take their eyes off the road which is dangerous, but also, who knows what will happen when towing a trailer. I've looked it up online and this is an issue with many owners of the truck so Chevrolet should do a recall and provide a fix for this.
