2022 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 Complaints

Message will appear that states : trailer brake system needs serviced “ When that appears and I am currently towing a trailer I lose all power to trailer including the brakes. I can’t signal I can’t use the trailer brakes. I’m towing 14,000 lbs and when I’m going down a 6% grade this is very dangerous. I have had vehicle in twice for this issue , first time I was told they replaced a controller, 2nd time they said no problems detected. For me to lose all power to tow vehicle is unacceptable and extremely dangerous

ATC LED Trailer running lights drop out after 2 or so hours of operation. The Trailer is being towed by a 2022 Silverado High Country 3500. I have had the Silverado into Serra Whelan Chevrolet to check the trucks trailer lighting system, said they thought it was the trailer, on 5/10/22. Talked with the service person there and he recommended I purchase a Curt resistance jumper plug part number 57003 because this is an issue with the truck not being able to see the low current drawing LED running lights. I bought the Curt part number 57003 and installed it between the truck and trailer plug. The running lights now drop our after about two hours of operation. I contacted Chevrolet customer service and started an issue # 9-10551955094 on 08/24/2023. Am going to try having Serra Whelan Chevrolet look at the trucks light circuit again. This is a serious safety issue, no trailer tail lights at night. This is an open issue not resolved by GM, I can only safely drive this trailer truck combination during the day, running lights drop out after around two hours of truck trailer operation...no solution has been found as yet.

The auto dimming mirrors have no shut off on them. At night they dim so much you can’t see out of the mirrors. This is so bad I quit driving this truck at night after jack knifing my trailer when my porch light dimmed my mirrors.

The contact stated no one was injured nor sought medical attention. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

I was following a vehicle at 3-4 car lengths at 35 MPH. The vehicle in front made an aggressive stop and although I immediately saw the incident, I could not stop in time with a full panic stop by pressing the brakes hard to the floor. My brakes felt greasy and even though I had enough separation, the truck did not decelerate much. I felt the anti-lock mechanism but it did not seem to slow the vehicle.
