The contact owns a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that when pulling a trailer with electric brakes with their vehicle, a warning light stating to check the trailer would illuminate on their instrument panel. The warning light would also state that the electric brakes had disconnected and then reconnected shortly after. The failure would occur on a consistent basis. The main control computer system in the center where the radio is located would flash the message that the trailer brake gain not been recalled. The contact contacted the dealer who confirmed that the computer system was known to have an issue due to the interference between the electric brakes and the LAD lights on the vehicle, however, there was no recall. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.

As I was driving out of the parking lot my power steering suddenly was lost. A message appeared on the screen saying: Service Power Steering Drive with care and an esc message. A light also appeared. I was not able to steer at all and had to turn the truck off. I tried multiple times. After 5 minutes the message cleared as did the light. A day later (today- 4/19)the same thing happened in the parking lot. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I have an appointment with the dealer. When looking up this problem it appears there are multiple recalls on other 2021 models but not the Sierra though I see many complaints about the same problem on the Sierra's. This is not safe and needs to be looked into further.

My truck shakes/shutters at random times. while steadily driving at constant speed and/ or shakes/shutters even more when I try to accelerate.
