The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the brake and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the electronic control module and the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that they would follow up with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 70,800.

Incredible amount of frame rust. Vehicle only has 22500 miles but has extensive frame rust and front sway bar frame separation. Also heavily rusted brake lines. I have already replaced transmission shifter pawl and transmission cooling lines. I see widely posted occurrence on youtube & social media. I do not understand why gm is getting a pass on these horrible product issues. No listed recalls on site.

Steering angle sensor is faulty. This is an integral part of the vehicle safety systems, including ABS, and traction/ stability control. How can this part be no longer manufactured after only 9 years? All safety controls shut off while vehicle is in motion.

I own a '09 chevrolet silverado 2500 pickup with an integrated trailer brake controller. My driver information center gave me a warning "service trailer brake system". I took the truck to the dealer and was told that the ABS/stability control module was defective and needed to be replaced. They said it was on backorder from gm. It turns out that gm has no ABS control modules (part#25802684) in the entire country! With this module being bad it cuts power to the trailer brakes. You end up with no brakes on any trailer you tow that has electric brakes. This is an extremely dangerous situation. I was lucky that my trailer was not connected at the time of the fault. If I had been towing my camper and lost braking power to it, the result could have been catastrophic. Gm has no fix for this. I and every other owner (a lot) are stuck with no parts to fix this problem. Please investigate why gm let their stock in the entire country go to zero on such a critical safety related part. Thank you

I have a 2009 chevrolet silverado 1500. The brake system went out and the dealers refuse to do anything because it is out of warranty. I did some research and found that the 2009 chevrolet silverado on many trucks have had problems. I have another 2009 chevrolet silverado with 26,000 miles with the same problem...updated 05-26-15 *bf updated 7/6/2015*js updated 11/4/2015

While driving the stabilitrak light came on and then the ABS light. It stayed on, so I took it to a mechanic who determined it was the brake switch and he replaced it. It has been fine until recently, when it came on again and my brake lights were sticking on, so I replaced the brake switch again. So, far it's stayed off. My concern is that my truck my start having the same issues as our other gm vehicle, which also involves the stabilitrak/traction control/reduced power lights coming on. Reduced power is dangerous while driving, especially on the interstate in heavy traffic. I have read gm forums and have found that this problem has been happening as far back as 6 years, and gm still has not figured out how to fix it.

The brakes on this silverado do not release. You have to press the gas about half way down then they will "pop" and become free all at once lunging the vehicle forward. You then have to press the brake again due to the amount of throttle applied. Once applied again the brakes will lock up and the process repeats itself. This is what happens when in traffic. If the vehicle is traveling 20 MPH or under when foot is not on the accelerator the truck will apply the brakes on its own pulsing and surging. This is a very dangerous situation when in traffic and trying to navigate through parking lots and roads with pedestrians.
