Filed Jan 3, 2017 · Brakes, Electrical · 67,000 miles · FL

Failure of cruise control and trailer braking system while braking. Issue was a break in the wiring harness under the dash causing a short. Broken wire still had insulator in tact as if new. This seems to be an issue due to type or undersized wire as this is the second harness failure on the truck

Body control modulator went out and I was driving with break lights on which is hard to tell until I figured out my cruise control wasn't working. Dangerous! Also, throttle body position sensor went out and shut my engine down to low power mode while I was driving on the highway. Also very dangerous!! Also realized this was a common problem among many people online.

Driving 65 on cruise control when check engine, stability control lights came on. Message center said reduced power I got to a small service garage and he told me I should shut it off wait 15 minutes and it will reset and it did. I drove another 80 miles again the same thing happened. The first garage guy told me it was a gm issue and I should go see them they should repair it. He said it was a problem with the throttle body assembly and in the cold it get sluggish and gm should fix it because they had problems with some of them. It happened again 20 miles later. I got back to the gm dealer where I purchased it he confirmed it was they throttle body assembly but didn't have time to replace it. He offered to clean it (free of charge) and sent me on my way telling me if it happened again I should make an appointment to replace (approx. 400-600 dollars). I done some investigating on this matter and found this was a common issue. I stopped at another gm dealer and explained my problem he confirmed the original theory checked the VIN # and told me gm is fixing this problem for 10 years from the original purchase date. I guess I need to stop buying from my original gm dealer where I had purchased my last two vehicles. I have not had a problem with it again but I have only driven 600 miles since then.
