When connected to a trailer with trailer brakes, the driver information center displays a message check trailer brakes when I apply the brakes. After usually the 3rd brake application the driver information center displays a message-Trailer Brake Disabled. Local certified chevy dealer tested the brake components on a computer and verified it is the truck that has issues. They also stated there is no fix at this time and that Chevrolet has known about the issue. Our dealership said to drive it without them, that is irresponsible. My vehicle is available for inspection at any time. This is very dangerous and the truck should not be driven while towing a trailer. This is a continuous issue and not intermittent.
When connected to a trailer with trailer brakes, the driver information center displays a message check trailer brakes when I apply the brakes.

I had several issues prior to this incident where certain sensors and features were not operating. The incident occurred while I was driving on the highway, I randomly lost my braking ability and my dash lit of saying my brakes had failed. I then tried to push on the brakes and even push the e brake button and got no response. Fortunately, there was no traffic as I was going 75 mph and could’ve been killed. I had to coast to a stop.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after purchasing the vehicle the rear trailer brake system was deactivated by the dealer and the contact was instructed not to tow a trailer with the vehicle. The contact was informed that the trailer brake system was faulty, and a fix was not yet available. The contact indicated that the rear parking assist was also inoperable due to a chip shortage and the audible alarm would not operate when needed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9.
One week prior to the incident my engine had a loud ticking/knocking noise when starting up especially on a cold start, one night before thanksgiving driving to California I had my truck on cruise control 80mph when suddenly without any warning the engine shut off! My touch screen and speed gauge were still on I tried pulling over as quickly as I can with my emergency flashers on, I was almost side struck by trailers passing by me doing so! My truck got towed to the nearest Chevy dealer where I was told it was an electrical issue at first, then 3 hours after that call the service team called again telling me they have found metal engine shavings and pieces in my engine while draining my engine oil. Service team told me they contacted GM for a new engine replacement and my truck will be in their shop for a month waiting for delivery and working on my truck. All this damage because of the AFM DFM feature in V8 engines and it happening at 7,000 miles it’s unacceptable.
My 2022 Silverado is affected by a couple different electronic safety issues. The first one has to do with the trailering system. When I have trailer connected that has electronic brakes on it, the vehicle gives an error message and then shuts the break control off. When this happens the trailer does not assist the truck in breaking when the pedal is pressed. The truck has to do all the work to stop not only itself, but the weight of the trailer as well. I found this out while towing my camper that weighs approximately 7500lbs. This is very dangerous and unsafe. The GM dealership has verified this issue and gave me a bulletin that came from GM that states that they are aware of the issue and they do not no what is causing it or how to fix it. I also have issues with my smaller trailers that have no brakes. When connected, the vehicle will give me random error messages about the trailer lighting. When this happens the trailer lights flash without me pressing the brakes or using turnsignals. This also is a huge safety issue. People following me may not know if I am turning or stopping, which could lead to an accident. The dealership also confirmed this issue and they believe it may be tied to the other issue outlined in GMs bulletin. The bulletin doesn't say anything about trailer lights, so the dealership has no clue on what is causing it or how to fix it. The last issue is with the back up camera. It goes out periodically while backing up. This can lead to me hitting someone or something that I may not see in my mirrors. My vehicle is a truck and is pretty large. The backup camera is there to help in backing safety. The dealership did confirm this issue with a code in the computer, but they couldn't get it to replicate while it was in the shop so they are unable to get solution to fix it. I have to wait until it completely goes bad or GM releases a bulletin. I know I'm not the only one with this issue. It is documented on a few forums. I have a case with GM.
While towing a 7500lb trailer the trailer brakes quit working. The module says trailer brakes disconnected. Servive teailer brakes. Gm dealer diagnosed, said they are aware of the problem. Issued a bulletin PIT5948A. But there is no fix available. This could kill someone.
Truck was less than a month old and one day would not start due to a dead battery. After putting a battery charger on the truck, I got it started. Drove it for a bit and had warnings appear in the cluster saying functions are shutting down to conserve battery power. I then received an e-mail from OnStar indicating their is an issue with the airbags and to have the dealership look at this within 1 day. Truck was brought to the dealership the next day. After almost 2 weeks, a GM engineer had to get involved to diagnose why the Forward Collision module was shorting out which caused the battery to drain. The day after is was allegedly fixed, the light came on again in the cluster. The very next day, the brake pedal went rock hard when I tried starting the truck but could not start it since it appeared the truck did not recognize the brake being pressed on. After about 10 minutes of trying to start the truck, it did start. As far as earlier stated about the airbag warning, the dealership said it was a glitch in OnStar trying to do an update which may have shorted out the Forward Collision module. Well, the truck is in for repair again for the same problem. In addition, the truck will lock randomly with the key fob inside the truck. This even happened at the dealership when the service advisor was checking my truck in the first time. I truly believe there is a serious electrical issue going on with this truck and feel unsafe driving it not knowing what might shut down, not work, air bags being deployed for no reason, or not being able to avoid a collision.
Was driving and all the lights came on check engine light, ABS, parking brake light and traction control all came on at once. The RMP went up and wouldn’t shift gears and We wasnt able to stop or even steer. The steering wheel got really hard. We turned the truck off and turned it back on all the lights went off expect the check engine light. Once we got home we turned off again and turned it back on and the check engine light came off. I also have a video of everything happening just wasn’t able to load.

The vehicle failed to shift to park(P) once the vehicle was turned off. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired.
