While coming to a stop in turn lane, brake assist light came on. Intermittent issue. After couple days of experiencing, I take truck in to find out about recall. They perform reprogramming. Doesn't fix issue. Tell me I have to pay diagnostic fee. Thy find vacuum pump needs replacing. They covered cost under "special coverage" because they know it's faulty (but not covered already under recall?). They say it's fixed. I pick the truck up, brake assist light comes on driving out the parking lot. Take it back next day. They tell me "pin" in the connector is broken causing "ground fault." they charge me $500+ to run new wire in wire harness. Same connector that would have to be touched while replacing vacuum pump. I pay to have pin fixed. 3 weeks later, brake assist light comes back on with same exact symptoms. This time, they tell me ecbm need to be replaced. Not just reprogrammed. Somehow, the prior times, the error code wasn't stored. A) errors aren't being stored b) they're covering their warranty cost by charging for other adjacent parts c) brake assist issue going on for nearly 8 weeks now unresolved. They need to expand their recall to include adjacent "connectors" which the dealer admits hardly ever fail. Also should include vacuum pump not just as special coverage. Also, recall should expand to replace ecbm because apparently they aren't storing fault codes when they occur. I read this same thing across many forum posts online. All the same issues. Hard braking, or soft mechanical brake feel. I've now spent 1100 dollars on a problem that falls squarely within the description of the recall. They tell me that "these parts" aren't covered under the recall. I say, expand the recall. Recall states they don't have to include this in sec filings. I think they are under representing their true costs. My gm case #9-5696419690

Al these lights came on out of no where one cold day. Steering assist, ABS, break. Also service trailer brake, service stabilitrak. I went online there are so many people with the exact issue. Recall your mistake and fix your problem. Don't screw the customer. I locked up my brakes because the car in front of me and I almost hit them due to my ABS not working I fish tailed sideways. It's a matter of time before someone is hurt. It is a big issue many people have spoke about. I also explained to the guy when I scheduale the recall to be fixed and he said that my lights out a different issue the recall is just a program update for something with the brakes. Then I bring it there 45min later they cant update the truck and complete the recall due to the lights on in the truck!!! I'm just upset I explained everything before appointment and still got screwed. Also after looking there is a lot of people with the exact problem as me.. Weird

Stability track warning, ABS and brake light warning all appeared on same day after moving from parking spot and turning out. Cruise control not working. Power steering is strained.

Trailer brake control module light illuminated in the dash. This may cause the vehicle to be inoperable unexpectedly. This part may be associated with a reprogramming issue that was on another recall. Customer is burdened with repair costs and the module is in high demand as part of a 'national recall'. I have been waiting 6 weeks for the back ordered part. I was told it was delayed as result of a labor strike.
