The contact owns a 2019 GMC Sierra LD equipped with 22” GMC tires but the spare tires are 17”. The contact stated that General Motors (GM) was recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Silverado 1500 vehicles equipped with certain accessory road tires and a 17" spare tire. The 17" spare tire provided with the vehicle was not compatible for use with the accessory wheels, which can cause the anti-lock brake system (ABS) to not function properly under certain conditions. As a result, the contact was concerned that the ABS could potentially fail on his vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the concern and the contact was advised to call the federal safety agency Hotline. The contact had not experienced a failure.

After using app to start the vehicle, I sat in the driver seat depressed the brake and pushed the start button. Immediately a warning popped up saying ESC needed service, service trailer brake, speed limited to 62mph. Additional lights illuminated including brake, traction control, ABS, and cel. Since the dash indicated that the speed was reduced I thought it would be safe to drive, however at the first turn I realized my brakes were nearly gone and I went through the intersection. The brakes appeared to have lost the boost and were extremely hard to depress making it difficult to stop the vehicle. I limped the truck home and notified the dealer. The next day I tried starting the truck and the brakes returned with no dash messages although the cel was still illuminated. There is a recall for a similar issue but it looks like my VIN is not apart of it.

The vehicle was in for replacement back up camera module and the dealer stated that the fix for the active brake system failure recall was completed. After starting the vehicle in a parking lot, several messages displayed in the driver information center: brake system failure 62 MPH top speed, service ESC, service trailer brake system, service brake assist. Additionally, several warning lights for the ABS, parking brake, tcs, check engine light, etc were illuminated. After acknowledging the messages, I placed the vehicle in reverse and noticed that the brakes needed to be pressed with full weight on them to get the vehicle to stop. I placed the vehicle in drive to park back in space and the same issue with the brakes persisted. I turned the vehicle on and off 4 times and the messages finally stopped displaying and the brakes appeared to work as they normally should, although the check engine light remained lit. The vehicle was driven to the dealership and no resolution has been given for the issue to date.
