Service Brakes problem #1

When driving sometimes, the abs light is illuminated along with the traction control and stabilitrak lights. The dic says service traction control and stabilitrak. This issue needs to be fixed immediately as this is a safety issue.

Service Brakes problem #2

At least once a month gives a false trailer braking error and the truck brakes itself, dash dies, driver loses control over the vehicle. It is a risk of crashing or being hit because the truck stops itself in the middle of driving without brake lights coming on to alert other drivers. No way to overcome this - can't hit the gas pedal, etc. It seems to think that you are hauling a trailer and it thinks the trailer is swaying. . . Problem is this truck has never towed a trailer even one time. . . It's completely false. But also very dangerous.

Service Brakes problem #3

The service stabilitrak/traction control come on (abs) at random times when driving. The truck begins to shift hard and lose power as I am driving making it very dangerous on the road especially at close proximity to other vehicles. I have taken it in and nothing can be found or done because they can't seem to find the problem. The truck has 73,000 miles on it. I am beyond frustrated and scared to drive it on the freeway because I never know when it will come up; it has been happening once a week (sometimes two) since June 2021. I just don't understand how gm allows this to happen and not fix the problem; it is clearly a danger on the road for myself, family, and others. Please look into this as I have read so many situations of other owners of gm models dealing with this disaster!.
