1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2025

As I was driving I heard a loud slam under my hood and when I checked the clutch for my ac compressor was gone. The ac no longer works and I have no idea where the parts went. When I looked this up it appears to be a common issue.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2021

Driving my truck, without a trailer, the "service trailer brakes soon" fault came on my truck. This is a known problem that gm is aware of with their itbc system for years & have done selective recalls for. This a hazard to the motoring public. There is no warning when this fault happens while pulling a trailer & when it does pop up, you lose all trailer brakes. I had the same problem with my 2010 silverado, after numerous visits to the dealership & thousands of dollars & filed complaints with gm & NHTSA, nothing was done. When taken to the dealership, if the fault isn't on the screen, they claim they can't find or fix the problem. I pull a 10,000 pound 5th wheel, I need trailer brakes when I apply them.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2017

Driving vehicle abs and skid warning lights appears, brake system warning appears always lit while in towing mode. None stop beeping. No reason why this is happening. Had vehicle checked by multiple Chevrolet dealerships and they have changed sensors, towing plug twice, electrical rewiring. Began towing 1 hour after repairs and the same problems began all over again. No changes have been noticed $2700. 00 later.
