| Exterior Lighting problems |
Trailer brakes and lights come and go. I start with having everything then loose brakes and lights when I’m driving. This is apparently a known issue that they have a fix for but I have never received anything about a recall.
There is an electrical / turn signal and trailering issue. Not towing- the right turn signal gives a rapid flash when the automatic headlights are activated or in off position. The rapid flash goes away when manual headlights are used both running lights and on. Although the light still works with a rapid blink, there is a dash error message and it’s impossible to know while driving if the error is real or not. This issue is intermittent when auto headlights are selected. Towing- bigger safety issue. The trailer lights only work properly when headlights are in auto mode and daylight. When it gets dark, the headlights turn on and error messages happen and trailer lights go out. There are also error messages when manual running lights or manual lights are activated. Thus it appears there is no way to tow an RV safely at night. This did not occur on my 2021 chevy 3500. These issues are wide spread but gm is doing nothing about it. Please help me, the other owners, and the public from these dangerous vehicles.
