Brakes Failed Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 3500

My trailer braking system gives off warnings that it's not connected to the trailer when I don't have the trailer connected. But I was towing my trailer and as I stepped on the break it was giving me that warning and the brake system was failing to engage on the trailer I reviewed this on forums and everybody is having this problem it has been going on from about 2011 on the Chevrolet and GMC's for GMC and Chevrolet says there is no problem people have switched out the dashboard switch and it returns it comes and goes as a problem.

While driving at about 35 mph, I had to stop for a garbage truck doing a trash pickup. When I applied the brakes on my pickup, the brakes totally failed and I nearly drove another car into the back of the garbage truck. That averted crash would certainly have killed the car's driver. I avoided a crash by a rapid turn into the oncoming lane just as a car coming toward me cleared the opposing lane. My truck has been maintained professionally and the brake failure was a great shock to me. My truck is a 2007 chevy Silverado 3500 dually.

Parking brake failed to hold truck stationary during inspection. We tried to adjust pedal following the gm service manual and brake still would not hold. Removed rear brake rotors and found lining on shoes worn off. Replaced shoes, hardware, and rotor. Checked cables and actuators for shoes. Assembled, adjusted and burnished shoes as per service manual, brake still would not hold truck on grade inspection was conducted on. Adjusted shoes until they were dragging on drums and could finally get brakes to hold truck. The dragging shoes will be worn off in a matter of days and the brake will not work. Our company has seven trucks with this same style parking brake and they will not hold even an empty truck days after leaving our shop. I know of the recall for manual transmission trucks and it should be carried over to all silverado trucks.
