1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2025

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the abs and traction control warning lights illuminated, and the message " check trailer brakes” was displayed. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the braking system randomly activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly decelerate. On several occasions while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to immediately stop, causing the braking distance to be extended by approximately 8 feet. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the abs module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 85,000.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2022

Constantly getting a message and beeping to service my trailer brake system while in park and driving. I’ve never used this before for towing any trailers or anything. This message and beeping cause a distraction and I find it to be dangerous. And the fact I’ve never used this is quite annoying.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2020

We have a 2017 GMC Canyon diesel with 56570 miles on it. While we were driving down the street (it was raining) going about 30 miles an hour and all of the sudden the "service stabilitrak" censor came on am it instantly put the brake on. We turned the truck on and off. Over and over letting it sit for more that a minute completely and still nothing. . . . We were down the street from our house and my husband had to push it home. This could have been such a dangerous situation 😳 there happened to be no one behind us but it was so abrupt that if we did they most definitely wouldn't have had time to stop and crashed right into us. I will be calling GMC in the morning but we were definitely grateful we made it home safely though pushing a truck through the rain up hill was not fun for my husband. We have read up on this and was completely surprised how many people have had this same problem. You definitely should have something put out for this letting people know. . . . This is crazy gm has either basically ignored this or simply does not care for safety. I absolutely love my truck but this truly disappoints me I hope we are not put in the same situation as all these other folks who were put through the ringer with no result for this issue!.
