Purchased new, Dec 24, 2019. Current odometer 645miles. The vehicle was parked for about 15 minutes, when I returned to my truck and turned it on, multiple warning tones began to sound and the dashboard was illuminated with multiple warning lights (abs, traction control, check engine, parking brake) and messages reading: "brake system failure 62mph top speed," �service trailer brake system,� �steering assist is reduced drive with care,� �service esc. � I turned the vehicle off and on multiple times over the course of 20 minutes, exiting the vehicle, locking the doors, unlocking the doors, and starting the process from the beginning. I decided I wouldn't be driving over 62mph as I was only 2 miles from my home, so I decided to back out and drive home with full intentions of calling the dealership in the morning. When I tried to back out I realized that I had almost zero braking power, having to almost stand up on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle without giving it any gas, and turning was difficult (similar to manual steering in a vintage vehicle). I knew driving home would not be safe. I turns the vehicle off and on once more and all the warning messages and lights were no longer there. The check engine light remained on and is still on. I was able to drive home as though nothing happened, but am fearful this will happen while driving down the road, especially while my children are in the car.

This is absolutely unacceptable and will result in injuries and deaths if gm does not resolve the issue.

On April 2, 2019 I parked brefily for about 30 minutes. Upon re-entering my 2019 GMC sierra truck with approximately 4500 miles and starting the engine I immediately received multiple warning messages on my dash panel. They were "service esc" "service trailer brake", "brake system failure" "steering assist reduced" and to drive no faster than 62 mph. Previously prior to parking I had never had any problems whatsoever. I was in a location where I needed to go so I attempted to drive but found quickly that the brake pedel went all the way to the floor with very limited or basically no braking. The steering became very difficult with no apparent power assist. I drove it approximately two miles and got to a location where I could park. I turned the engine off and back on and the problem did not go away. I turned it off again and waited a couple of minutes and then heard an automated couple of clunk sounds from the front. . I started it up and everything was okay except the check engine light was on and stayed on the rest of evening. The next morning the check engine light was still on however about twenty minutes later I noticed it was off and everything has been fine since. I had planned to take it to the GMC dealer however with no problem showing now and from past experience with the dealerships I decided there was no need to schedule an appointment until the symptoms come back. I found on the internet later that there are numerous instances where this has happened to many other 2019 GMC sierra owners. I feel that this is a extremely serious problem that needs immediate attention especially with the near total braking system failure!.
