I was in an accident on October 20th 2022 while driving home. U had just reached the top of a sharp crest on a two way road. As I started to straighten out the wheels coming out of the turn I noticed my direction was still as if I was turning the wheel. I tried to brake and pressed the brake but it went to the floor and the truck kept going. I collided with the other vehicle and it was a miracle neither of us were seriously injured or killed. We had problem with the steering box about 2 years ago and had to have it towed to the dealership. The other vehicle was a chevy 2500 with a custom steel flat bed & it slowed me down and I finally came to a stop with the front tires off the road. Neither vehicle alerted onstar & airbags did not deploy. His vehicle miraculously had minimal damage to the cab the majority of the damage was the metal gear box located under the bed in between the cab & tires. It was super scary & left both vehicles disabled.
Service trailer brake warning comes on repeatedly. Trailer brakes fail to work.
Service trailer brake system warning blinking while driving, it happened couple of time on highway, I couldn't take a pic, this is a headache.
Ok my issues is the same recall on many other 2017 GMC 2500hd but not my VIN. Recall number n172120230 (rear wheel hub but loose). In my situation I was driving at low speed went to stop and abs light came on from oil on my rotator, I also heard a knock from the rear wheel. I pulled over and looked under the truck to find my axel seal leaking fluid all over my tire and breaks. I looked into the facebook form on this problem and found many people with the same issue. Had the truck towed to the dealer where the are refusing to repair and not coving under warranty for 1” bigger tires. My truck only has 39,000 miles and a axel seal should not be going out, and if so should be covered.
When connect my trailer I get a service trailer brake system, then the stability waring start to show up and the brakes on the vehicle seem to act funny. Very unsafe while towing a trailer and kids in the truck. Very unsafe.
Break lights activate by them selves. Can be driving, parked, vehicle off. Parked and locked. The break lights activate randomly. Most recently car was parked in drivevway over the coarse of 2 days. Break lights came on and off until batteries were dead. When parked I can hear clicking noise coming from under the hood periodically, not sure if related or not. Also noticed cruise control will shut its self off some times.
Took truck in for first oil change. I had several problems including the back tires being over 50% worn out. Alignment was off and dealer repaired that and rotated the tires. Now when I stop at about 5 mph the truck jumps. I removed the abs fuse and problem goes away. Dealer states there is no warranty on tires even if they wear out in 6000 miles and the problem was the vehicle wasn't put together properly the first time. If the roads were covered with snow I would be in real trouble. Normal highway travel around town.
