I was driving to work in snowy conditions and on a very slight bend on a flat public highway my truck starting sliding and as i turned the wheel and applied the brakes the usual action of antilock brakes did not work as intended allowing me to steer clear of the obstacle causing me to wreck.2018 gmc sierra 1500
4 messages appeared on digital dash while driving. service esc, brake system failure 62 mph top speed, service trailer brake system, steering assist reduced. i had to press brake pedal to the floor with extremely excessive force to get truck to stop. note that none of the 4 messages state the vehicle will be extremely difficult to stop or shouldn't be driven, but rather the vehicle wouldn't exceed 62 mph. it should have reduced the speed to much less, maybe 10 to 15 mph. this failure could have easily resulted in vehicle accident, or even a fatality accident. i doubt i will ever carry my family in the truck again due to this and i certainly will not allow my children to drive the truck.
Started truck and many services lights came on service esc, brakes lights, steering lights all warnings. on star called and said i had a brake failure. i was backing out of driveway and could hardly stop the truck as i was approaching the road
My pickup started, i pulled out on road and sped up to 35 mph, when i stepped on brakes to slow down they were unresponsive, so i began pumping. they felt very hard to pump and were not slowing the truck down. lights came on saying service brakes etc. as i coasted to try to slow down off side of road. i had to keep pumping the brakes down to floorboard and i'm not sure they were even working as i coasted safely off side of road to a stop, i turned engine off immediately calling my dealership service department. i wouldn't drive it any further as i felt i had no brakes whatsoever. dealership had it towed to their shop. the next afternoon i spoke with them. they stated it was a known issue and that a recall had been issued (see recall number below) but i never received it. i did receive a seat belt recall so i know they have my correct address. i was told it was some problem with a module and i can come puck truck up. it was scary when it happened. i purchased this pickup new on august 21, 2019. recall number: recall-n192268090 (per dealership service department)

I had no issues with my truck until i went and had the most recent recall done for the brakes. i since have had brake issues twice. once, hours after having the recall done i got in my truck and started it and all the dashboard lights were illuminated and i had to push the brake pedal to the floor after accelerating. the other instance was a week later after remote starting my truck from the phone application had the same scenario play out.
Dear nhtsa, i recently leased a 2019 gmc sierra pickup truck. this truck is currently in the shop for the 6th time, and neither gm or the local dealership can seem to fix anything on this truck. most recently, as yesterday i had my car in for the braking system. the dealership called me and said my truck was fixed. as i turned my truck on, the brake system light came on. i was told by the dealership to just drive it and it will go away. i do not feel this is a good/safe practice and gm is not helping me to get out of this unsafe truck.

New truck, gmc 1500 denali, 1100 miles, started vehicle with multiple warning sounds & warning lights, dash says "brake system failure 62mph top speed", service trailer brake system", steering assist is reduced drive with care" service esc", braking was completely reduced & needed hard press on brake to try and get vehicle to stop. very diminished braking. vehicle was stationary in a parking lot when this happened on restart.
On two occasions the vehicle lost the power brakes function. numerous dash alerts stating including "service esc" "brake system failure 62mph top speed" "service trailer brake system" "steering assist is reduced drive with care" along with a check engine light. the brakes pedal had to be pushed to the floor to slowly come to a stop. both times were in a parking lot. one of which times i was moving. dec 26th and again on jan 16th 2019. the vehicle was towed to the dealership on both incidents.
I own a 2019 gmc sierra denali 1500 crew cab. after starting my vehicle and beginning my journey home. sever warning indications of problems came on my dashboard system. while driving, the brake failure indicator illuminated and the vehicle would not immediately stop when depressing the brake pedal. also, several warning indicators illuminated, including the power steering, service esc, brake system failure 62 mph top speed, steering assist is reduced drive with care, service trailer brake system, abs, and trailer towing warning message indicating that the vehicle would not accelerate above 62 mph. in addition, the steering wheel became extremely difficult to turn in either direction.
When i tried to drive my truck i received the below error messages and lights on my dash board: steering assist reduced drive with care service trailer brake service esc brake system failure - 62 mph top speed abs check engine brake traction control i dropped the truck off at the gmc dealer for two days, i picked it up and it was fine. i was told it was a software update. then 7 days later i had the same errors messages and lights on my dash board. and this time it was extremely hard to stop the truck. i needed to press down all the way to stop the truck.
Brand new truck, at4, 15k miles, 5 months old. was very cold today outside, was in a store and started vehicle remotely. came outside to a running vehicle, sat in drivers seat and pressed start button. noticed multiple warning sounds/lights, dash read "brake system failure 62mph top speed", service trailer brake system", steering assist is reduced drive with care" service esc". the abs, check engine, brake and traction control lights were also illuminated. i immediately called my local gmc dealer (who is 5 miles away) and read them all the messages and asked if the vehicle was safe to drive to their location. after a brief hold, the service tech stated the vehicle was safe to drive over. i attempted to drive the vehicle out onto rt6. while still in the parking lot, traveling approx 10-15mph i was barely able to stop the vehicle. it took my full power on the peddle to stop, and approximate 20-30 feet of distance before it stopped fully. i immediately called the service tech back and informed her that the vehicle was not safe to drive with 5% or so break capacity. she provided the gm number for roadside assistance. the truck was towed to their shop a short time ago and i am awaiting their feedback. on a side note, i waited in the truck as i did not want to shut it down, i wanted the service tech to see exactly what was on the screen. after about 30 mins, with me in the drivers seat with the keys, the truck shut itself off. when it restarted the messages were gone, but the check engine light remained. luckily i took photos and video recorded this issue prior to. the loss of brakes for any issue should be treated with the uttermost care for safety of the general public. this seemly known issue will (if not already) result in injury or death if not corrected quickly.
Took my truck for a recall at the gmc dealer yesterday for both seatbelt tensioner and to update the brake system. after that earlier today after a red light i got a bunch of warning lights. the warning lights for brake system failure, service esc, traction control off, and service trailer brake system came on. brakes all of a sudden got really weak almost crashed had to brake way earlier than i need to and drive slow. truck was running great until i got the recall done.
Brand new 2019 gmc sierra at4, just under 14k miles. upon starting the truck, the following warnings came on. "brake system failure 62mph top speed", service trailer brake system", steering assist is reduced drive with care" service esc" check engine" i turned the trick off, opened and closed my door, then restarted. upon restart, everything was gone, no warnings. approximately 1.5 miles later i was at highway speeds (70mph) when all the messages returned. i attempted to brake but there was no response, pedal went nearly to the floor. i only survived the incident by shifting into manual, downshifting to engine brake, and standing on the what i'm guessing was 5 or 10 percent brake pedal. luckily there was an empty lane for me to do this in.
Brand new truck, denali, 10k miles, started vehicle with multiple warning sounds/lights, dash read "brake system failure 62mph top speed", service trailer brake system", steering assist is reduced drive with care" service esc", power steering was very tough to steer, braking was super reduced with full weight on brake to try and get vehicle to stop. have 3 children under 3 years of age and not acceptable gmc.
I have had the 2019 sierra 1500 at4 with 6.2 liter engine in the shop (8) times since purchasing it in late aug 2019 for multiple issues, including the issues relating to the brake software recall. this resulted in me rolling through a stop sign without any brakes. luckily there was no oncoming traffic. as an engineer, i have no confidence that the issue has been fixed long term by gm. my family will no longer ride in the truck with me. as a result, i have retained an attorney for the purpose of filing suit against gm for selling me an unsafe lemon. even further concerning is the fact that on (2) occasions the parking brake has engaged while driving down the highway at 55 mph. one time while in 4wd in snow, and the other time while in 2wd on dry pavement. the first time there was a diagnostic code associated with the parking brake engaging randomly. the second time, there was no diagnostic code present. the first issue with braking began 11/14/2019, and the most recent issue occurred on 2/2/2020 even after all recall "fixes" have been applied. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 gmc sierra 1500. while exiting a fuel station in reverse and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop immediately. the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, but the failure continued. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact called orange buick gmc (located at 3883 w colonial dr, orlando, fl 32808, (407) 680-2090) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 6,500. the vin was not available.
Random intermittent vehicle brake failure. i have experienced random brake failure for 45 minutes at a time on my sierra. no codes or warnings are shown when it happens. occurs while driving, and random. condition creates an extremely hard peddle with extremely reduced braking power. safe stopping distance is increased at least 3 fold. vehicle brakes will start working again if truck is left parked and ignition off after 30 minutes. i brought the truck into the servicing dealer, they drove it 30 miles and a week later, gm instructed me to pick my truck back up after no repairs do to they could not duplicate. i expressed extreme concern about safety, and gm stance is, "no codes no problem". i was instructed by gm to simply bring it back in when my brakes fail again. 2 weeks later, my brakes failed again, creating a dangerous situation. once again, the truck corrected itself after sitting with the ignition off for 30 minutes. i brought it back to the dealer, and they drove it and "could not duplicate customer concern" once again. once again i was instructed to bring the truck back in when the brakes fail during their open business hours so that they can see it for themselves. this is an extremely dangerous condition, and this truck should be off the road and concerning to gm, but it is not. through research, i have found many other people with the same truck year and model with the same problems, and gm is negligent towards our safety and the innocent people on the road. this new "e-boost" braking system needs to be investigated before my family or others are killed or injured by this defective system. brake failure occurred both times when attempting slowing down for curves and stopped traffic at highway speeds and persisted at all conditions until it reset itself after sitting off for 30 minutes.
I started my car and i had 4 messages appear on the dash stating(service esc, service trailer brake, brake system failure-62 mph top speed and steering assist reduced drive with care). i attempted to drive the vehicle in my neighborhood and noticed that i had lost power steering and when i went to brake there was a delayed response. it took the vehicle approximately 4 to 5 feet to come to a stop after braking. also the abs, check engine, brake and traction control lights were illuminated. i immediately tried to drive back home and when i drove in to my driveway, i smashed on the brakes and i almost drove through my garage because the vehicle would not stop immediately. i tried to press my onstar button for road assistance and lost all electrical power. i contacted onstar with my phone and had the vehicle towed to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle. currently the vehicle is there being diagnosed for the problem.

June 27th i was leaving a gas station in novato ca with my daughter and father in the truck. i slowly started moving through the station and noticed my brakes were almost completely gone. fortunately i was close to home so i dropped down to first gear and slowly motored home to wait for the tow truck. i had the truck towed to the novato chevy dealership and they could find nothing wrong with the truck. i then began the process of requesting gm to buy this truck back and its definitely not going to be a short process. im still currently driving this thing with no diagnosis of any brake issue. my wife won't even get into the truck. i absolutely love this truck and wish there was a definitive answer to what happened. gm corporate said if it happens again to please bring it into the dealership for eval. if it happens again?!!! im not complaining about the air cooled seats not working properly! i drive a fire engine for a living and my job is to keep others safe. now i'm having to drive this thing while waiting for gm to step up and buy this back before the brakes go out again. i suppose someone will have to die before gm acknowledges there's an issue here.

Picked up my 2019 sierra at4. i drove it off the lot, got about 3 miles. stopped to get myself a cup of coffee. got back into the truck, started it and the check engine light came on, the brake system failure, the abs light, traction control etc. called the dealer and was told to bring it back. (mind you, i've only actually owned the 63k truck for an hour) i bring the truck back, they take it in for about 20 mins and then the mechanic takes the car for a test drive. he's gonna about 15 minutes or so, comes back and says the truck is good. they fixed a recall recently but never "reset the computer" he says "you're good to go" i drive the 30 minutes home, pull up to the house, turn the truck off. go inside to get my little ones because they want to go for a ride in daddy's new truck.. we go outside, i start the truck, and it's the same thing these are the codes that came up. it has been back to the dealer 3 times and they havem't found any issue. this is dangerous and something needs to be done. service esc service trailer brake brake system failure - 62 mph top speed steering assist reduced drive with care
On 5/28/19 i filled my 2019 gmc sierra denali at the local gas station. as usual i turned the vehicle off. after fueling, i started the vehicle and began pulling out of gas station. upon exiting i lost all braking power and the pedal went to the floor. i was going approx. 5 mph. i pulled over and had to step on the brake pedal until it was on the floor with extreme force. the check engine light also appeared on the dashboard. at approx. 4:41pm i recieved an onstar email with an antilock brake problem. email suggested i take the vehicle for service within 7 days. i had gmc roadside tow the truck from my home to the nearest dealer(staten island buick gmc) i leased the vehicle from coleman buick gmc and when i contacted them i was told they couldn't help and the dealer the truck was towed to is still gm. i also contacted gm customer service. received a case # and waiting to be contacted. as per coleman the vehicle has recalls for a trailer brake module and park assist. as per si buick gmc they could not find any computer codes. the hydraulic test showed no issues. they claim to have upgraded the computer and the truck was safe to drive as of 5/30. they want to test drive again on 5/31 and i assume i'll be asked to pick up my truck. i find this to be unacceptable and a major safety issue. thankfully i was going 5mph when i lost full braking. i was told if the issue happens again to bring the truck back in for diagnostics and repair as needed. this safety issue can potentially cause physical injury and or prove to be fatal. depending on technology to determine braking capacity is absurd. 2019 gmc sierra also have electrical problems duly noted by customers. forums also mark the same braking problems have occurred with other owners in different states. a recall should be issued for the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians! lives are at risk and a recall is needed!
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 gmc sierra 1500. while pulling out of the parking lot, the brake warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to mcdonald gmc cadillac (5155 state st, saginaw, mi 48603, (989) 319-4136). the dealer tested the brakes, replaced the master cylinder, bled the brakes, performed a road test, and declared that the failure was remedied; however, the failure recurred during a road trip 200 miles away from home. during the failure, the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard again and the warning indicator turned off. the contact managed to drive home slowly. the manufacturer was contacted and provided a case number. the manufacturer stated that a case manger would call back within two days. the failure mileage was 3,930. *tp
I am a heavy highway construction inspector for wvdoh and while working on i 81 sb in martinsburg, wv this morning around 2:00 am while performing my duties i attempted to pull out of my lane closure into traffic when my truck literally got stuck halfway out into live traffic. it was as if i was stomping on the brakes instead of giving it gas. fortunately i reacted swiftly and put the truck in reverse to back into my lane closure preventing a collision with a tractor trailer traveling at speeds in excess of 55 mph. i was literally shaking when i realized how close of a call it actually was and that not only could i or the truck driver have been killed, but so could the workers on my job have been injured and/or killed. i had to have my truck towed back to my field office. for some reason the truck started driving properly again. there is definitely something wrong and it is extremely fortunate that no injuries occurred on my project. i did notice a post on this website explaining the very thing that happened to me this morning. this issue must be addressed immediately before people are killed. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc *tr
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!
While driving my truck approximately 45 mph on a street, i heard the vehicle notification alarm sound, i looked down at the dash and had several warning lights illuminated:i had four messages: service esc service trailer brake brake system failure - 62 mph top speed steering assist reduced drive with care lights on dash that were illuminated abs check engine brake traction control before i could read each warning light, a red stop light was approaching. i was at that time i pressed on the brakes and realized that my brakes were extremely spongey. i figured i only had about 10% braking power. with my two year old in the back seat, i pushed as hard as i could to stop my truck. luckily, by the grace of god, i was able to stop my truck without rear ending the car in front of me. my truck was then towed to the dealership. i bought the truck 5 days prior. my truck has approximately 161 miles on it. the dealer told me the next day i needed a new master cylinder and hydro boost. probably the absolute worse component to fail on the driver while the vehicle is in motion.
Rear wheel brakes unexpectedly lock up after driving over a hour or more
Have about 6000 miles on my 2019 gmc seirra denali 5.3 . i've been experiencing a very troubling issue been to the dealership once already and had a hard time convincing them that something was wrong with the truck .every time i drive for long periods of time or idle for 10+ mins when i shift from park to drive i cannot go faster than 5 mph without the rear brakes locking up. i do not know if this is some kind of limp mode or what .
