I was driving on the street when suddenly the truck stopped completely by itself without me pressing the brake, I put it in neutral and put it back in forward, it went about 30 feet and stopped by itself suddenly again and the dashboard panel did not have any warning signs that indicated that something was wrong. I took it to the dealer and they told me that since it did not have any warning lights on, they could not do anything. I spoke directly with GM and they told me the same thing, that they could not do anything and now I will have to drive it without knowing if the problem will occur again and I caused a serious accident.

Last year the right parking brake was sticking and our service parking brake light kept coming on. We found out that it ate our back right brake so both needed to be replaced. That lasted less than a year. I brought it back to our local mechanic twice and they couldn't figure it out so they referred us to a dealership to run a diagnostic test (which I had to pay $108.00 out of pocket for) I brought it in to the dealership on Friday (4-18-25) to find out that the Brake Control Module needs to be replaced. I noticed that their is a recall for my exact vehicle but my VIN # is not included in the recall. I would like to be included in this recall. This is a very serious issue that deals with everyone's safety. I don't want to have to keep fixing this. I just want my vehicle fixed. Please help

Was Driving my 2019 silverado home and a warning light came on said service ESC and something about speed is set to 45mph max. Then the truck would not go.I pulled over and tried to figure out what was going on. Luckly I was able to make it home got out my code reader and check the codes they were P25A2 and C053D. I have looked up these codes I see them all over the internet other people are having them as well. I checked for recalls I dont see any for this issue. Are there any fix for this issue?
While driving going at a speed of 60 mph on the highway my brakes stopped working, anti locks weren’t working. ABS light came on and it also said brake system failure and to Go at max speed 65 mphs. This put myself and my daughter greatly at risk!Vehicle could not stop. Now the system shows no issues and all warning dashboard lights are off (ABS) I did find a recall online for this same issue for 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500
Traveling on the highway at 70 mph the rear wheels (brakes) locked up nearly causing a collision. I found a couple of recalls notices for 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500, but nothing posted for 2019 Chevy Silverado. The vehicle was taken immediately to the dealership for evaluation and repair. The tow/haul mode light blinked on and then off. At no time was the tow haul mode manually engaged. My understanding is the vehicle’s Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) software could have an error that should be covered under a recall. Upon inspection and repair the dealership found codes for the brake system control module lost communication with multiple modules and found low voltage codes. They replaced the battery and updated the BSCM. I believe Chevrolet should extend the recall to 2019 models and hopefully this report will cause action to be taken and prevent accidents in the future.

I keep on getting the Service Brake System warning, even when I am not pulling a trailer. When I am pulling a trailer the warning comes on and I lose all braking on the trailer and it usually blows the trailer brake fuse. This has been happening intermittently for the last two years and now is more frequent. Now I heard there is a recall on the same scenario but my VIN number is not included. Now what?
A couple months ago, my wife was backing down a sloped driveway the brakes gave out and would not stop the truck. She had to push the brake extremely hard to get it to stop and the service brake assist light came on briefly. It then went off and the truck's brakes came back. It happened to her one other time in a similar situation going slow in a driveway. Today I was driving and was slowing down coming to a stop sign moving forward when the brakes gave out so I had to push the brakes extremely hard to come to a stop which felt like they were fighting back and I almost hit the person in front of me. The service brake assist light also came on. There are known recalls on this part in prior years of this same vehicle and others. This recall should be expanded to 2019 Chevy Silverado's as well. I should not have to pay to fix a known issue.
