2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brakes

TRAILER NOT CONNECT WARNING

CHECK TRAILER WIRING WARNING - WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, WEATHER, SMOOTH VERSUS ROUGH ROADS, WHILE PULLING TWO DIFFERENT TRAILERS, THE TRUCK INDICATES TO CHECK THE WIRING AND 1 SECOND LATER IT INDICATED THE TRAILER IS CONNECTED. IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A MILE AND THEN NOT OCCUR FOR 50 MILES. ONE TIME THERE WAS A MESSAGE TO CHECK THE BRAKE CONTROLLER. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I HOOK A TRAILER UP TO THE TRUCK. TRUCK IS AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I PULLED THE SAME TRAILERS WITH MY 2012 CHEVY PICKUP, I DID NOT HAVE THIS CONCERN. ONLY STARTED WITH THE NEW TRUCK. IS A CONCERN WHEN THE TRAILER BRAKES DO NOT WORK DURING THIS TIME. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN I TOW MY TRAVEL TRAILER AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL I GOT A RECALL NOTICE AND TRIED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. NO APPOINTMENTS WERE ALLOWED. YOU ARRIVE AT EIGHT AM AND IT WILL TAKE A LEAST 4 HOURS TO DO. THE LETTER STATED 40 MINUTES OR LESS. I CANNOT TAKE A WHOLE DAY OFF OF WORK TO DO THIS SO I GUESS MY LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL FOR APROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TOWING A BOAT. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK TOTAL OF FIVE PASSANGERS. SUDDENLY I NOTICED A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. I DROVE FRO APPROXIMATELY FIVE MORE MINUTES THE I NOTICED THE BREAK PEDAL WAS GOING ALL THE WAY IN, THEREFORE I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT IS WHEN I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BRAKES.
