What owners wrote
The brake pedal got extremely hard while backing up and hooking up to a trailer. The truck wouldn't stop and I ran into the trailer and almost ran over my wife. The vacuum pump ticks like it is about to destroy itself. The truck has 70k miles.
A warning message comes on the dash telling the driver there is a issue with the trailer brakes, or wiring system. The trailer brakes become inoperable when this comes on. We have contacted GM with the issue, both at the dealer level and at the corporate level; and they insist it is a problem with our trailers. The same trailers are used with older chevrolet trucks without incident. We have also been informed by GM that the 2015 silverado 2500's are equipped with a more sensitive trailering system.
