• 12/31/2022· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  While pulling my camper trailer the brake controller failed. It would turn on an alarm (visually) and ring an audio alarm. Every time it would come on, I would stop on the highway and recheck the trailer connection and that was Ok. Every time that I get this alarm, I have no trailer brakes. This has happened for the last 3 years. This happens at any speed and in any road conditions and weather. My trailer is 9000# and without brakes it could be dangerous to stop. especially in an emergency situation. My dealer says it can't find anything wrong with the truck. I went on line to find some solutions to the problem and found out that this is quite common. People were saying that we should report this, so here it is. I have replaced the plug on the trailer and the truck with no luck. The dealer is presently replacing the TRAILER BRAKE MODULE. Thats about $1000. I think it should be fixed for free.

THEN I WENT OVER TO THE LOCAL CEVY DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID NO THE REASON GIVEN IS THAT THEY DON'T GUARANTEE AGAINST RUST.
