This Problem Across All Years
The service trailer brake icon keeps appearing on my screen I’m afraid it’s going to not work properly when towing trailers it’s constantly going on and off I believe it’s the brake control module switch but also could be in the harness just want Gm to be aware of the many blogs that I have read about with this problem The problem first appeared about two months ago

4 weeks ago, constant repeated loud chime and visual warning stating " service trailer brake system". This is constantly alarming and unable to be cancelled or acknowledged throughout the drive. This results in distracted driving. Furthermore, it occurs both when towing a trailer or not towing. I have noticed decreased braking of the trailer as well. Have not gone to dealer yet.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE FROM THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED AND WAS REPLACED ON OCTOBER 2014. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY OWNER AND SERVICE PROVIDER. THE SECOND SUMMER OF OWNERSHIP THE VEHICLE HAD RADIATOR ISSUES, AND MOST RECENTLY ELECTRICAL ISSUES AGAIN AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD GOES INTO A FLICKER AND SHUTS DOWN. GMC WAS ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AT THE OWNERS COST WITH THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF SERVICE FOR 3 WEEKS.
