Consumer Description

MY CHEVROLET 2500 HAS A FUNCTION CALLED GRADE BRAKING TO ASSIST THE BRAKES WHEN TOWING A LOAD DOWN HILL. IT HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING BUT THE DEALERS CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID SINCE NO CODES SHOW ON THE COMPUTER I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE A TRAILER BEHIND IT AND AM NEAR A DEALER THAT IS NEAR A STEEP GRADE TO TEST IT. THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SYSTEM IT TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM RUNNING AWAY ON A STEEP GRADE. DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE PLACE TO TEST IT. THERE ARE NO STEEP GRADES WITH IN 150 MILES OF ME. THERE SHOULD BE A SIMULATED TEST RUN BY THEIR COMPUTER. *TR
