NHTSA Complaint #10893354 — 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

I OWN A '09 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 PICKUP WITH AN INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER. MY DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER GAVE ME A WARNING "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM". I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS/STABILITY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WAS ON BACKORDER FROM GM. IT TURNS OUT THAT GM HAS NO ABS CONTROL MODULES (PART#25802684) IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY! WITH THIS MODULE BEING BAD IT CUTS POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES. YOU END UP WITH NO BRAKES ON ANY TRAILER YOU TOW THAT HAS ELECTRIC BRAKES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY TRAILER WAS NOT CONNECTED AT THE TIME OF THE FAULT. IF I HAD BEEN TOWING MY CAMPER AND LOST BRAKING POWER TO IT, THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. GM HAS NO FIX FOR THIS. I AND EVERY OTHER OWNER (A LOT) ARE STUCK WITH NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY GM LET THEIR STOCK IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY GO TO ZERO ON SUCH A CRITICAL SAFETY RELATED PART. THANK YOU *TR
