Consumer Description
While pulling fifth wheel camper the the electronic brake controller looses connection and brakes on the trailer do not work leaving only the truck brakes to stop both truck and trailer. General Motors claims this is caused due to the solar panel on the trailer charging the trailer battery more than the truck battery which back feeds into the system. This problem only occurred on the 2024 models. The same trailer was pulled with a 2021 model with no issues. This is a known problem which Chevrolet has a service bulletin stating such. Reference document # 6379278. At this time there has not been a fix. This is a safety hazard because there is no warning as to when the trailer brakes will stop working.
