Electric trailer brake control modular is malfunctioning on my 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 3500. Multiple of sources told me this is a common problem with this generation of GMC.

Wife and daughter took the pickup to town. While returning home wife noticed a noise from the front end. She slowed down to turn and the whole tire with rotor came off the pickup causing the brake line to get ripped off and stating a fire. Damaged the running board and rocker panel along with the cv axle and other numerous parts.
I was driving in my city and the brakes were fine prior. I was coming up to a stop sign and all of the sudden my brake pedal was going to the floor. I could not stop within reason. Luckily no one was in the crosswalk or I would have hit them. I used the E-brake and my exhaust brake to help so me slow down. I was doing about 35mph. I took the truck home immediately as safe as I could. I called the GM dealership by me and took it to them. They are only a few miles away and I took back roads to avoid trouble. I was informed by the GM dealership that there was an internal failure of the brake booster and master cylinder. $654 dollars to repair my 2500 denali truck. I called GM service already and they informed me my truck was not under the recall. This issue obviously exists to more vehicles than what they specify and you could lose brakes at any moment. GM needs to rectify their truck brake situation. Someone will end up getting killed.
