I purchased the gm sts2 software and program my truck and now I have no brakes, have all lights on with calibration and rams problem I-??m sure that the calibration they provided to me, costed this problem and none off the lights are turning off, the truck lost brakes I have to stand on the paddle to stop the truck. Now I have no choice to send it the GM for there mistake. I spoke to acdelco sts2 rep. And he couldn-??t figure out the problem. And the hybrid system issue also. Both front air bag impact sensors cracks in the middle turns the light on. That-??s been a fault with all gm trucks. They need to update this problem.

I have had to replace the brakes twice, as well as the driver side hub. I have replace the door trim at least 4 times. Everyone I have met that has the same year has had trouble with the trim. I also feel that the transmission has trouble shifting when towing.
