The braking system failed to communicate with the vehicles computer system. This communication failure occurred while driving and set off all kinds of alarms and codes inside the vehicle while driving and then I had to use both feet to apply the breaks in order to get the car to stop in the emergency lane on the road as we were driving. No other warning signs or messages prior to this happening everything happened all at once. Had Onstar run diagnostics on the vehicle and 2 codes came back a U1610 Communication code of the vehicles network.

…I was able to take the truck to a shop in town 2 mi away , and they printed off the following codes: P25A U160F U1610 U2418 U2419
…Diagnostic codes reported: B1A68 (0x76), U0101, U0102, U0131, U0140, U0146, U0151, U0155, U0265, U0422, U160F, U1610, U1611. I am concerned that replacing the front camera may not correct the actual cause of the missing guide lines, particularly given the multiple communication faults. This could involve the camera system, software, calibration, CAN communication network, or another component. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate this complaint as a potential safety-related defect affecting the camera/guide-line system on 2022 Chevrolet Silverado vehicles. I believe the loss of the factory guide lines is a safety concern and could affect a driver's ability to safely judge the…

…Technicians found codes U1610 and U1639, and found K160 connecter unseated. It was reseated and greased. The concern is that this should have been locked and unable to be unseated.
