2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Service Brakes Problems

I am the original owner of a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. The vehicle's brake vacuum pump has failed, resulting in a sudden, significant loss of power braking assist. This requires excessive pedal force to stop the vehicle, creating an immediate safety hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. General Motors previously issued special coverage adjustment N192210240 ( or N182202780 ) to address this specific component failure, extending warranty coverage to 10 years or 150,000 miles. I never received notification of this coverage or the potential safety defect. The dealership has confirmed the vacuum pump failure but denied coverage because the 10- year window has recently expired. I contacted GM Corporate on 12/16/2025 and 12/17/ 2025 they declined GoodWill Assistance. I believe it is unreasonable to deny coverage for a know safety defect on a vehicle owned by the original purchaser who was never properly notified of the extension on N182202780.

I pulled into a parking lot, and into a parking spot. I put the truck in reverse to back up and straighten the truck, when I started to pull back in the brake pedal became hard to press. I had to stand up on the brake pedal to keep from hitting the car parked in front of me. It also happened another time while backing out of a parking spot when someone walked behind the vehicle, and I had to stand on the pedal.

Vacuum pump for brakes . My brake pedal get hard

Vacuum pump failed causing an anti-lock brake failure and destroyed all my brake pads and rotors. General motors and the dealership are only covering the vacuum pump, but require me the customer to pay for the brake pads, rotors, and installation fees. GM had the dealership perform 3 days of testing to verify that it was the vacuum pump. I was hauling a camper with my truck when it failed with my 2 young children inside and the truck ground to a halt while shaking violently scaring my children. I had to have the vehicle towed due to how dangerous the issue was.

Unknown : vehicle vacuum pump for Braking assistance causing the vehicle to not be able to stop possibly crashing.

GMC knows there is a problem with the Vacuum Pump Assembly/Belt Kit and are refusing to recall it. The breaks are harder to press (see attachments) and the alarms are constantly dinging. My truck has less than one hundred and fifty miles and I bought it 12/07/2015, they have a special warrant on these vehicles but will not honor it. This is dangerous not to have the proper breaking power.

-Vacuum pump malfunction. Not available, has already been repaired. Found out after the fact there had been a recall on 2014-2018 vacuum pumps. Mine had not been included in the recall, yet here we are. -While pulling into a parking spot, as I was slowing down/braking the pedal went to the floor, truck accelerated went over a parking barrier, sidewalk and hit a tree. If I had not hit the tree, I would have driven into the side of the building into people doing cardio or if someone had been walking in front of me, I would have hit them. Seeing an orthopedist on June 10 for right hip and knee pain as leg was fully extended on impact. -Quality GMC Collision/Service tested/drove the car and it didn't happen. Service ran diagnostics and it happened then. Highlighted in yellow on repair invoice. -Quality GMC Collision/Service. don't know if an adjuster looked at it or not. Quality did file a claim for it though. - There was no warning, indication, message, problem before this happened. My brakes were were working and then they weren't.

Pulling forward in my driveway and my breaks went stiff

I received the recall notice and then the special warranty notice, fall of 2019. I took my vehicle, which was experiencing the braking issues described in both notices, to Nereson Automotive in Detroit Lakes, MN. I did call ahead & had an appointment and informed them of the letters and the problems both on the phone and in person when dropping the vehicle off for repairs. After they called me and told me they made all the repairs and had the vehicle in good working order again, I picked up my 2015 Chevy Silverado High Country (approximately 107,000 miles) and while still on the lot I experienced the same braking issues. At that point I just figured it was something that I would have to deal with. After almost 5 years of dealing with the intermittent annoyance, I started doing some research on how to fix it myself and came across a mechanics instruction on how the recall and special warranty was supposed to be performed. I called them back and scheduled another appointment pointing out they were supposed to replace the vacuum pump in 2019 and I informed them (Ty) the radio and DIC on my truck would randomly change menus and stations and wanted them to reflash the computer system (which they did not do, and also charged me over $150 for a bogus diagnostic fee afterward). After I dropped my truck off for repair (again) (approximately 158,000 miles) I received a call and they said the special warranty is expired because I was approximately 8,000 miles over the extension. I informed them I had brought them the truck in 2019 to have the issue fixed and they did not fix it under warranty at that point. They said there was nothing they could do to help fix this important SAFETY RECALL. Now, I have complete brake assist failure and a dealer that seems to be ignoring the recalls and cutting corners. I called GM Customer Service and they said I have to work it out with the independently owned dealer. I called back yesterday (XXX) and they still refuse to fix the recall.

Low speed brake failure sometimes

Vehicle shuts off when stopping. Everything goes dead. It will eventually start again, but very annoying. What happens when it shuts off going down the highway? No power steering or power brakes, that's what!

The trailer braking system keeps chiming and going on and off ever 1-2 sec. Detracting and over rides all other information on screen. Including speed. Has been happening for months and now consistently.

the brake booster stop working or shortated out and broke the belt now the brakes are hard to push while i was driving

At 10mph to 30mph every other week I will get a sudden brake lock up and release for a split second. There are no codes that get thrown, it is very dangerous... being a disabled veteran, I did check is it says all my recalls have been done but I don't think they were done right.

While in a drive thru moving up slowly to the next spot brakes became hard and had to put a lot of force on the brakes to make vehicle slow down and stop. I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me but luckily stopped within a few inches. Took it in to get serviced and mechanic said brake system checked out to be good. That was 2 years ago. This last week I was backing in a boat in the water and the brakes became hard to push and was not slowing the vehicle down. I had to put on the emergency parking brake in order not to go in the lake with the truck. It was a very scary situation with my small nephews in the back seat. I was able to drive the truck back 10 homes from Canada. This appears to be a requiring issue from complaints on this make and model of truck.

Truck has issues breaking at very low speeds such as drive thrus ect. Zero issues at driving speeds. I see there is a recall for this issue on silverados between 2014 and I believe 2018 that had to do with a vacuum pump or similar issue that caused breaking issues at low speeds. For some reason my truck is not included in this recall but is having the same issues.

Mi camión está marcando un problema de servicio del sistema de freno de remolque y amanece con la batería baja y cuando voy conduciendo la mayoría de tiempo se pone muy duro el pedal del freno y hace un ruido muy raro cuando freno y también cuando acelero truena cómo si trajera un Fierro suelto en el motor

BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THERE THE MECHANICS REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND REAR BRAKE PADS. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS TILL RECENTLY SO WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO DEALER. MILEAGE WAS 169201. THE BRAKES WERE FIRST INSPECTED 6-29-22. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS WELL BELOW YOUR CUTOFF OF 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. THE DEALERS HANDLING OF THIS DOES SEEM UNREASONABLE. THIS IS MY HUSBANDS VEHICLE I REALLY DONT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT DATES. WHILE BACKING UP HIS TRAILER HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SEVERAL DENTS ON THE SIDE OF IT SHOWS BRAKING PROBLEMS. I THINK 1900.00 IS EXTREME TO REPAIR WHAT YOUR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF IS A PROBLEM. YOUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THIS WAS POSSIBLE RATHER THAN LEAVING THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HOPE THIS WILL CONVINCE YOUR COMPANY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. THAT WILL DETERMINE WHAT VEHICLE WE WILL PURCHASE NEXT.

At slow speeds, such as parking lots and moving in slow traffic, the brakes seem to fail or act like they are giving out.

The TRAILER STABIZER warning keeps coming on.

My 2015 Silverado was purchased new and around October 2023 the trailer brake service warning started popping up. I was concerned with pulling any sort of trailer that my safety would be at risk, and also the constant noise as a distraction. I have taken to dealer for inspection, but nothing was able to be done at the time. No other warnings or symptoms have appeared. Just the trailer brake service continually going off. Thanks.

Brakes are hard at low speeds

Brakes fail at low speeds,or cruising in to a parking lot

While backing up on an incline the brakes stop working and pedal vibrates like abs is kicking in. Have to use e brake to stop

As I was driving, the brakes got all Smashy the pedal locked and the brakes started grinding. I couldn’t stop the truck anymore. I couldn’t do absolutely anything I had to stop and hit a divider from a parking structure to be able to stop my truck. My truck is a 2015 Chevy Silverado, I do maintenance all the time I almost took out four cars and injured. These people along with myself. This is uncalled for something is wrong with my brakes. I took a video right after and you see on the video how the brake is just stuck it won’t even go in or anything you hear , a marshmallow sound you feel the grinding it’s horrible .

#1- I had my truck in a few years ago for a brake issues that they said was a computer reprogramming issue and vacuum pump. They repaired and the issue slowly came back. Now it feels as if there is little to no assist with braking and stopping distance is growing. I feel like my family is at risk if there were ever to be a time I need to brake hard or fast. Theire are no warning lamps but obvious excessive braking effort and can feel the brake rotors through the pedal. #2- Intermittently, at low speeds, pulling into parking lots and parking spaces while turning the steering wheel, electrical power cuts out, steering wheel jerks out of hand, and a dash light comes on saying "service stabilitrack". This is a huge safety issue that could certainly cause an accident. I have Googled this very common issue with my year Chevy Silverado and personally checked the grounds on the left and right under the front dash panel by each speaker and found them to be clean and tight. This leads me to believe it is something else and electrical and a huge safety problem. Only issue is that it is very random and hard to replicate. Seems to happen on hot days when I've been driving a lot. I just got off the phone with the local dealership and they are saying there are no other recalls aside from the current one for air bag issues which I just scheduled. But these other issues I feel are definitely safety manufacturer defects/issues especially being that it has been in for the brake issue once already and the steering/electrical issue is such a common thing when searching the internet.

The power assist for the brakes intermittently goes out and does not work, typically happens at low speed like when parking. The most recent time this started happening a ‘brake assist’ notification appeared on my dashboard. This is a safety concern. I see a recall for my model and year, but when I inquired was told my VIN was not covered. The existing recall number that I believe should be expanded to cover my VIN is recall number N192268490 and is also listed as NHSTA campaign numbers 19V645 and 20V603. Please look into this and expand the recall to cover my vehicle and others that should be covered for this safety defect.

When backing slowly down a ramp with a boat attached the brakes feel like they are not holding . Feels like I'm going to be in the water with the boat. In drive the brakes work just fine. Only when going down a ramp with the boat it feels like the brake is down as far as it will go and fading or out of pressure. This happened a couple times before this in June and July. Then I replaced the front brakes. First time I backed the boat in after brake change it still happened. I feel the power booster or something else is bad. It's just weird it is only in reverse at slow speeds.

I have had several instances when it has become difficult stopping my vehicle, particularly under low-speed conditions like when approaching a stop light or while in a parking lot. I have had to use both feet and all my force to stop the vehicle and several of these times was while towing which only added to the difficulty and danger of the situation. I have replaced my brake pads, rear calipers and flushed the brake fluid all of which has not helped or resolved the issue. A shuttering in the brake pedal often times accompanies this issue, similar to the ABS system activating. I see there is a recall 19V645000 which from my online research seems to mimic what I am experiencing but when I called Chevrolet directly, I was told to make a report on this website. I was not offered any assistance in the matter.

[XXX]. My 2015 silverado with the 5.3 randomly just shuts off. When slowing down and at 10 to 20 mph, the Instrument panel goes dark, the engine shuts off, no power steering or brakes and almost crashed into someone. I turn the key it starts back up, but have to reset time and date and lose radio channels. Once a message about stabilitrac flashed after starting back up. Truck can be for Inspection. This problem happened 4 times in one morning it is being looked at now on [XXX]. There hasn't been any warnings. It just shuts down.

“Service trailer brake system” this message randomly appears with no trailer connected at all, i recently bought a brand new trailer and im scared to tow it since there is no current fix for this error message on the display, it comes on randomly and will not stop popping up and dinging it is a huge distraction as it repeatedly does it over and over, also when it does this you lose trailer brakes which is very unsafe especially in the mountains. This has been a known issue for years that is why i don’t understand why there is only a fix for the 22-23 models. Gm needs to address this issue as there are tons and tons of complaints, it is never safe to lose trailer brakes especially with all that weight you could burn up the truck brakes and cause an accident or if the trailer starts swaying you can not correct it with the breaks

Truck often while driving getting a "Service Trailer Brake System" message, that is a safety-critical defect, and in my case, a defective wire harness

Trailer Brake System, needs service light keeps coming on. Have had this issue with this vehicle since I purchased new in 2015. Have had this issue checked by dealer several times and they always tell me unable to duplicate customers issue on my service invoice. The service light will come on and an audible alert will sound for a few seconds and then go off and come back on. Apparently this is an ongoing issue with GM products, have talked to other Chevrolet owners who have experienced same issue and several GM forums have this issue as a priority topic.

2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ 5.3L. 81.2k miles. After not driving the vehicle for four days while away on a work trip, the very first trip out of the garage, the brakes became extremely difficult to press and stop. Originally, it occurred at low speeds, but it persists at all speeds now.

Low speed braking. No warning lamps or messages. When creeping forward and then applying brake boost is lost. Intermittent so the driver may not be able to anticipate when braking will change.

Randomly the brakes get stiff, even while on a hill or stop and go traffic. I noticed the first time after first buying it that while on an exit driveway at a decline, the brakes felt like they slipped or went away. I had to push them hard all the way down and thought I was going to roll into oncoming traffic. The truck soon after was making a noise and felt like it was losing power and revving after the keg was taken out and loss of gas mileage. The dealership confirmed the brakes vacuum pump and the high pressure fuel pump were both bad and the gas was leaking into the oil causing problems and possibly ruining the engine, they stated both would need to be replaced. Check engine light comes on soon after fresh oil changes everytime and codes were shown on computer for running rich. No codes after the initial oil changes due to the warning lights appearing after a good amount of gas has leaked into the oil.

I recently brought my 2015 Silverado in to the local dealership to fix the “increased brake pedal effort” recall. The dealership reprogrammed the brake control module but the problem still persists. Yesterday 03/07/23 I experienced loss of brake power in interstate traffic while traveling at low speed. This happened several times and it is very concerning. I believe the GM vacuum pump is faulty and I will contact the dealership about replacing it.

I was backing up at low speed after a 25 minute drive and went to stop, pushed brake pedal and it was hard and didn’t slow the vehicle. I stood on the pedal to stop from backing through my garage door and wheels made a dragging sound and stopped. Put it in drive to check the brakes and same thing happed, brakes hard and no stopping power. Put truck in park and shut it off. Started it back up and brakes were fine.

Hard brake petal at low speed when I'm trying to park vehicle, dealership kept truck for five days, service Rep said, he couldn't get to my truck,.

Inability to brake at low speeds. Brake vacuum pump failing at 100K miles. I can submit photos and report later.

While driving at low speeds (approx 5-10 mph) the brake pedal became stiff and very difficult to stop. This issue happened with no prior warning or indication of the issue. As a result of this issue severe damage to personal property housing and vehicles was nearly missed. Upon research this has been a common issue for GM vehicles specifically trucks and SUVs.

I constantly get a trailer assist brake service warning dinging. I have video. I paid for a tech to fix it but it still dings. I fear the brakes will be affected since it says "Service Trailer Brake System." System has not been inspected by Dealer because they told me it could take 6 months to get it in due to high volume of repairs on books and low inventory. This started in 2021 and stopped after I paid a tech to fix it for about 6 months but started repeating the problem again in 2022.

Anytime I pull into the parking lot and I have to pump my brakes more than once the brake pedal stiffens up and the truck does not stop it has almost caused a collision and almost went through the window of a business it is to the point where every single time I drive it does this from what I heard it is the vacuum pump it does not provide enough vacuum for the brake booster so the brakes do not work it cost about $250 for the OEM part and that is not guaranteed to work the problem will persist later on down the road after more mileage put on the truck

At slow speeds the brake pedal gets hard and does not stop vehicle. At random times I temporarily lose power steering and vehicle is hard to turn.

Losing power brakes at low speeds. Narrowly avoided rear-end collision.

The vacuum in the braking system failed and would not stop the vehicle especially after going over 1500 rpm the vehicle would stop, but if you had to brake without being able to go above 1500rpm the brakes failed. You had yo put a lot of pressure on the brake pedal to slow it down and stop. When you have a hill to go down it could be very dangerous. Taking the vehicle on 11/15/22 to Kendall Chev I'm Marysville, WA. No warnings were given on brake problem. Since truck will not stop normally, any person, vehicle, bike, etc is in danger of being in front of truck because of brakes failing.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, he heard an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he continued driving to his residence. The contact stated while leaving the driveway, he continued to hear the abnormal noise, and the service brake warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake vacuum pump to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V578000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

Mileage: 106,000

Trailer brake assist warning keeps going off at different times with no trailer attached. Quite annoying and unsafe distraction.

This is a 2015 Chevy Silverado, I continuously get a message reading "Service: Trailer Brake System". This error message would continuously chime every 5 seconds, no matter if I cleared the message with the check button on the steering wheel or left it on. This chime would override the radio, phone calls, turn signal chime and any other noises put out by the vehicle in addition to covering the digital speedometer readout. I have yet to take it to a dealership as today was the first repetitive issue lasting over 30 minutes. I first noticed this at random over the last 2 months, but these messages would stop after 2-5 minutes worth of chimes. I plan to take this to a dealer for inspection, but wanted to check for recalls/ report the issue before doing so.

The service trailer brake system warning keeps appearing while driving without a trailer and with a trailer attached to the truck. There is a defective wire harness located on the left side of the steering wheel that needs replaced to fix the issue. The warning alert appears and dings while driving causing distractions while driving down the road.

Trailer brake system I have owned this Chevy Silverado 2015 since 2018 when I purchased it certified from a used car dealership in upstate New York. About one year into owning the vehicle I started to experience an alarm that was flash trailer brake system. This alarm would beep and flash in my center consul restricting me from sight distracting me from driving and is almost impossible to drive the car without distraction. I checked YouTube I called the manufacture I did so much to figure out what was going on and why this was happening considering I do not show any thing I did not understand why the trailer brake would cause such a problem considering I never told anything.After about three months of driving the car this trailer brake system alarm stopped. Now recently 2022 the trailer break system alarm is back and flashes nonstop and is relentless. I cannot listen to music I cannot hear my own self think the alarm is so loud and so distracting I would rather walk to the store then drive the truck I am forced to drive this truck because of the fact that I need to get to work but the safety hazards that are now limiting me and I am afraid this is going to cause a major accident or loss of life. I recently discovered that this is a manufacturers wire harness malfunction due to faulty wiring and a low-grade wire harness system. Before this gets any worse I need some sort of help. Knowing that it is impossible to fix without thousands of dollars being spent and finding a specific electrical auto technician to fix it it is nearly impossible to have this fixed Chevy refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem I need someone to please help me and the other Chevy Silverado owners to get this under recall so that these wire harnesses can be replaced please help us my name is [XXX] my address [XXX] [XXX] is my cell phone number INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Trailer brake system alarm keeps going off.

Having problems with braking at slow speeds, pedal sticks to the floor when reversing into parking space or pulling up in drive thru lines at slow speeds etc.. no problems braking at regular speeds.

2015 Chevy Silverado, 62,300 miles. While driving at highway speeds. The air condition compessor locked up. Causing the engine to die and causing the loss of power steering and power brakes. I was unable to brake in a timely manner and had to swerve to avoid stopped traffic. It seems there are thousands complaining of the same issue online. There was no warning. I have contacted the dealer and they say there is no recall.

Trailer Brake System (Dismiss) has come on twice now in the driver information center screen.

Trailer brakes went out while towing a car

Service Trailer Brake light comes on continuously making it very distractive when driving no matter if you dismiss the message on the dash.

Service trailer brake system alert is going off constantly during driving the vehicle. I was not towing anything and have only ever towed something one time with this truck. The alert produces a chime and flashes the alert over the speedometer screen.

At low speed I get a hard brake pedal like low vacuum ( booster pump failure) maybe.

steering and braking stops working during low speed. AC stops working and several components flash a warning message Trailer hitch and stabilizer and engine light appears sporadically. It shows that I do not have recalls but I believe the repairs in the past were not done correctly. old software or a electrical short from an faulty part!!!!!

The vehicle is experiencing a low speed brake failure where the brakes either pulse like ABS brakes or there is no brake at all and you have to push hard to the floor to get brakes. I have seen some reviews that say this was a recall but I did not find anything on your site and I have not received a notice.

Slow speed braking is severely affected upon engagement, such as backing out of my driveway, or maneuvering into a parking spot. The brake pedal will pulse as if the ABS system is activating, however, upon reaching/ keeping idle speed, the brake pedal will become very rigid and the pedal is very hard to compress downward. Once the vehicle is stopped, and power is applied again with the gas pedal, normal braking is restored.

At low speeds, like idle, brakes do not want to work. Very hard to press.

The service trailer brake system alarm goes off constantly while driving when trailer is not attached to vehicle. You can dismiss the warning but the alarm comes back. It’s a loud audible beeping that takes your eyes off the road.

On an interstate offramp facing downhill moving at a slower speed 15mph or slower, application of brakes resulted in a brake pedal that could only be depressed about an inch (outside of normal function). Braking distance and response was drastically reduced. Decreased braking performance was experienced shortly after while reversing into a parking spot at low speed (1 mph), almost hitting a concrete wall in an underground parking garage. Vehicle is being inspected by a Chevrolet dealer Service department

The truck would take off on its own. The steering column would lock up, and the brakes would fail. The transmission is currently slipping an d these are just a few thing that are/have happened.

When going at low speed, power braking fails, and I have almost crashed my truck several times. Also - when going at low speeds, my electronic power steering fails - it's difficult to turn and the steering wheel "kicks back" in my hands. Extremely difficult to turn. I'm very concerned that these two things will lead to a crash/accident. Please help! The approximate date listed is the last time these two issues occurred - but it occurs almost every time I drive the vehicle.

Appears to be a brake booster with my truck like trucks similar with this year, however my truck isn't included in the recall

Was backing into parking place lost all brake pedal ran into another car . Lost brakes when backing trailer . This is a real problem

At low speeds the vehicle does not come to a complete stop. The brakes don’t fully engage and after the pedal is compressed down the vehicle drives forward and in reverse for a few feet.

Trying to park in a parking space at grocery store. Put truck in reverse to straighten up my parking job and felt like I had no power brakes. Had to really step on the brakes to get it to stop. Put the truck in drive and went forward and felt the same sensation: almost no braking. Almost had to stand on the brakes to get the truck stopped. After I turned the truck off, shopped and came back, there was no issue. I took the truck to a mechanic who could find no issue with brake pads, rotors or fluid. The same situation happened again a couple of weeks later. I checked brake fluid and there was plenty. It seems to occur at low speeds and resolves if I turn the vehicle off and let it sit for several minutes. I don't have confidence in the braking system now of my 2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71. I have 103K miles on it and have regular maintenance records to include any recall notifications. I never received any recall info on braking issues.

My truck lost brake vacuum assist on Saturday 1/29/2022, it happened 7-8 times at engine idle speed while parking. I'm a 230 lb man and had a difficult time stopping the truck. This is a known issue, I've already had a recall performed on the truck for this issue, I believe the recall is NHTSA Campaign Number 19V645000. It's my belief that there is a flaw in the vacuum pump design, Chevrolet has tried to address this issue by reprogramming the software but that hasn't solved the problem. I believe this was a effort to address the issue while avoiding financial loss for Chevrolet. This is dangerous and I'm not going to put another pump on the vehicle, it won't fix the problem because it's a design issue. GM can either fix the truck or give me a truck that will stop. This truck has been a nightmare, I could go on about loss of power steering and complete loss of electrical power (apparently these are known recall issues for the same truck design, but my specific truck doesn't fall under that recall), but for now I'd simply like the company to be held accountable for the brake issue. Please help force GM to address this issue before some else is injured. Also, this has caused me to lose control of my vehicle and hit a post in the a parking lot, this could have been a person, luckily it wasn't.

Unable to brake at low speed idle. Brakes occasionally lose power when at low speed, for example stop and go in line at a restaurant drive through, or behind a line of cars at a stop sign. Brakes become hard, maybe 1/4 “ pedal travel and very difficult to stop and avoid collision with car in front. No issue at higher speeds.

At low speeds, the braking system is not operating at 100% efficiency. The pedal must be pushed hard and the vehicle does not STOP promptly. Happens in forward and reverse. There is also a grinding sound when this happens.

When driving home from work one day driving at low speed (Below 15mph) the brake pedal would not go down it seemed like no matter how hard I pushed the brake pedal would not move much. This caused me to run a stop sign once the truck slowed down enough and brakes were literally being pressed as hard as possible you could hear the front brakes grinding really bad and the truck still did not want to stop. I had to call a wrecker service to tow my truck to a local mechanic shop. Upon further investigation and 625 dollars later it was determined the vacuum pump failed. After replacing the pump no further issues so far.

I was backing out of an inclined driveway and when I applied the brakes, I had a hard brake pedal situation and I was not able to stop the truck until it rolled into the street. Thank goodness no car was behind me or coming down the street. I parked the vehicle and will not drive until I get to the dealer to look at. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was fill to appropriate level. Prior to this, 5 or 6 times, while driving, my stability control and ABS light came on but went off. Also, now that I think about it, those lights came on when the road was really pitched to one side or when I pulled into a elevated parking space.

Brakes are acting spongy, sometimes they are hard, then it goes to the floor, and makes a electronic noise.

Brake pedal got hard while trying to stop. Had no power brakes. Turn truck off and back on brake pedal works again

The vacuum pump for the brake booster fails to build vacuum at low RPM (Under 1200 RPM). The part is still on the vehicle and can be inspected when the dealer completes repairs. The failure of the vacuum pump causes the ABS system to activate when attempting to come to a stop due to the need to apply excessive brake pedal pressure. This greatly increases stopping distance and has caused me to enter controlled intersections unintentionally. The problem has been confirmed by an independent repair shop. The problem has not been confirmed by anyone else yet. There were no warnings or messages prior to the failure. The only warning was a message AFTER the failure occurred to "service brake assist system".

Recall: 19V645000 Engine Vacuum Pump Fails Reducing Power Braking Assist. Truck brakes not stopping. Air conditioner issues.

At low speeds the brakes do not engage 100% of the time. After a few short pumps the brakes dont engage and I have to push as hard as I can on the brake pedal to get the truck to stop. It has happened at random times over the last year and there is no pattern to it. It seems to brake fine when I am traveling at higher speeds but when I am parking or in stop and go traffic I have issues with stopping the truck. I believe the problem is the vacuum pump for the brakes. This issue needs to be resolved since I have read hundreds of other complaints about this same braking problem.

While driving there is a reoccurring warning of trailer brake problem. I was told this is due to a faulty waring harness, that needs to be repaired.

My truck will start flickering and shuts off jerking the steering wheel out of my hand, then tells me to service stabilitrak. It mostly happens when I am driving (coming to a stop sign/light and/or while turning). Had it taken to two different dealers and they keep telling me it’s a mechanical issue when It seems more electrical.

While traveling at low speeds, my brake pedal gets extremely stiff and brake are almost inoperable. When pressed completely down, a grinding noise is heard. It seems as though my vehicle was impacted by the manufacture brake booster defect where NHTSA determined to be a safety recall.

I was towing my 44 foot trailer and I suddenly got an error that the trailer and the braking system was not connected to the truck. Luckily I was not going fast and was able to still stop but I have been driving the truck also when nothing was attached to my vehicle and I get that same morning trailer brake not attached in an error. I have contacted Chevrolet and they say there is nothing wrong there’s no recall on it but if you get online and all the places were the owners of General Motors trucks you will find numerous complaints about this problem they say they cannot duplicate this at the shops. But it continues to happen they say replace this and it still happens replace that and it still happens there’s a major problem somewhere and I imagine there have been accidents due to this error. I think it needs to be looked at from what I can tell it has not been I also had owned a GMC 20 14. 1/2 ton pick up and it had the same problem and I got the same answers. I reported this problem with my 2014 GMC 3-4 yrs ago

At low speeds I lose all pressure in my brake pedal and it goes very hard. I have to use every bit of force in my body to stop the car. There is already a recall for this issue with the vacuum pump for my year make and model however my VIN is not part of it. I tried to call General Motors about this and was told I am not part of the recall. When I asked to escalate the issue to someone dealing with the recall so they can be aware that it is affecting more vehicles than they think I was told I can't escalate it and was hung up on.

loss of braking in reverse, hard pedal feel, unable to stop. no warning lights or DTC codes

When slowing down vehicle to stop at traffic light or pull in parking space, brakes are failing and feels like vehicle has no brakes..have to press down on brake pedal really hard and as far down as it will go before vehicle will stop. Only happens at these lower speeds such as while trying to park or stop at a traffic light. We have had the brake pads, rotors, calipers, etc checked..everything looks good so this is not the problem. There were no warning lamps or messages associated with this problem..it has happened the last 2 times we have driven the vehicle..we are not driving it anymore at the moment until we figure out was is going on. Afraid we will hit something or someone else if we cannot get the vehicle stopped in time. Looking online seems there were several recalls for this problem for this vehicle but I never received a notice for it..possibly a bad vacuum pump or ABS defect? Needs to be reset or something..Please advise. Thank you.

Brakes aren’t properly working at low speeds like stop and go traffic or waiting in line at a gate. They vibrate like the pump is bad or something but brakes work fine when driving at normal speeds.

The brake system fails when operating at extremely slow speeds (i.e., at drive throughs and while parking). Brake pedal becomes rigid and difficult to engage. When engaging the foot break the vehicle continues to roll and is unresponsive resulting in the vehicle to continue moving. Service appointment is scheduled for 7/14/21 at a certified Chevrolet dealer/service provider.

Losing breaks at low speed, there was a recall in Canada for this issue

Additional brake pedal effort needed at low speeds. If truck is at idol and or in traffic brake pedal becomes extremely stiff and requires a tremendous amount of effort to stop.

MY SILVERADO HAS ALREADY HAD THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS VACUUM PUMP/BRAKE RECALL (N192268490). IT INITIALLY HELPED, BUT NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS AGAIN EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS IN TRAFFIC. YOU NEED TO ALMOST STAND ON IT TO STOP. IT APPEARS THAT THE DETERIORATION IS BACK WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE SOFTWARE "FIX." I WILL BE TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK AND REQUESTING A REPLACEMENT OF THE VACUUM PUMP UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. I AM BEYOND REGULAR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, BUT BRAKES SEEM LIKE THEY SHOULD WORK PAST 80K.

WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED WHILE PARKING OR IN TRAFFIC, MY BRAKE PEDAL EITHER GETS VERY HARD OR VERY SOFT AND FEELS AS IF THOUGH I HAVE NO BRAKING POWER. IT FEELS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO BRAKE BUT DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I HAVE ALMOST HIT CARS IN TRAFFIC OR CARS IN PARKING LOTS WHILE PARKING BECAUSE THE BRAKES CAN NOT BE FULLY ENGAGED. I HAVE REPLACED ALL MY BRAKES AND ROTORS AND HAVE HAD EVERYTHING INSPECTED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT MAY BE THE VACCUM PUMP ON A CAR THAT HAS ONLY 56K MILES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE AS FAULTY. I HAVE HAD TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE JUST TO GET HOME. NOW MY CAR SITS BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER QUOTED OVER 1700 TO FIX.

AFTER A 300 MILE DRIVE THE BRAKES ALL BUT FAILED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE PEDAL WAS STIFF FEELING AND REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE TO STOP.

THE LATEST WAS JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, WAITING IN LINE FOR A DRIVE THRU PICKUP AND AFTER 20 MINS WHEN WE MOVED FORWARD THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP.

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ON A BUSY ROAD THE WARNING SIGN OF (SERVICE STABILITRAK) POPS UP ON DASHBOARD AND LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER TURNING ON AND OFF AS THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO SEEM TO TURN OFF AND QUICKLY BACK ON REGAINING ELECTRIC POWER. WHEN REVERSING IT STARTED LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING SIGN WOULD POP UP. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR RECALLS AND THEY SAID PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND NOW IT'S THERE FOR THE THIRD TIME AS WE SPEAK. WHEN I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT AND VIDEO WAS SENT TO DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. LAST SUNDAY AS I HEADED OUT TO BUY DINNER, MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED TWICE AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING POPPED ON DASHBOARD AND TRUCK COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LOCKING MY BRAKES LOOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT ON ITS OWN INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION GOING DOWNHILL. STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE WAS LOCKED LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL AND DRIVING CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT TURN, IT WOULD NOT DO ANY CHANGES. MY TRUCK ENDED UP BUMPING INTO A SIDEWALK, I WAS TERRIFIED AS I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. SHAKING IN FEAR I TRIED TO RESTART MY TRUCK AND IT DID TURN ON. I WENT INSIDE THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, PARKED AND CALLED AAA SO MY VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED TO OUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP. WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TUESDAY DUE TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR VEHICLE AGAIN. HOWEVER, I NEVER EXPECTED THAT I WOULD ALMOST LOOSE MY LIFE. IT'S THE THIRD TIME IT'S BEEN SEEN AND I FEAR IT WILL BE THE SAME SCENARIO. I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING SERVICED. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNLESS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PROOF THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR PROOF.

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES IT GETS REALLY HARD AND WILL NOT STOP. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND DID NOT STOP.

WHILE DRIVING, THE RADIO AND ALL OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WILL GO DARK OR QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER, INCLUDING THE AC BLOWER, COMPRESSOR, HEADLIGHTS, ETC. SOMETIME I GET THE STABILITRACK ALERT WITH 3 OR 4 TONES, WHICH RESETS AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN WAITING IN A DRIVE THROUGH LINE TODAY, WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WHILE WAITING IN LINE, I SOMETIMES PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE, AND MOVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL INTO DRIVE, IT HAPPENS, AND MORE FREQUENTLY, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO GO OUT, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, ALL THE WHILE THE STABILITRACK ALARM GOES OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS GO DARK, THE AC SHUTS DOWN, THE DASH DISPLAY GOES DARK, THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE UP AND DOWN, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. TODAY, IT ALMOST CAUSED ME NOT TO NEGOTIATE TURNING FROM A MAJOR ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. I LOST ALL POWER TO THE STEERING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AND MY BRAKES WERE NON-EXISTENT. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, I DECIDED I NEEDED TO TELL MY STORY. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICES, AND HAVE NOT VENTURED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, FEARING EXPOSURE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEMS, AND HEARING THAT EVEN THE RECALL REPAIRS DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS MORE GOING ON HERE THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS TO HER, THERE IS NO WAY SHE CAN MANEUVER A STALLED VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES. SO IT LOOKS I HAVE THE SAME STORY AS OTHERS, AND NO REAL SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE WILLING TO FIX, OR EVEN ADMITTING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

MY TRUCK IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. PROBLEM WAS SPARATIC AND NOTICED IT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT 105,000 MILES IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SO I RESEARCHED IT. RANDOMLY AT SLOW SPEEDS LIKE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR MY DRIVEWAY OR EASING UP AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKES LOSE ALL POWER ASSIST. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS KICKING IN AND THE TRUCK JUST KEEPS ROLLING. IT TAKES ABOUT ALL THE FORCE YOU CAN GIVE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. WILL BE BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO CHEVY THIS WEEKEND.

(THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS IT DOWN). LUCKILY I DID NOT STRIKE THE VEHICLE CROSSING AND AT THIS POINT I WAS USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FURTHER REALIZED MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER STOPPING ON DEMAND, BUT MORE OF ROLLING TO A STOP. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THEY WERE BUSY WHICH I THINK IS UNACCEPATABLE I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT OVER A WEEK TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR THIS SERVICE. BRAKE FAILURE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR ANY AUTOMOTIVE DEALER.MY TRUCK HAS ABOUT 33500 MILES AND I HAVE MAINTAINED AND SERVICED IT PROPERLY.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH DOWN AND WOULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK WITHIN THE NORMALLY EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCE. MOST OF THE TIME THE BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY FINE - THIS ISSUE SEEMED TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY, BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED ENOUGH TIMES I REALIZED IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A COUPLE PARKING LOTS, THE DRIVE-THRU AT MCDONALDS, AND WHILE BACKING UP A TRAILER. THESE INCIDENTS WERE SEPARATED BY MANY MONTHS, WITH THE BRAKES FINE IN BETWEEN. IT WASN'T UNTIL I RECEIVED THE SERVICE BULLETIN LETTER FROM CHEVY THAT I FULLY REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN FINE SINCE. CHEVY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE I WAS BEYOND THEIR 72,000 MILE LIMIT (ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED BEFORE I WAS AT THAT MILEAGE), SO I PAID $561 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE NEW PUMP INSTALLED. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. I REALIZED THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME WHICH WAS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP THE TRAILER FOR MY KIDS BOY SCOUT TROOP AND FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO STOP QUICKLY. I HAD TO LEAVE THE TRAILER WHERE I GOT IT TO STOP INSTEAD OF WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO PLACE IT.

WANT TO ENSURE MY VOICE IS HEARD/KNOWN IN THE LARGER COMPLAINT THAT IS DEVELOPING. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN THIS OCCURS.

APRIL 2019, I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GM, DESCRIBING THIS ISSUE AND SAYING IF I HAVE LESS THAN 72,000 MILES OR BOUGHT IT NEW WITHIN THE LAST 6 YEARS,WHICHEVER COME FIRST, THEY WILL FIX IT. BRAKES ARE A VERY SERIOUS COMPONENT. THIS PROBLEM DATES BACK TO THE 2014,S. I FEEL GM SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY REPAIR COST, SINCE THE PROBLEM CAME FROM THEIR PLANT. I HAVE MORE MILES ON MY TRUCK THAN THEY SAY THEY WILL COVER. BRAKES AND THE COMPONENTS ARE THINGS THEY SHOULD COVER. I HAVE INVOICES AND PROOF THAT I PAID THESE EXPENSES. EVERY PERSON PAYS HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A NEW VEHICLE. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BACK THEIR VEHICLES. I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET WHEN THIS PUMP WENT OUT. I HAD ALL I COULD DO TO STOP IT, USING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT, HARD BRAKE PEDAL, AND/OR POTENTIALLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DUE TO LOW MECHANICAL VACUUM PUMP OUTPUT. CONDITION IS MORE PREVALENT AT LOW SPEED WHEN SOFTLY APPLYING THE BRAKE. DECREASE VACUUM/POWER BRAKE ASSIST OVER TIME, FAILURE TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO CONDITIONS. DRIVER'S INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" ALERT WILL ACTIVATE 2-5 MINUTES AFTER DROPPING IN VACUUM LEVEL, AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) WILL ALSO BE SET.

PROBLEM CONTINUED TO REOCCUR AFTER TRAILER REMOVED FROM TRUCK AND BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND REMOVED THEM REAPPLIED. TRUCK WAS LOOKED AT BY DYER CHEVROLET THE NEXT DAY. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF ISSUE AS TECH HEARD MY DESCRIPTION AND HE STATED THERE WAS A BULLETIN FROM GM ON IT BUT IT WAS NOT RECALLED. AFTER RECEIVING ESTIMATE LATER THAT DAY FROM CHEVROLET I DECIDED TO TAKE TRUCK TO ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY THAT ESTIMATED REPAIR $500 CHEAPER THAN CHEVROLET DEALER. REPAIRS WERE MADE FOLLOWING THE GM BULLETIN AND USING GM PARTS FROM THE CHEVY DEALER FOR $1139 AS OPPOSED TO DYER CHEVROLET WANTING $1662 FOR A ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT MANY OTHERS ARE AFFECTED BY THE ISSUE AS WELL. IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP AS I AM SURE THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN AS GM HAS NOT CHANGED ANYTHING THEY HAVE MERELY CHARGED THE CUSTOMER TO PUT A BANDAID ON A PROBLEM THEY ENGINEERED. THE MECHANIC THAT ULTIMATELY REPAIRED TRUCK STATED GM KNOWS THEY HAVE PROBLEM AS THEY ONLY USED THAT BOOSTER PUMP ON 2015. THERE IS NO WAY A 50000 MILE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS FROM CHEVROLET DEALER THAT DESCRIBE ISSUE OF MECHANICAL FAILURE OF VACUUM PUMP. HOW IS IT NOT A RECALL ISSUE IF VACUUM PUMP MAY PUMP MOTOR OIL INTO BRAKE BOOSTER? THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. THIS IS A ENGINEERING FAILURE. I LOOK FORWARD TO HELPING ANY WAY I CAN TO GET THIS RECALLED. CONTACT ME AS NEEDED.

THE TRUCK CONTINUED MOVING AFTER I EXERTED AS MUCH FORCE AS I COULD ON THE PEDAL. LUCKILY THE CURB ASSISTED IN STOPPING THE TRUCK BEFORE I CRASHED INTO A WALL AS I HAD MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AT THE TIME. I AM ALSO GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CONDITIONS OBSERVED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE SYMPTOMS MATCH THOSE REPORTED UNDER BULLETIN PIT5361 REGARDING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FAILURE OF THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN AUGUST 2015. THE TRUCK HAS ABOUT 51,000 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 51,000

BRAKE FAILURE AT LOW SPEED. WHILE SITTING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL REACTS AS IF THE VEHICLE ISN'T RUNNING. PEDAL SEEMS HIGH AND HARD THEN SOFT AND LOW. VEHICLE WILL STOP WITH EXTREME PRESSURE ON PEDAL.

Mileage: 54,000

WENT TO GO USE MY BRAKES AND NOTICED THEY GOT REALLY HARD AND ALMOST HIT SOMEONE. I TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP, BELT, ETC..I HAD ASKED IF THIS WAS RECALLED THEY SAID NO .TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO BE 1600 TO FIX. I WENT HOME AND DID A LITTLE RESEARCH APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE. 2015 CHEVY 1500 65K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STUCK WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THAN USUAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO HAVE THE MECHANIC REPAIR THE VEHICLE THIS WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

LOW SPEED BRAKE ISSUE- BRAKING EFFORT INCREASED CONSIDERABLY AND VEHICLE AND CAUSED BECOME DIFFICULT TO STOP. WHILE PARKING VEHICLE IN PRIVATE PARKING LOT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY FIRM WITH NO TAKE UP AND TOOK CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FAILING BRAKE BOOSTER AND THAT IT IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MAKE MODEL OF VEHICLE. ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE WHEN THE BOOSTER BEGINS TO FAIL CAN DEPOSIT CONTAMINATES IN THE OIL SYSTEM THAT CAN PREMATURELY DAMAGE THE ENGINE. A INTERNET SEARCH PRODUCED A LONG LIST OF CUSTOMER WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES DESCRIBING THEIR EXPERIENCE OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IS COMMON ISSUE BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR MANUFACTURE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE VEHICLE SO THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY LOGGED MY COMPLAINT GM CASE #[XXX] BUT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO OFFER ANY REPAIR ASSISTANCE AT THIS TIME. WILL REPAIR VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

THE TRUCK IS INTERMITTENTLY HARD TO STOP, I BELIEVE IT IS LOSING VACUUM. I'VE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE TRUCK AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT LOW RPM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THE ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'M A 235 POUND MALE AND I BELIEVE A SMALLER PERSON WOULD HAVE EVEN MORE TROUBLE STOPPING WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF VACUUM. I READ IN A FORUM THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE ARTICLE THAT MENTIONED THE NHTSA I WOULD HAVE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT. I HAVE TO THINK THERE ARE OTHERS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND AREN'T SURE WHERE TO TURN OR REPORT THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP.

BRAKES SUDDENLY REQUIRED MUCH MORE EFFORT TO WORK. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS, AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN APPLIED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SLOWING FROM 50-80MPH. EXAMPLES OF WHEN THIS FREQUENTLY OCCURS ARE: ENTERING PARKING SPACES, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, APPROACHING TOLL BOOTHS ON HIGHWAYS, DESCENDING HILLS, AND ANY SITUATION WHERE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. CONDITION CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE NEEDED TO STAND ON BRAKES WHEN STOPPING IN MANY OCCASIONS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. LATELY THE CONDITION HAD WORSENED AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS AND SURVIVE BULLETINS FROM GM THAT INCLUDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD BE A FORCED SAFETY RECALL.

DRIVING NEWLY PURCHASED 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 AT 35-45 MPH ON FREEWAY (WHICH HAS A 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT). TRAFFIC AHEAD WAS SLOWING DOWN, AND THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED, SPEED WAS REDUCED, BUT WHEN THE CARS IN FRONT (WITH AT LEAST 5 CAR LENGTHS OF SPACE ) SUDDENLY STOPPED, AND I SLAMMED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES FAILED. I TRIED AND TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKES, BUT THE TRUCK DIDN'T STOP, AND I REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH ENDED UP REARING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF IT, AND SO FORTH. DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT RESPONDING, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP LIKE THE REST OF TRAFFIC, AND THUS, CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. (NOTE: THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE, NOT WENT ROAD, AS STATED ON POLICE REPORT.)

I HAVE A 2015 SILVERADO 1500 5.3 WITH ABOUT 90K MILES. WHILE I WAS PARALLEL PARKING, AFTER THE 2ND PUMP, I REALIZED THE TRUCK WASNT STOPPING. I HAD TO USE BOTH LEGS TO MAKE IT STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN THE BACK OF ME AND ALMOST CRUSHING A PEDESTRIAN. MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE. I DO HEAR AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AT ALL TIMES. KINDA LIKE A BAD PULLEY BEARING OR SOMETHING. NOTICED IT THE DAY THE TRUCK STARTED ACTING UP. I LOOKED ONLINE ON MUTIPLE WEBSITES AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

Mileage: 90,000

AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY GETS HARD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES.

Mileage: 75,000

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH APPROPRIATE FORCE ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE POWER... I WOULD EQUATE IT TO 85-90% BRAKE LOSS. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED OVER DOUBLE THE USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE. I DID END UP GOING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS THANKFULLY NOT HIT. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED MY TRUCK, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND ALL NORMAL PEDAL FEEL HAS BEEN RESTORED.

Mileage: 72,000

WHEN TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT FULLY STOP THE VEHICLE. ON 3 OCCASIONS NOW, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STOPPING THE TRUCK WHILE PARKING, COMING VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

Mileage: 39,000

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO BE UNRESPONSIVE ALMOST CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS LISTED AS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR LIGHT. BRAKE PEDAL INSTANTLY BECAME STIFF AND COULD NOT BE PRESSED DOWN. CHEVROLET FIXED THIS BY REPLACING ONLY THE PUMP. IT'S RECOMMENDED THE VACUUM LINES AND BRAKE BOOSTER BE REPLACED TOO DUE TO POTENTIAL OIL LEAKAGE WHICH STATES WILL CAUSE PUMP TO FAIL AGAIN. CHEVY DID NOT REPLACE ADDITIONAL PARTS FOR ME.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY TRUCK. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THE PEDAL FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING ON A BRICK. I DID GET MY TRUCK STOPPED AND GOT IT OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED MY DEALER WHO SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO STARTED A CASE # 9-5055710889, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. UPON FURTHER READING I DISCOVERED THE TSB FOR MY TRUCK TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, LINE , AND VACUM PUMP. THE TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED NOW. MY TRUCK HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT.

MY TRUCK BRAKES NORMALLY EXCEPT WHEN I STOPPED, THEN AT LOW SPEED THE TRUCK FAILS TO STOP. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (HITTING WALLS, POLES, A BUS) AND ITS EVEN WORSE GOING DOWNHILL. IT TAKES BOTH FEET AND ALL MY WEIGHT TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HAPPENS WHEN GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I'VE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET AND I'VE TALKED WITH GM TECHS AND IT'S A BAD PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP. PLEASE HELP!!!!

I ALMOST GOT INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (HITTING WALLS, POLES, A BUS) AND WAS EVEN WORSE GOING DOWNHILL. IT TOOK BOTH FEET AND ALL MY WEIGHT TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. MY DEALER SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS AT 11PSI WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 27. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 52,000

VACUUM PUMP. MY VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERY FEW PRESSES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT TOOK MUCH LONGER TO STOP. IT WAS SCARY AND I AM VERY THANKFUL I DIDN'T GET IN A WRECK. I GOT IT FIXED AT MY CHEVROLET DEALER. THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $600. WORST PART IS MY VEHICLE, A 2015, ONY HAD 27,000 MILES ON IT. STILL FEELS NEW AND THE BRAKES FAILED.

Mileage: 27,000

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE BACKING DOWN A SLOPED DRIVEWAY WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL HAS BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND BRAKING WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING A TRAILER, IT TAKES A GREATER APPLIED FORCE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE.

Mileage: 50,000

I HAD A BRAKE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP ON MY ON 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. I HAD THE VACUUM PUMP CHANGED ON 1/30/2019. MY BRAKES WERE LOSING PRESSURE WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY. MY BRAKES WOULD LOSE PRESSURE PRIMARILY WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. I HAVE NARROWLY MISSED HAVING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS (WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND PROPERTY) DUE TO THE PROBLEM. ON ONE INSTANCE, I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE GOING DOWN A HILL. BRAKING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED, AND SO WERE MY EFFORTS TO HALT MY TRUCK. I ALSO NOTICED MY BRAKES LOSING PRESSURE AFTER MY TRUCK GIVING ME SEVERAL ALERTS (WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED) ABOUT SERVICING THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM NOT SURE IF THAT HAS ANY BEARING ON THE VACUUM PUMP. I WILL ALSO BE REPLACING THE TRAILER BRAKE SWITCH ON MY TRUCK. I HOPE THIS FIXES EVERYTHING AND I WILL NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK SINCE ABOUT AUGUST OR SO.

Mileage: 65,000

AS MY WIFE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCERLATE. SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND STILL WOULD NOT ACCERLATE. SO DUE TO THIS THE TRUCK SLOWLY ROLLED FOWARD. SHE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT MOVE. LIKE IF THEY BECAME LOCKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE AN INCH. AT THIS POINT SHE IS TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER, TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THEN SHE FINDS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO LOCKED AND CAN NOT BE TURNED. IT'S TAKING HER MAXIMUM EFFORT TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM ROLLING FORWARD AND TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES. SHE IS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT 100 YARDS OF EFFORT AND WAITS ABOUT 10 MINUTES, BEFORE THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD FREE UP. NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS PRESENT THE ENTIRE TIME THESE FUNCTIONS WERE DISABLED AND AFTER THEY FREED UP, IT WAS LIKE IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS VEHICLE. STRONG BELIEF THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.

Mileage: 49,000

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD TO PRESS WHEN FREQUENTLY STOPPING, SUCH AS BACKING UP A TRAILER OR IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT MORE THAN ONCE. IT IS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT THERE ARE NO FAULT INDICATORS OR CODES DISPLAYED. IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN AND THEN START RANDOMLY IN TRAFFIC.

WHEN HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, SLOW TRAFFIC, STOP LIGHTS, BACKING A TRAILER. THE BRAKES BECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AND DO NOT FUNCTION. EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS BACKING A TRAILER DOWN A BOAT RAMP OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR

WHEN TRAVELING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD AND YOU CAN NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES TOO MANY, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, $709.00 LATER, THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP. DEALER STATED THEY HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 43,362

ON TWO OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STIFF AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN ON A BUSY CITY STREET. MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. CAUSING ME TO ROLL INTO THE PATH OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I MANAGED TO STOP AND THE OTHER VEHICLE AVOIDED ME. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS MORNING AS I BACKED INTO MY DRIVE WAY. AS I ATTEMPTED TO STOP MY PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DESPITE STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE IT STRUCK MY UTILITY TRAILER. THANKFULLY NO DAMAGED OCCURRED. I CONTACTED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT MISSION CHEVROLET IN EL PASO, TEXAS AND WAS ADVISED THE PART IS IN HEAVY DEMAND AND WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR 7 TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS.

Mileage: 61,000

WHILE BACKING UP VEHICLE, AT A SLOW SPEED, GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, BACKING DOWN HILL, BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND REQUIRED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT MORE BRAKING EFFORT WITH MUCH LESS EFFECT. AFTER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND MOVED FORWARD, THIS WAS STILL PRESENT. VEHICLE WAS AGAIN STOPPED AND THEN POWER CYCLED. THIS RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL.

BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD, AND BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. USUALLY AT LOW SPEED, AND IT HAS MADE IT INTERESTING AT PARKING LOTS, OR STOP & GO TRAFFIC, AND PARKING IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. GOOGLED THE SYMPTOMS, AMD IT APPEARS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MORE CHEVROLET SILVERADOS THAN MINE, AND THE TECH'S SAY IT'S A BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ISSUE. I THINK CHEVROLET NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, SINCE IT'S HAPPENING TO SEVERAL TRUCKS, IT'S NOT JUST A FLAWED PUMP, BUT MORE LIKELY A PUMP WEEKNESS OVERALL. HAPPENED FIRST TIME A YEAR AGO, WHEN IN A FERRY LANE, AND THE SPEED WAS WALKING SPEED, AND WE BARELY MANAGED TO STOP BEFORE WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US.

AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE IN MOTION EITHER IN TRAFFIC, DRIVEWAYS OR PARKING LOTS THE POWER BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND WOULD NOT STOP. WHILE THIS DID NOT CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS, IT WAS A NEAR MISS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THE BRAKE "VACUUM PUMP HAS FAILED". THEY STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $700.89. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED ON 11/28/2018, WITH NO OCCURANCES OF THIS ISSUE SINCE. THE TRUCK HAD 59,108 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF VACUUM PUMP REPLACEMENT.

THE VEHICLES STOPPING DISTANCE CHANGES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TOWARD THE FLOOR. THIS ISSUE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO MY GARAGE DOOR WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE ISSUE IS BEST DESCRIBED IN THE PENDING INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE GM BRAKING SYSTEM LOCATED UNDER CHEVROLET SILVERADO RECALLS. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE INVESTIGATION AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLES BRAKES. THE INVESTIGATION STATEMENT DESCRIBES THE ISSUE AS A PROBLEM WITH DEGRADING BRAKE VACUUM COMPONENT.

I HAVE TO PUT MY FULL BODY WEIGHT (I'M A 200LB MALE) ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I MEAN I BARELY CAN BRING IT TO A STOP. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING IN THE TIME IT TOOK FROM THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIGURED OUT TO BE A BAD VACUUM PUMP. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH NOT MANY OWNERS REPORTING THEIR PROBLEMS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I COULDN'T IMAGINE THAT HAPPENING AT HIGH SPEED, AS REPORTED BY OTHERS. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES DO THAT.

BRAKE PEDDLE RANDOMLY BECOMES HARD TO PUSH AND WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AFTER OTHERWISE NORMAL FUNCTIONING. THIS OCCURS GENERALLY AT LOW SPEEDS IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS BUT RANDOMLY

Mileage: 36,700

I WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED DRIVING STRAIGHT WHILE PARKING MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKES BECAME ROCK HARD AND COULD BARELY STOP WHICH I CAME INCHES FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TRAVELING UNDER 5MPH JUST COASTING WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE NOTHING WAS HAPPENING WHICH I HAD TO PUT A LOT OF FORCE TO JUST BARELY STOP MY TRUCK IN TIME. THE DEALERSHIP I VISITED TOLD ME THE VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKES WAS GOING OUT AND REPLACED IT SINCE I HAVE A 4 MONTH OLD BABY AND NEED A RELIABLE CAR. MY TRUCK ONLY HAD AROUND 50K MILES ON IT AND ALL THE CHEVY CARS MY FAMILY HAS OWNED HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH BRAKE BOOSTERS OR VACUUM PUMPS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ENOUGH PROBLEM THAT CHEVY HAS A BULLETIN FOR HARD BRAKE PEDALS DURING LOW SPEED. RUNNING A SEARCH ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE COMES BACK WITH MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND QUITE A FEW HAVING REPEATED REPAIRS WITH THE PROBLEM ONLY RECURRING. THE BRAKES ARE NOT JUST HARD BUT PRETTY MUCH NON FUNCTIONAL WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AND REALLY IS PRETTY SCARY WHEN I AM DRIVING AROUND MY BABY THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. FOR SUCH A KEY COMPONENT OF VEHICLE SAFETY, THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS A CLOSE LOOK AND A RECALL TO REMEDY THIS KNOWN DEFECT. THERE IS NO REASON THIS COMPONENT SHOULD GO OUT IN A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 SILVERADO PRE-OWNED WITH 2,000 MILES IN OCTOBER 2016. IN MAY OF 2018 I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH MULTIPLE STATES. I WAS STUCK IN SLOW TRAFFIC FOR MULTIPLE HOURS DUE TO AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS THEN THAT I FIRST EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN MOVING AT A VERY SLOW PACE, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO LOSE THE POWER ASSIST. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR IT'S OIL SERVICE AT CASTROVILLE CHEVROLET ON 6/22/2018. I MENTIONED THIS ISSUE TO THE SERVICE WRITER WHO WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE SILVERADO BRAKES. AT THE TIME IT WAS COST PROHIBITIVE FOR ME TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED AND COULD NOT LOSE THE VEHICLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN, AGAIN ONLY AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS PARKING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 11/28/2018 WITH CASTROVILLE CHEVROLET TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION. I BELIEVED IT TO BE A VACUUM ISSUE AS IT ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS.

Mileage: 42,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY APPROX 40 MPH, TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY AND I APPLIED AS MUCH FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I WAS PHYSICALLY ABLE TO. THE TRUCK BEGAN SLOWING BUT NOT NEARLY FAST ENOUGH AND I COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKE PERFORMANCE SEEMS TO HAVE DECLINED OVER TIME AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. THERE APPEARED TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED. I AM REPORTING BECAUSE I READ AN ARTICLE REGARDING A PROBE INTO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON THE YEAR TRUCK THAT I OWN. AT THE TIME I DID NOT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT BUT NOW I BELIEVE THAT THIS BRAKING ISSUE MAY HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED IN THE COLLISION.

Mileage: 75,000

BRAKES FAILED EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN NOV 26 CONSUMER REPORT ARTICLE AND EXACTLY AS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA. BRAKES FAILED WHILE IN MOTION AT OUR LOCAL TRANSFER STATION (DUMP) WHILE TURNING - BACKING UP AND PULLING FORWARD. BRAKES FAILED WHEN THE TRUCKS RPM FELL BELOW 800 RPM AND THE VACUUM ASSIST FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP AND I AM A LARGE MAN. HAVE COPY OF REPAIR BILL FROM DEALER DATED 10/03/18. DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUES AND HAD SERVICED OTHER CHEVROLET VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIV/GM. MADE A CALL, SEND AND -MAIL AND WROTE A LETTER. NO RESPONSE TO LETTER OR E-MAIL ASKING FOR A REFUND. RECEIVED A CALL IN RESPONSE TO MY CALL. CHEV REP STATED THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM.?? TOLD THE CALLER THAN ONLY NEED TO CHECK THE INTERNET TO FIND MANY COMPLAINTS. CONSUMER REPORTS THAT ONLY 111 COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THERE ARE MANY MORE. I SUSPECT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS WILL INCREASE NOT THAT THE "CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG" SO TO SPEAK. PLEASE INSIST ON A RECALL I THINK IT WILL SAVE LIVES. NO NEED TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES.

WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING STALL SLOWLY AND TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS AND USED BOTH FEET TO PRESS ON THE PEDAL TO EVENTUALLY MAKE THE TRUCK COME TO A STOP. CAUSED A MINOR (COSMETIC) SCRAPE ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BUMPER (SCRAPED CONCRETE WALL) DUE TO THE INABILITY TO STOP WHEN BRAKE WERE BEING PRESSED.

Mileage: 39,000

AT LOW SPEEDS MY BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PRESS. THE PEDAL GETS REALLY TIGHT AND WILL NOT PRESS DOWN. THE LONGER YOU TRY TO PRESS THE TIGHTER THEY GET. THE TRUCK WILL BARELY STOP BEFORE I ALMOST HIT SOMETHING. DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENTLY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I GO FROM A STOP, THEN ACCELERATE SLOWLY AND THEN TRY TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP (EX. WHEN PARKING).

Mileage: 50,000

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND BRAKES INEFFECTIVE IF THE PEDAL IS PUSHED AND RELEASED AT IDLE. BRAKE DO NOT START WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN UNTIL THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN PRESSED. "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE DIAGNOSTICS SCREEN. DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP.

Mileage: 80,000

I APPLIED THE BRAKES FIRMLY FOR A CAR STOPPING SHORT UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE HIGHWAY. I RELEASED THE BRAKE FOR A SECOND OR TWO TO ALLOW ROOM FOR THE CAR BEHIND ME TO STOP IN TIME. WHEN I REAPPLIED THE BRAKE THE SECOND TIME, THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO BRAKING ACTION. THE PEDAL DID NOT MORE AND DID NOT TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST. I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM LATER AT LOW SPEED WHEN THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT REPLACED THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THE CONDITION HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE IN MAY. I HAVE INCLUDED A COPY OF THE SERVICE INVOICE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I SEE ON THE NEWS YOU ARE INVESTIGATING BRAKE ISSUES.

I WENT TO PARK THE TRUCK AT THE HOTEL I WAS STAYING AT SHORTLY AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS IN REVERSE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AGAIN THE TRUCK HAD A HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. I DIDNT HIT ANYTHING THANK GOT BUT IT SCARED ME PRETTY GOOD. I CARPOOLED WITH A COWORKER FOR THE REST OF THAT WEEK WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK. I ENDED UP DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 3 HRS AWAY FRIDAY EVENING AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE TRUCK MUCH SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND SINCE I HAD SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRUCK GOES INTO THE DEALER 11/27/18 AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE WHAT NEEDS REPLACING. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 9/26/18 WITH 21,000 MILES ROUGHLY AND THE TRUCK NOW 25,773.

I BROUGHT MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AS MY BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. STOPPING REQUIRED VERY FORCEFULLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. ON NOVEMBER 7, 2018 THE REPAIR SHOP CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE GIVEN THAT THE VEHICLE IS A RECENT MODEL WITH LIMITED MILEAGE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER TAKING A LENGTHY DRIVE THE VEHICLE HAD SAME BRAKE PROBLEMS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE GOING DOWN A HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR ON NOVEMBER 15TH. REPAIR SHOP CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND SPOKE WITH PARTS MANAGER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO AS THEY HAD A 2016 SILVERADO IN THERE SHOP SAME DAY FOR SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY DEALER PARTS MANAGER INDICATED THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL BUT THEY DID NOTICE AN ISSUE AS THEY HAD SOLD 10 ABS PUMPS IN JUST ONE WEEK! THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ABS PUMP. THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT PLACED MY FAMILY AT RISK AND COST ME MORE THAN $900. MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT IN THE RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THERE BEEN A NEED TO STOP QUICKLY I FEEL CONFIDENT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION.

THE TRUCK SHAKES AT SPEEDS OF FROM 35 MPH, THEN IT STOPS AND WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 ON THE THRUWAY IT SHAKES AGAIN. THE VIBRATION IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE GAS PEDEL AND INTO THE SEATS AND CONSOLE. ALSO WHEN BRAKEING IT SHAKES. ITS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO THE VOLTAGE METER DROPS AND I LOSE DASH BOARD LIGHTS.THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'M TIRED OF LOSEING VALUABLE DAYS OFF TO DRIVE UP TO DENOOYER CHEVY IN ALBANY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS AGAIN. THE TRUCK TRAVELS STRAIGHT AND TRUE BUT SHAKES AT THOSE SPEEDS, SOMETIME IT MAKES A DROWNING SOUND AS IT HAPPENS.ITS IN THE FRONT END PART OF THE SUSPENSION I BELIEVE.

WHILE DRIVING INTO TOWN FROM A WEEKEND TRIP, WHEN TRYING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT FROM THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY BECAME STIFF AND WOULDN'T SLOW THE VEHICLE. IT REQUIRED BOTH FEET PRESSING DOWN HARD ON THE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME. AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING IT, THE BRAKE PEDAL RELEASED ITS PRESSURE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. HOWEVER, WHEN COMING TO A STOP TO BACK INTO MY GARAGE, THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN, WAS UNDER PRESSURE, AND WOULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE UNLESS EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS APPLIED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, JUST FEET FROM THE WALL IN THE ALLEY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WHILE GOING 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, OR I PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WRITE THIS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY THE VACUUM PUMP WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER HAVING TO SHELL OUT MORE THAN $700 ON A PART FOR A TRUCK THAT'S A 2015 WITH 63,000 MILES WITH NO OTHER ISSUES, IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHEVROLET. THIS ISN'T A PART THAT SHOULD FAIL ON THE VEHICLE.

MY COMPLAINT OR SAFETY NOTICE IS THAT ON AUGUST 12 2018 THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 BEGAN COMPRESSING A SHORT DISTANCE AND THEN BECAME EXTREMELY HARD, THE VEHICLE IS BY ALL PHYSICAL MEANS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP EVEN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER BELIEVING IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE "BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PUMP AND BOOSTER HAD FAILED DUE TO INTERNAL CONTAMINATION. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE VEHICLE SENSING SYSTEM TO ADVISE THE OPERATOR TO HAVE THE BRAKES SERVICED FOR THIS ISSUE. CHEVROLET ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB #PIT5361A & #PIT5361B) IN 2016. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MINE BRAKES FAILED AFTER JUST PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY FROM A 600 MILE TRIP. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED, AS WOULD ANY VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN A CAR I COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY HIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE, AND THERE ARE AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS POSTED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND. IT WILL COST ME $1626 FOR THE REPAIR, I ASSUME THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE SAME TYPE THAT FAILED. UNDOUBTEDLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES DRIVING AROUND AS I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT THAT ARE UNAWARE THEIR BRAKES MIGHT FAIL THE NEXT MOMENT THEY NEED THEM. ASK YOURSELF IF THIS HAS ALREADY CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, BUT THE FAILURE PERHAPS COULD NOT BE PINPOINTED DUE TO THE DAMAGE OF THE CRASH, REMEMBER THERE IS NO SENSOR OR WARNING FOR THIS ISSUE BEING LOGGED INTO THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM. ODDS ARE THIS HAS ALREADY CAUSED HARM. I'M ASKING THAT A RECALL BE IMPLEMENTED AND A SAFETY WARNING BE IMMEDIATELY RELEASED FOR VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. YOUR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION COULD SAVE A LIFE.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS AT LOW IDLE SPEED. WHEN TRUCK IS PUT IN GEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND VEHICLE CANNOT STOP. BRAKE PEDAL ALSO DOES THIS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CHEVROLET SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? THE PROBLEM IS A MECHANICAL PUMP CALLED A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP. WE WERE TOLD THIS CAN BE REPLACED FOR $1100 AND IS NOT A WARRANTED PART. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW SPEED IS TO HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GIVE VEHICLE GAS TO INCREASE THE RPM'S. HOW IS THIS SAFE?

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP AND PIPE. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND TOLD THEM THAT I AM HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE.

SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS BRAKES TO BE RELIED ON A RUBBER BAND AND A 5 DOLLAR CHINA BEARING. I FEEL THIS IS A POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN AND COULD EASILY BEEN AVOIDED. NOW COMES THE ENJOYMENT OF HAVING IT REPAIRED AND ONLY A DEALER AVAILABLE PART. TRUCK JUST TURNED 50K AND MY DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THIS ITEM IS NOT.COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A 1 WEEK PERIOD, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. A NOISE COULD BE HEARD SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN ACTIVE ABS. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO A CROWDED PARKING LOT. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT A COLLISION WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS PARKING AT A CURB IN THE MAIN AREA OF MY TOWN AND AGAIN HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. INTERNET RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

Mileage: 41,000

THE BRAKES WILL BECOME VERY HARD TO PRESS WHEN THEY BECOME HOT. DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND IN REVERSE, AFTER THE BRAKES ARE HOT (HIGHYWAY DRIVING, THEN DOWN TO CITY TRAFFIC). VERY DANGEROUS IF NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 80,100

LEFT SIDE BRAKE CALLIPER SUPPORT BOLT FELL OUT OF TOP MOUNT.(LOST ON HWY). BOTTOM BOLT HALF WAY OUT. CALLIPER STARTED SCRUBBING INNER REM. VIBRATION AND LOUD POPPING NOISE.

Mileage: 36,822

I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING STALL THE THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN! BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOLID AND WOULD NOT DEPRESS TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO A STOP. ONLY AFTER EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE WAS THERE ANY BRAKING ACTION, BUT ONLY SLIGHT. BECAUSE OF THIS I HIT THE WALL BEHIND THE TRUCK. IF SOMEONE WAS THERE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. GM/CHEVROLET HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE. AN INTERNET SEARCH CAME BACK WITH 312,000 RESULTS. I'VE TALKED TO MY SELLING CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY RELUCTANT TO DEAL WITH IT. DOES SOMEBODY NEED TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THIS IS THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED.

Mileage: 49,000

HAVE NOT EVEN HAD MY CHEVY FOR A YEAR AND THE BRAKES SEIZED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT STOP. NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN SOME ISSUES HAVING IT TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO SEE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, LOOKS AS IF GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, SO DON'T KNOW WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE, COULD OF BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS I TRAVEL ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

Mileage: 50,000

WHILE IN A PARKING LOT, THERE WAS AN ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS. ONLY AFTER PRESSING MULTIPLE TIMES AND VERY HARD WAS THERE ANY BRAKING ACTION WHICH SLOWED THE TRUCK. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN, PIT5361 ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

Mileage: 48,000

NEED TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP AND LINE BECAUSE BRAKES ARE WICKED SOFT. AT SLOW SPEEDS TRUCK DOESNT WANT TO STOP. FOR EXAMPLE IN TRAFFIC OR PARKING. WHEN I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE SEEN A HANDFUL OF OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE

TRUCK HAS 62K. TRUCK WILL NOT STOP AT LOW SPEEDS. COULD EASILY BACK INTO AND OR OVER SOMETHING OR SOMEONE VERY EASILY. MORE FREQUENT WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHILE BACKING UP. I ALMOST BACKED INTO A ROLL UP DOOR BEFORE SLAMMING ON THE PARKING BRAKE. TOOK TRUCK INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VACUUM PUMP, VACUUM BELT AND HOSE FROM VACUUM PUMP TO BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY FIX.

Mileage: 62,000

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES AN HOUR DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND AS I WENT TO PUSH ON THE BREAK, IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD. I COULD NOT PUSH THE BREAK DOWN AT ALL, AND MY CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I PLACED IT IN NEUTRAL AND WAS PUSHING AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BREAK WITH BOTH FEET. FINALLY, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I PUT ME EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND CROSSES OVER 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC, AS I WAS IN THE CARPOOL LANE, TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE VACUUM PRESSURE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES ENGAGED ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 1,000 RPMS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFORMANCE CHEVROLET (4811 MADISON AVE, SACRAMENTO, CA 95841) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

Mileage: 46,000

NOTICED FAILURE OF VEHICLE TO STOP. LACK OF POWER ASSIST BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL IS ROCK HARD WITH LITTLE TO ZERO TRAVEL (1/4' AT MOST). VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE (REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL) FOR SEVERAL FEET. WHILE THIS HAS OCCURRED IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS; THE ISSUE IS CONSISTENTLY OBSERVED IN REVERSE.

Mileage: 37,600

RECEIVED AN ALERT AROUND 63,500 MILES "ALERT: SERVICE BREAK ASSIST." DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR NOTIFIED ME THAT PROBLEM WAS "BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO VACUUM BOSTER. BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED." COST $1172.61. BREAK BASICALLY WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY WHEN PRESSED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN SO EARLY. I'VE ONLY HAD TRUCK FOR TWO YEARS. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX THIS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN INJURY TO MYSELF OR MY FAMILY.

Mileage: 663,500

POWER BRAKES FAIL AT LOW SPEED REQUIRING MORE PRESSURE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES I WHILE PARKING OR IDLE SPEEDS.

Mileage: 75,000

WHEN PUMPING MY BRAKES FOR TRAFFIC, BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR DRIVING IN GENERAL ETC., BRAKES WILL FAIL AND MY TRUCK KEEPS ROLLING. NOT SAFE WHAT SO EVER AS I AM STOMPING ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I CAN AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE BY CONTACTING CHEVROLET FOR A RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH THIS TRUCK MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS A PROBLEM AND GM NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED FOR BRAKE FAILURE. TRUCK IS NOT EVEN PAST 40,000 MILES!!!

Mileage: 40,000

BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO HARD ON SPORATIC OCCASSIONS AT LOW SPEEDS

Mileage: 36,845

THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW RPM, STOP LIGHT, PARKING LOT, ETC. WHEN BRAKE IS DEPRESSED THE PEDAL IS HARD TO PRESS AND THE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED AND THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A BULLETIN IN FEBRUARY 2015, MY 2015 WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2015. WHEN I COMPLAINED OF THE ISSUE AT DEALER, I WAS TOLD I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR ON A KNOWN DEFECT.

Mileage: 58,000

BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IN REVERSE. MAKES A TICKING SOUND LIKE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ARE KICKING IN BUT NO DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. ALMOST REAR ENDED A VEHICLE TRAVELLING 25MPH BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL IN A PARKING LOT TO AVOID COLLISION. TRUCK HAS 79XXX MILES

HARD BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND TRUCK HARD TO STOP. POSSIBLE BRAKE BOOSTER DEFECT. ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN PARKING STALL, HAD TO PUT TRUCK IN N TO STOP. COMMUTING TO WORK IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED AND PEDAL BECOMES HARD, TRUCK HARD TO STOP.

Mileage: 51,014

WHEN TAKING A LONG, RATHER SHARP TURN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WAS RESISTING AGAINST THE TURN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO INITIATE WHEN THE PEDAL WAS STEPPED, BUT IMMEDIATELY BECAME VERY HARD AND COULD BARELY SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT DUE TO THE DELAY AND DIFFICULTY IN BRAKING.

Mileage: 49,000

BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN I DROVE AT LOW SPEED. I IGNORED IT ONCE IN JULY 2017. BUT I HAD SAME ISSUE AGAIN ON AUG. 31 AND SEP 1 AT THE PARKING LOT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I FIXED MY ISSUE AT CHEVY DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP. (~42000 MILES ON THE TRUCK)

Mileage: 42,000

ABOUT 41000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I HAD BRAKING PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AT PARKING LOT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP DUE TO THE BRAKING ISSUE. I FELT LOOSING PRESSURE WHILE BRAKING. I HAD THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES. ON JULY 16, I NOTICED THE ISSUE THEN IT DID NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN ON AUGUST 31 AND SEPTEMBER 1. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL. I HAD TO SPENT ABOUT $500 FOR NEW VACUUM PUMP.

Mileage: 41,000

THE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE COULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS REALLY HARD TO BRAKE. A;MOST HAD A WRECK CAUSE I COULD BRAKE PROPERLY ON TIME

Mileage: 10

POWER BRAKES STOP WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THE VACUUM PUMP IS FAILING. SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES HARD AND REQUIRES ALOT OF EXTRA EFFORT TO STOP. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE REAR OF A CAR IN A DRIVE-THRU.

Mileage: 41,000

AT A LOW SPEED COMING INTO MY CARPORT THE BRAKES HAD A HARD PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. 5-27-2017 AND AGAIN WHILE BACKING UP TO MY LAWN MOWER TAILOR ON 5-29-2017 . NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT YOU COULD NOT PRESS PEDAL DOWN AT ALL. ?????

Mileage: 34,463

I WENT TO BACK OUT MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKES DID NOT APPLY. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY FAILED AGAIN. I APPLIED THE GAS AND WENT ON MY WAY THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK FINE. BUT FROM IDLE TO SLOW SPEEDS (1-10 MPH) THE BRAKES FAIL AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I CAN OR IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL. HAVE DODGED SEVERAL CARS AT RED LIGHTS.

Mileage: 51,642

FRONT BRAKES ON LEFT SIDE STICK AND WEAR UNEVENLY AND RAPIDLY. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED TWICE WITH 80% PAD LIFE ON RIGHT SIDE BY MIDAS. MIDAS STATED THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE PISTON/CALIPER AND A NEW HOSE WHICH IS LARGER ALLOWING THE BRAKES TO RELEASE PROPERLY.

Mileage: 20,000

WHILE DRIVING MY FAMILY, I LOST OVER 90% OF MY STOPPING POWER WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY ON AN OFF RAMP. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD ALREADY SLOWED DOWN OFF THE RAMP TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY (AND NOT JUST MOMENTS BEFORE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY). AFTER EXTREME CAUTION AND SMART USE OF DOWN-SHIFTING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY NAVIGATE INTO A PARKING LOT THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE TO WHERE THE INCIDENT FIRST HAPPENED. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A VACUUM PUMP FAILURE AND REPLACED IT (NOTE THAT THEY OFFERED NO OTHER EXPLANATION OTHER THAN WHAT FAILED AND THAT IT WAS FIXED). THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE OKAY FOR NOW, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY (AND MY FAMILY'S) SAFETY AND OVERALL RELIABILITY OF THIS TRUCK. WHO'S TO SAY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I'M IN A MORE HIGH-SPEED SITUATION?

Mileage: 34,000

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, ABS LIGHT CAME ON SPORADICALLY. WHILE ABS LIGHT WAS ON, BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD ENGAGE. TWO DAYS AFTER INCIDENT, ABS SHOWS CONSTANT, ALL THE TIME, ABS BRAKES RANDOMLY ENGAGE.

TRAILER NOT CONNECT WARNING

Mileage: 12,000

CHECK TRAILER WIRING WARNING - WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, WEATHER, SMOOTH VERSUS ROUGH ROADS, WHILE PULLING TWO DIFFERENT TRAILERS, THE TRUCK INDICATES TO CHECK THE WIRING AND 1 SECOND LATER IT INDICATED THE TRAILER IS CONNECTED. IT MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A MILE AND THEN NOT OCCUR FOR 50 MILES. ONE TIME THERE WAS A MESSAGE TO CHECK THE BRAKE CONTROLLER. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I HOOK A TRAILER UP TO THE TRUCK. TRUCK IS AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I PULLED THE SAME TRAILERS WITH MY 2012 CHEVY PICKUP, I DID NOT HAVE THIS CONCERN. ONLY STARTED WITH THE NEW TRUCK. IS A CONCERN WHEN THE TRAILER BRAKES DO NOT WORK DURING THIS TIME. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN I TOW MY TRAVEL TRAILER AGAIN.

Mileage: 12,000
