THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,382.

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. HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM REMAINS FUNCTIONAL BUT MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PEDAL FORCE.

MY VACUUM PUMP ON MY 2015 HIGH COUNTRY SILVERADO IS GOING BAD, IS WHAT THE CHEVY DEALER DIAGNOSED AFTER I EXPLAINED HOW WHEN I REVERSE SPECIALLY IT FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES ARE FAILING AND THEN THE PEDDLE GETS SUPER HARD. THEY SAID ITS NOT NORMAL BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL SAFE IN MY CHEVROLET TRUCK IF MY BRAKES CAN SUDDENLY GO OUT?

MY TRUCK HAS A STUCK LIFTER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING HAD MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. IN ADDITION, WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BUFF WHELAN (40445 VAN DYKE AVE, STERLING HEIGHTS MI.) WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

HAVE BEEN PARKING OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES AND BRAKE HARDENS AND LOCKS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE STUCK IN SLOW TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON DIFFERENT DAYS.

BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP FAILS. SPECIAL BULLETIN ISSUES WITH WARRANTY EXTENSION. WHAT GM IS FAILING TO TELL PEOPLE, BRAKING DOES NOT SIMPLY BECOME DIFFICULT AT LOW SPEEDS, BRAKES FAIL AT NORMAL SPEEDS. VEHICLE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED AFTER EXTREME EXTENSION OF NORMAL BRAKING DISTANCE. AFTER SUGGESTED WARRANTY REPAIR I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ISSUES.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF A BRAKING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN 2015 AND HAVE HAD THEM INSPECTED AT SEVERAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS, STONEBRIAR CHEVROLET N FRISCO, HUFFINES CHEVROLET IN LEWISVILLE. WE HAVE MOVED AND I TOOK INTO TODAY AND NOW THAT THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY I'M BEING TOLD I HAVE A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP THAT COULD CAUSE MY BRAKES TO FAIL. THE DEALER, PETERS CHEVROLET IN LONGVIEW, ALSO STATES UNFORUNTELY HE CANNOT SEE MY SERVICE RECORDS TO CONFIRM THE PREVIOUS BRAKE CHECKS WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM IS TAKING NO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS AND DEMANDING A CHANGE OF $600 TO REPLACE. PLEASE HELP.

LOSS OF POWER BRAKING WHILE TRAVELING SLOWING AND USING THE BRAKES

BRAKE FAILURE , WHILE PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT , BRAKES LOSE PRESSURE AND BECOME VERY STIFF AND STOP WORKING. THE PEDAL BECOMES QUITE HARD AND WILL NOT WORK CAUSING VEHICLE TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSE. ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, I HAVE BARELY MISSED IMPACTING THE CARS ACROSS THE PARKING LOT.

I HAVEN'T USED THE A/C IN MY TRUCK SINCE LAST OCTOBER (2018) APPROXIMATELY. TWO WEEKS AGO WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE TRIED TO USE MY A/C AND IT IS ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR, AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED, THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF VEHICLES FROM GM FROM 2014-2017 AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.THIS IS NOT OKAY, WHATSOEVER.

WHILE DRIVING SLOW AND MAKING A HARD LEFT TURN EVERYTHING FLASHES OFF 0N DASH ,THEN ON, ON DASH,BUT ENGINE SHUTS OFF CAUSING STEERING AND BRAKING SAFETY CONCERNS,THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN LAST TWO WEEK TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY COULDN'T

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FELT VERY HARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE HEADLIGHTS TO BE VERY DIM. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO JUD KUHN CHEVROLET (3740 HWY 9 E, LITTLE RIVER, SC 29566) AND THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,216.

NOTICED PAINT IS FLAKING ON PASSENGER REAR DOOR NEXT TO THE WINDOW NOW THE OTHER DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOW PEELING. DEALER WILL NOT FIX PROBLEM DUE TO TRUCK BEING OUT OF WARRANTY BY 3,000 MILES.

VACUM PUMP FOR BRAKES WENT OUT. WHEN BACKING UP OR PULLING FORWARD AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDEL STIFFINS UP AND DOESNT STOP THE VEHICLE.

WHEN BACKING DOWN A STEEP INCLINE, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. I CAN BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN BACKING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I BACK A BOAT INTO WATER. THE DEALER ADVISED REPLACING THE VACUUM PUMP AND HOSE WITH NEW DESIGN.

BAD LIFTER CAUSES ENGINE FAILURE AT 100,006 MILES. ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION HAS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTS FROM PARK TO REVERSE, AND SLIPS BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH. DOESN'T THROW ANY CODES SO DEALER SAYS IT'S FINE.BUT IT'S OBVIOUSLY RUINING ITSELF. READING ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS COMPLAINTS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PAINT ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS PEELING AND THE ROOF WAS RUSTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED AND SENT A PHOTO TO GARY RUSS CHEVROLET (1420 SC-72, GREENWOOD, SC 29649, (864) 538-4260), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHEN BACKING UP I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY STIFF BARELY ABLE TO STOP.

THERE IS A FAULTY AC CONDENSER COMPONENT THAT LEAKS. THIS CAUSES ALL THE FREON TO BE SPILLED OUT AND MAKE THE AC BLOW HOT AIR.

TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCES A SHUDDER THAT CYCLES EVERY 3 SECONDS. THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD BEEN REPLACED BUT AFTER 45000 MILES IT HAS RETURNED. DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED A NEW TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACEMENT. ALSO HAD A AFM LIFTER THAT COLLAPSED AND WAS REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BECK AND MASTEN BUICK GMC SOUTH (12820 GULF FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77034, (713) 396-3510) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CODE REQUIRED AN UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, DENOOYER CHEVROLET, FROM WHICH IT HAD BEEN BOUGHT NEW AND BY WHICH IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED TO REMEDY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PRIOR TO 80,000 MILES WITH AUTHORIZATION TO PERFORM ANY DIAGNOSTIC AND REMEDIATION COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER DID NOT MAKE REPAIR AND ADVISED IT WOULD COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO EVEN FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I NOW HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A SEPARATE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD A CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS GONE BAD. HOWEVER, I AM NOW SLIGHTLY AT 89,000 MILES. DEALER IS SAYING WARRANTY ON CATALYTIC CONVERTS EXPIRED AT 80,000 MILES. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. A/C COOLING COIL CRACKED UNDER 80,000 MILES AS WELL DUE TO A FAULTY PART, AND APPARENTLY THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 30,000 MILES.

BRAKES STOP WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN REVERSING. FEEL LIKE THEY GET COMPLETELY STIFF AT LOW SPEEDS, AND DONT WORK AGAIN UNTIL I INCREASE THE AMPS. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP. GETTING LOOKED AT TODAY. TRUCK HAS 77K MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE VACUUM POWER ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES MAKING IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO BRAKE AND STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE COLLIDING WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. A VEHICLE WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION DISPLAY STATING SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY AFTER SUSTAINED CONTINUOUS DRIVING WITHOUT BRAKING WHEN THE VACUUM SYSTEM WAS ABLE TO RECOVER.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE WITH MY FAMILY EVERYTHING FILLS FINE WHEN I GET TO THE PARKING LOT I TRY TO STOP AND MY TRUCK JUST KEEP GOING I HAVE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK I DRIVE AROUND TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS BECAUSE IS A NEW TRUCK IT THAS IT AGAIN SO NOW MY TRUCK IS PARKED ON MY HOUSE BECAUSE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

CRACKED WELD IN AC CONDENSER. HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS GM PICKUPS AND SUV'S IN THIS YEAR.

THE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY WILL GET HARD WHEN DEPRESSING AT A LOW SPEED AND FAIL TO WORK. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS COMING TO A FINAL STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT IS DOWN A SLOPE AFTER I HAVE ALREADY BEEN USING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN SOME. THE VEHICLE IS BARELY MOVING WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES GOING DOWN A SLOPE IN OUR SUBDIVISION ENTRANCE APPLYING OCCASIONAL BRAKE PRESSURE AT ABOUT 20 MPH. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP AND SEAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSHED. TOTAL ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK WAS $970 WHICH I DID NOT HAVE DONE. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

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.

YESTERDAY (18-MAR-2019), I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A RESTAURANT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES ON MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB, THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH. 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.

A/C STOPPED COOLING. STILL BLOWING, BUT NOT COOLING. WAY TO NEW OF A TRUCK TO HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH 100 TEMPS COMING SOON.

ON 3-18-19 AT APPROXIMATELY 1600 HOURS WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON I 84 NEAR NEWBURGH, NY. I WAS DRIVING A 2016 CHEVROLET 2500 SILVERADO (45,000 MILES) TOWING A 2019 GRAND DESIGN 5TH WHEEL RV. WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE TRAVEL LANE WHEN A PICKUP PULLED ALONGSIDE HONKING HIS HORN, THE DRIVER WAS POINTING AT THE CAMPER. I PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE CABLE HOLDING UP MY SPARE TIRE BROKE, THE SPARE DROPPED TO THE PAVEMENT BOUNCING UNDER THE CAMPER. I DID A QUICK REPAIR GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN A MOTEL. THE NEXT MORNING I SPENT 2 HOURS REPAIRING THE CAMPER ENOUGH TO GET IT TO OUR RESIDENCE IN MAINE. DAMAGE REPAIR BILL TO THE RV WAS $9100.00. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO QUIRK CHEVROLET BANGOR ME WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW AND THEIR MECHANICS INSPECTED THE TIRE HOIST. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE CABLE FRAYED AND BROKE. THE SPARE WAS INSPECTED BEFORE OUR TRIP SOUTH IN FEB.AND WAS SECURELY IN PLACE WITH NO MOVEMENT. THE CABLE WAS IN NEW CONDITION WITH NO RUST. I DEALT WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE GAVE THEM ACCIDENT REPORTS AND ALL INFO NEEDED. MAY 5TH GM SENDS OUT ESIS FIELD INSPECTOR RON YEAGER. MR. YEAGER STATES HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER I'M IN CONTACT WITH GM THEY DENY THE CLAIM FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE. THIS SPARE TIRE SYSTEM ON GM TRUCKS HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS FAILURES. USUALLY THE CABLES RUST IN PLACE AND YOU CAN'T GET THE TIRE DOWN WHEN NEEDED. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED GM TRUCKS AND USUALLY PLACE THE SPARE IN THE TRUCK BED DUE TO THIS POOR SYSTEM. IF THE RV WAS NOT BEHIND MY TRUCK THAT 65LB SPARE COULD HAVE DONE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES/PERSONS TRAVELING BEHIND ME.

BREAK VACUUM PUMP BREAKS GET HARD AT LOW SPEED MAKING THE THE VEHICLE HARD TO BREAK WHEN MAKING A STOP OR IN AN EMERGENCY STOP AND WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN

GOING THROUGHT DOWN TOWN TRAFFIC AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. IT FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING ON A BRICK. THEN HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN TRAFFIC FOR TWO HOURS.MY BOSS HAS SAME TRUCK AS I DO AND ONE WEEK LATER HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN EXCEPT HE HIT THE WALL AT HIS HOME. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER EMPLOYEES AND ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. IT COST ABOUT 800 DOLLARS TO FIX IT

WHILE BACKING INTO PAVED BOAT RAMP AT 1.5 TO 2 MPH BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND HAD TO PRESS PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD IN ORDER TO STOP TRUCK. "TRUCK WAS ON LEVEL GROUND AND I WAS TURNING STEERING WHEEL SLOWLY". I PULLED OUT OF RAMP AND PROBLEM REPEATED WHEN BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND REMOVED AND THEN REAPPLIED. 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. SHAME SHAME SHAME ON GM

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

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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

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.

THE TRUCK AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT VERY HARD, SLIP OR CAN'T FIND ITS HOME. THE PROBLEM IS THE WORST BETWEEN PARK AND REVERSE, AND 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AROUND 20MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES TIMES AND TOLD EVERYTHING IS OPERATING TO SPEC. ONE TIME I WAS TOLD THEY WERE WAITING FOR GUIDANCE FROM GM, BUT THEN FORGOT ABOUT THAT, AND SAID EVERYTHING IS FINE.

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.

BRAKING ASSIST SERVICE WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON SCREEN. NOTICED BRAKING ASSIST IS NOT WORKING AT LOW SPEED AND IDLE. REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT FOOT PRESSURE TO HAVE BRAKES WORK. NO ACCIDENT YET.

BRAKES FAIL AT LOW SPEED. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY CHEVROLET DEALER AND DETERMINED TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OUTLINED IN CHEVROLET TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PIT5361B. GM NOT COVERING REPAIR AS THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHEN AT A SLOW ROLLING SPEED BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO BRAKE, MAINLY WHEN IN PARKING LOTS OR BACKING MY BOAT IN THE BOAT RAMP ITS EXTREMELY SCARY AND SEEMS LIKE THE TRUCK WONT STOP ROLLING. THIS IS SO UNSAFE AND SCARY. ITS ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES DONT WORK. BUT IM PRETTY SURE ITS THE VACUUM PUMP BRAKE SYSTEM.

I'VE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING AND ALSO RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM CHEVY/GM IN REGARDS TO THE BRAKE FAILURE AT SLOW SPEEDS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AS BIG OF A KNOWN PROBLEM UNTIL CONDUCTING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH. 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. SIMPLY TURN OFF TRUCK AND START IT UP AGAIN AND THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. HOWEVER THE ISSUE OCCURS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND COULD DEFINITELY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

BRAKE PEDAL TOO HARD..SOMETIMES DONT BRAKE HAVE TO PUT BOTH FEET TO BRAKE

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.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY 1500. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER,(IN ALABAMA) SO WHEN MY AC STOPPED WORKING I FIGURED IT NEEDED RECHARGED AS I DO USE IT QUITE OFTEN. RECHARGED IT AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS. THEN OUT AGAIN. SO I RECHARGED IT AND USED THE DYE TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS LOCATED. CAN NOT SEE WHERE A LEAK IS ANYWHERE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS, WHY IS NOTHING DONE? I UNDERSTAND THAT AC IS NOT A NECESSITY TO SOME BUT WITH A 7 YO THAT HAS ASTHMA, LIVING IN ALABAMA IT BECOMES A NECESSITY. OH, FYI WHEN YOUR AIR NOT WORKING NEITHER DOES YOUR DEFOG. WHEN DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ITS SO BAD YOU CANT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES BC OF IT. I DID HIT A DOG BC I COULDNT SEE IT..... AND TO THINK ALL THE 1000'S OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BC OF A FLAWED DESIGN. YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTE BEFORE PAYING A LAWSUIT BC SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BC OF SOMETHING SIMPLE AND KNOWN.
