2015 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

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.

AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK. ADD REFRIGENT AND IT WORKS FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN STOPS AGAIN. NO SIGN OF A LEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND THERE WAS A DELAY IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST SYRACUSE CHEVROLET (1 CHEVY DR, EAST SYRACUSE, NY 13057) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

2015 CHEVY SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR WINDOW SHATTERING WHILE DRIVING. *LD *TR

I WAS DRIVING SLOWED DOWN TO TURN RIGHT ONTO MY STREET IOSS TOTAL CONTROL OF MY TRUCK ENDED UP ON THE SIDE WALK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF ROAD AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL MY TRUCK, MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE IN DRIVE, MYDASHBOARD STARTED TO DISPLAY STABILITRACK DISABLED, STEERING ASSISTANT REDUCED, TWO KEY PROGRAMMED, OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER DOOR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT THE FIRST TIME TO THIS EXTREME THAT IS WHY WE HAD TOOK OUR TRUCK TO VANDERGRIFF CHEVROLET IN ARLINGTON TX ON 2/16/19 WERE THEY TOOK CARE OF THE OPEN RECALL AND DID A SOFTWARE RESET FOR LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST C18289 AND POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE BUT EVEN AFTER SOFTWARE RESET I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I'M TAKING MY VEHICLE IN AGAIN TO BE SERVICED AS I FIND THIS LOSS OF STEERING VERY DANGEROUS THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS ON THAT SIDE WALK THAT COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. THE OTHER TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED PRIOR TO YESTERDAY WAS WHEN WE WERE IN A DRIVE THRU AND WE WERE TURNING TO ORDER FOOD AND ONCE TURNING INTO MY SONS SCHOOL AGAIN VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE IN DRIVE ALL THE WARNINGS LIGHTS DISPLAYING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL THREE TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. VIVA CHEVROLET (5915 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

WHILE DRIVING AND TRAFFIC MY BRAKE PEDAL GETS SO HARD CANNOT STOP TRUCK

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 WHEN MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT NOTICED THAT'S SOMETHING SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING, SHE TOLD ME AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS I COULD SMELL THE SAME THING AND IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND HER HEADREST SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND GOT HER OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND COULD SEE IT WAS COMING FROM EITHER THE SLIDE WINDOW OR THE DEFROSTER SO I JUMPED IN THE FRONT SEAT AND SEEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AND SHUT THAT OFF AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ME SHUTTING THAT OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT OFF IN MY BACK SEAT AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT TOGETHER WAS THE FACTORY WINDOW TINT. THERE IS ALL KIND OF GLASS SHARDS IN THE BACKSEAT FROM WHEN IT SHATTERED. I HAD TO HAVE MY WIFE PICK UP MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE IS TOO YOUNG TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. SO I HAVE TO PUT TAPE OVER THE WINDOW TO HOLD IT TOGETHER UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTS ME BACK.

AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING IS HAVE A LICKS

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!!!!

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.

NOTICED HARD BRAKE PEDAL ON TOP WHEN STOPPING. DEALER TECH SAID BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. LESS THAN 75,000 MILES - NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THEY FAILED TO RESPOND. WHEN THE CONTACT MADE A SECOND ATTEMPT, THE BRAKES RESPONDED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO PARK, I LOST BRAKING AND COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TO STOP THE MOMENTUM. THIS HAPPENED GOING IN REVERSE. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER I WAS CHARGED $470.96 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AT N THE VACUUM PUMP WHICH PROVIDES POWER FOR BRAKING AND STEERING.

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.

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.)

WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS MOSTLY BACKING MY VEHICLE LOSES BRAKING. THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL.

TAKADA RECALL. WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 70 MPH APPLING BRAKES OR TURN SIGNAL INFORMATION SCREEN MOMENTARILY FLASHES BLANK, ENINE HESITATES AND SEAT BELT WARNING SOUNDS

HELLO JUST WANTED SHARE THIS ABOUT MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MY STARTED MAKING A STRANGE KNOCK SOUND SQEALING NOISE ON ENGINE SO TOOK IT TO CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE IT CKECKED OUT THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD THAT IT HAD EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE OFF IN ENGINE BLOCK IT WILL COST $4000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR I FEEL THAT IS A GM MANUFACTURE ISSUE EVEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM I FEEL THAT SHOULDN'T PAY SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE WHY THESE BOLTS BROKE OFF

APPARENTLY THE A/C COMPRESSOR ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN VIA GM YET IT IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL. WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN UNDER 5 WHO HAVE TO ENDURE THE HEAT UNTIL WE FIND A PLACE THAT DOES NOT TRY TO ROB US ON SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO EVERY 2015 SILVERADO 1500. ON ANY OTHER BASIS THIS WOULD BE A RECALL, SO WHY IS IT NOT? AT THE LEAST, I FIGURED GM WOULD OFFER A DISCOUNTED SERVICE FOR REPLACEMENTS. THE PARTS FOR THE 2015 BODY WERE ALREADY RECYCLED PARTS SO WHY SUCH A STEEP PRICE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DELAYED IN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORAN CHEVROLET CLINTON TWP (35500 GRATIOT AVE, CLINTON TWP, MI 48035, (866) 774-3206) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

BRAKE SUDDENLY BECAME REAL HARD AND I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO PRESS REAL HARD TO GET IT TO STOP. I RAN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AT A RED LIGHT FORTUNATELY NO CARS WERE CLOSE TO THAT INTERSECTION AT THAT TIME01

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET IN THE EARLY MORNING THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL INSIDE THE CAB OF MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY. SHORTLY AFTER I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING MY DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING BACK WINDOW SHATTERED WITH A LOUD EXPLOSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY USED THE REMOTE STARTER TO START THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LITTLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR SLIDING GLASS WINDOW. THE CONTACT WALKED OUT TO THE VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE THE ORIGIN OF THE SMOKE AND NOTICED THAT THE GLASS FROM THE REAR WINDOW WAS GLOWING A CHERRY RED COLOR. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND EXITED THE VEHICLE RIGHT BEFORE THE REAR WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED. THE DEALER (ELM CHEVROLET, 301 E CHURCH ST, ELMIRA, NY 14901) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WIRING SHORT CIRCUIT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

THE RACK AND PINION HAS GONE OUT ON MY 2015 CHEVY 1500. LOUD CREAKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM TURNING THE WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE. FOR A TRUCK TO BE 4 YEARS AND WITH 40K MILES AND THIS TO GO BAD IS A REAL QUALITY ISSUE. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE

THE PAINT ON THIS TRUCK HAS BEGUN TO PEEL IN A COUPLE SPOTS. GM ISN'T WILLING TO FULLY COVER THIS AS THEY SAY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULDN'T HAVE PAINT ISSUES LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEALEY CHEVROLET (5216 NY- ROUTE 17M, NEW HAMPTON, NY 10958, (845) 360-9821) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS LEAKING OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE MANUFACTURER'S BRAKE VACUUM PUMP REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE MILEAGE EXCEEDED 72,000. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 95212761589. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000. *BF *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHEN TURNED AND AN ALARM SOUNDED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE STEERING FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARED THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, SHOOK, AND STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FLOW GM AUTO CENTER OF WINSTON-SALEM (1400 S STRATFORD RD, WINSTON-SALEM, NC 27103, (336) 937-9049), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING), THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART; HOWEVER, IT STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY AFTER BEING RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ORIGINAL RON CARTER CHEVROLET (3206 FM 528 ROAD, CHEVROLET BUILDING, ALVIN, TX 77511,(281) 819-6007), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP EVEN BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,760.

I NOTICED A WATER LEAK IN THE HEAD LINER BY THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF WATER LEAKS COMING THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW. WE TRIED FIXING IT USING A NEW GASKET, SILICONE, AND EVEN A NEW LIGHT WITH NEW SEALS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE.

BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS. HAVE TO APPLY VERY HARD PRESSURE TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. SEVERAL VERY CLOSE CALLS RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO OPERATE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED GENGRAS CHEVROLET AT (860) 748-4355 (585 CONNECTICUT BLVD, EAST HARTFORD, CT 06108) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

MY TRUCK WOULD BRAKE NORMALLY EXCEPT WHEN I STOPPED, THEN AT LOW SPEED THE TRUCK WOULD FAIL TO STOP. 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.

TRANSMISSION ALWAYS SHIFTED HARD AND FINALLY STOPPED SHIFTING AT ALL WHILE IN MOTION (BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY). DESPITE TAKING IT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR 3 YEARS FOR MAINTENANCE, WE WERE NEVER TOLD THEIR WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND ONLY WHEN WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP TO GET A SECOND OPINION WERE WE TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT ON SEVERAL GM MODELS. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT ALONG WITH THE REAR END TO THE TUNE OF OVER $5,000. LEMON LAW DOES NOT HOLD UP BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE ANY WORK DONE UNDER THE WARRANTY (WHICH ONLY COVERED THE FIRST YEAR).

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED A FEW TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY STIFF AND WILL NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IF NEEDED IMMEDIATELY.

GM HAS RECALL 14315 FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND STYLE OF VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED FOR THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THE PROBLEMS LISTED IN THIS RECALL. ALL SOUNDS DO NOT WORK INCLUDING THE SEAT BEAT REMINDER, THE DOOR OPEN REMINDER AND ALL VEHICLE SOUNDS FROM THE SPEAKERS. GM WILL NOT REPAIR IT AS MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP IN THERE SYSTEM FOR THIS RECALL. HOW CAN MY VIN BE INCLUDED FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING, ALL DIGITAL SCREENS GO BLACK, COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN, FINALLY RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. AT THIS POINT NOTHING OPERATES INCLUDING 4 WAYS. AFTER 2-3 MINUTES ALL RESETS AND TRUCK STARTS AND OPERATES AGAIN. DEALER AND GM TECHS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK WITH OUT A SOLUTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES ,WITH A FEW TIMES BEING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POSITION. ALL ELECTRICAL,ALL GROUNDS AND OBC ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. GM HAS A MAJOR AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT PUT OUT A RECALL AS OF YET. THIS WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE OR ARE WAITING FOR FATALITIES BEFORE INVESTIGATING.

WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY,WAS CHANGING LANES SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO SWITCH LANES AND THEN CHECK ENGINE STARTED FLASHING AND STABILITRAK ACTIVE LIGHT CAME ON. SLOWED DOWN AND FELT THE TRUCK WITH SOME UNUSUAL SHAKING, WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND INTO THE STREET AS SOON AS I STOPPED IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WANTED TO SHUT OFF BUT IT DID NOT,TRUCK WAS SHAKING AT EVERY STOP I MADE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND STABILITRAK ACTIVE LIGHT ON

I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK IN A PARKING LOT SPACE, AND WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MOVING SLOW, I APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND HAD TO PUSH VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I HAD A LOCAL DEALERSHIP RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE TRUCK, AND IT CAME UP AS A FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP.

WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH , ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SUDDENLY DIED AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. COASTED TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR STEERING CONTROL, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TURNED OFF AND ON IGNITION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM HAD ME "TURN ON AND OFF DRIVER WINDOW'. ALSO REFERENCE A FEW OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ERRORS THAT CLEARED AFTER ONCE AGAIN STARTING VEHICLE. DURING THE RESULTING 20 MINUTE DRIVE HOME, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHOWED A FEW ERRORS, ONCE WHEN INITIATING A TURN SIGNAL AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED BUT CAR DID NOT SUDDENLY DIE. NEXT DAY IT IS NOW RUNNING OKAY SO FAR. RESEARCHING THIS SUDDEN ELECTRICAL AND TOTAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN ONLINE I FOUND NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH 2014/2015 SILVERADO MODELS FROM OTHERS. DISCUSSED WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND FOUND THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER CUSTOMERS LOCALLY WITH THIS INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM.

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 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.
