THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER TRUCK HAD BEEN IN USE FOR 2.5 HOURS, BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SUDDENLY BECOME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET. CONDITION PRESENT IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. HAPPENED ON 4 OCCASIONS, ALL AFTER 2.5 HOUR TRIPS.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND WENT VERY SLOW TO THE NEXT EXIT. 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. THE TRUCK IS A CERTIFIED PRE OWN VEHICLE IF THAT MATTERS.

LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AT LOW SPEED WHEN BACKING INTO PARKING SPOT. 4 OCCURRENCES SINCE OCTOBER 2018 UNDER EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES, CHECKED BY DEALER, NO WORK DONE BUT TAC CASE OPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 7 MPH, THE BRAKES PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND AS THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS STILL GOING 7 MPH AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO STOP ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTATED THE VEHICLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ALLEN TURNER CHEVROLET (4150 S FERDON BLVD, CRESTVIEW, FL 32536, (850) 398-4105) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY STIFF. IT IS HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS IN FORWARD AND REVERSE.

MULTIPLE TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY PARKING OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. IT'S TERRIFYING WHEN IT HAPPENS. 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. JUST TRYING TO HELP PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE ASSIST DOES NOT WORK, AND THERE IS A MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKES.

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES AND HAVE A APPOUNTMENT FOR A THIRD TIME. I WAS INFORMED TODAY ITS THE RACK AND PINION ! SERIOUSLY MY TRUCK HAS 35000 MILES ON IT. COME ON ! ITS UNDER WARRANTY BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN ? I AM A MOTHER OF 6 I DEOEND IN TH IS TRUCK AND IF ITS HAPPENING AT 35000 MILES THEN WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT 100000

I 'AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY BRAKE PEDAL GETTING HARD WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR WHEN PARKING , AT A STOP SIGN , ANYTIME I 'AM AT A STAND STILL THE PEDAL WILL GET HARD ON ME. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD TO ME BECAUSE IF YOUR NOT PAYING ATTENTION YOU COULD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU OR BEHIND YOU. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME !!!

A DEAFENING BUFFETING NOISE AND VIBRATION MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ROAD. RADIO WON'T DROWN OUT THE NOISE. EAR ACHES, HEAD ACHES ETC. PLEASE HELP!

DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR REPEATED BRAKING APPLICATIONS MY TRUCK LOSES BRAKING POWER. SEEMS TO BE A VACUUM ISSUE. ALMOST HAD A COLLISION IN A PARKING DECK.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I WAS LEAVING MY LOCAL BANK AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND IT HAD NOT RETURNED. I DID SOME ONLINE SEARCHING AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE SYMPTOMS WERE LOSS AND IMMEDIATE RETURN OF POWER STEERING BUT THOUGHT MAYBE MINE WAS ALSO ASSOCIATED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO LYNN SMITH CHEVROLET IN BURLESON TX AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS $3,000 OUT OF MY POCKET. MY TRUCK IS A 2015 WITH 53,XXX MILES IT HAD NEVER ACTED STRANGE OR GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THAT ONE INCIDENT. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE A BREAK IN TRAFFIC AS IT CAUSED ME TO OCCUPY ALL THREE LANES WITH MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK.

MY TRUCK WAS RECALLED I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY DEALER ABOUT THE RECALL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO DECATUR JAMES WOODS CHEVROLET WHICH PERFORMED A RECALL ON THE EPS MODULE FOR A STEERING RECALL. NOTE PRIOR TO ME TAKING MY VEHICLE IN I HAD NO PROBLEMS OR ISSUES. I TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR DOCUMENTED OIL CHANGES AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. ONCE THEY DID THE RECALL FLASH UPDATE REPROGRAMMING I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND ON THE WAY HOME THE DASH LIGHTS BLINKED OFF THE STABILITRAC ERROR AND TOW HAUL ERROR BOTH CAME UP. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT IMMEDIATELY ON THE WAY USING HANDS FREE SYSTEM AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THE RECALL COULDN'T CAUSE THAT. ON THE ROAD TO MY HOUSE THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS LIGHT SPRAIN TO MY WRIST AND ALMOST TOOK ME OFF THE ROAD AS THE BRAKES ALSO FAILED TO WORK VERY WELL. THE TRUCK DIED TO A STOP. WHEN I RESTARTED IT SHOWED NO ERRORS AND ALL WORKED AGAIN. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN STARTED IT DISPLAYED A CALIBRATION ERROR AND HAD ME OPEN AND CLOSE MY DRIVER WINDOW. WHEN DRIVING TO MY DEALERSHIP JERRY'S CHEVY IT BLINKED THE DASH AGAIN WHEN I USED MY BLINKER TO CHANGE LANES. THE POWER AND RPM WHERE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND RUNNING VERY ROUGH. WHEN I GOT TO JERRY'S THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T TOUCH IT AND TAKE THE LIABILITY AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO DECATUR THEY HAD MESSED SOMETHING UP. NEXT MORNING TO TO LOCAL MECHANIC WE HAVE USED THEY PUT COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND SHOWED ALL KINDS OF ERRORS AS WE TEST DROVE WHILE HOOKED UP. HE SAID THE RECALL PROGRAM HAS EVIDENTLY CAUSED COMMUNICATION ISSUES TO OTHER MODULES AND CAN TEAR UP THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT BACK TO DECATUR THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T GET TO IT AND TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY. I DROPPED IT OFF TRUCK STILL HAVING ISSUES AND RUNNING AND SOUNDING WORSE AND LOSING POWER AND VOLTAGE GAUGE DROPPING AND GOING BACK TO NORMAL. SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS ON ROAD DUE TO THIS RECALL FLASH.

HAVING ISSUES WITH BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS, SPECIFICALLY DURING BACKING UP. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE I HAD THEM LOOK AT THE BRAKING PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD MY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP IS GOING BAD. I SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE BEING UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR POSSIBLE RECALL AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY VOICE WAS HEARD.

PAINT IS CONSTANTLY CHIPPING.

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.

WHEN REVERSING THE BREAKS WERE VERY STIFF AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP LIKE IT SHOULD AND ALMOST RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

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 TRUCK IS 3 YEARS OLD I HAVE 39,500 MILES. THE VACUUM PUMP HAS WENT OUT AND I LOSE THE ABILITY TO BRAKE AT TIMES LUCKILY MY HILL ASSIST PREVENTED ME FROM ROLLING DOWN A HILL. SECOND TIME HAPPENED WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE WITH THIS AFFECTING 2014-2018 MODELS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THIS IS A $700 REPLACEMENT CHARGE.

TRUCK WAS SERVICED FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST PROGRAMMING RECALL. OK FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN: POWER STEERING LOST, LOW SPEED WHOBBLE & STEERING WHEEL SHAKE. ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS TO REPLACE POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSIST KIT. I NEVER GOT THIS ORIGINAL RECALL. I STILL HAVE A SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVY SILVERADO LTZ 2015 ##

BRAKE ASSIST KEEPS POPPING UP ON INFO SCREEN. THERE'S A DELAY IN BRAKING WHILE PARKING AND WHEN CLIMBING STEEP GRADES IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE.

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.

The transmission makes a Clunking sound when i put it in Drive or Reverse gear, plus it slips between gears when i start to drive off and it hesitates to shift between gears

THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON SEPT. 24 FOR RECALL REPAIR OF FAULTY STEERING. ON OCT.1 STEERING LOCKED UP AND BRAKES FAILED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. ACCIDENT REPORT FILED WITH MISSOURI STATE POLICE.

TRANSMISSION IS CONTINUALLY HESITATING - WHEN COMING TO STOP AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT 3 TIMES

I'VE NOTICED A BIG DECREES IN BREAKING PERFORMANCE IN THE PAST MONTH DOUBLING THE DISTANCE IT TAKES TO COMPLETELY STOP AND IT'S ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END A FEW PEOPLE.

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.

BRAKES BECOME EXTREMELY HARD AND HAVE TO PUSH DOWN WITH BIG FEET TO STOP.

WHEN TRYING TO PARK THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO BECOME VERY STIFF AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. I HAVE TO USE ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE PEDAL TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP. IT SEEMS TO ALWAYS HAPPEN A SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN PARKING IN MY DRIVE WAY, A PARKING LOT, AND IT HAPPENED DURING A 3 POINT TURN.

ABT 1:24PM PARKING LOT SPACES ARE STRAIGHT DRIVER WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT AT WELLS FARGO IN THE W SIDE OF THE CITY BROUGHT A FRIEND TO BANK, GOT INTO VEHICLE STARTED HEADING OUT OF PARKING LOT DRIVER WAS GOING TOWARDS ONE DIRECTION TO GO TO THE RIGHT TO GET OUT THAN CHANGED MIND , HEADED TOWARS OTHER DIRECTION TO LEFT DRIVER MADE A SHARP LEFT TURN TO GO BETWEEN LIGHT POLE & OTHER VEHICLES PARKED IN LOT WATCHING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO LEFT & TO THE RIGHT WAS A LIGHT POLE DRIVER THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE , NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE PASSANGER SCREAMED OUT "STOP" DRIVER HIT POLE PASSANGER STATES EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE THAN VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT BY ITSELF DRIVER DID NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL AT ALL WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF EXECUTING A LEFT TURN VEHICLE TIRES WERE COMPLETLY TURNED TO GO LEFT - DIDNT STRAIGHTEN OUT WHEELS AT ALL THAN ALL OF A SUDDEN VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT INTO POLE DRIVER STATES IN ABOUT 2 SECS.

AT 32,744 MILES AND 42 MONTHS THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY STARTED RATTLING AND SHIFTED TO 3:00. CODES SERVICE STABLE TRACK AND ASSISTED POWER STEERING APPEARED ON THE DASH LIGHTS. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS FAILURE ON STEERING RACK. TRUCK HAS NO MODIFICATIONS AND REQUIRED A NEW RACK AT A COST OF $1295.69. 2014 TRUCKS HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

AT LOW SPEEDS AND OR STARTING FROM A STOP AND REAPPLYING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS EXTREMELY HARD AND WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING FORWARD. YOU MUST PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS YOU CAN WITH BOTH FEET TO TRY TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AT EACH STOP. EACH OCCURRENCE HAS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET.

THE IGNITION LOCK BOUND AND STUCK IN THE START POSITION TWICE. OTHER VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR MODEL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS PER YOUR CAMPAIGN# 15V640000 OR YOUR RECALL #N182156820. GM'S RECALL IS 15573. GM INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL GROUP EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED

MY BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING LOT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY AND ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN LATER IN THE DAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM (RIVER VIEW CHEVROLET IN MCKEESPORT PA) AND THEY SAID THEY DID EXTENSIVE TEST BUT COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM THAT WOULD CAUSED THE BRAKES TO NOT WORK.

LOSS OF BRAKES 2 TIMES ONCE ON INTERSTATE 40, AND ONCE ON A HILL IN TOWN..BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR .FINELY STOPED.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, USUALLY ALWAYS USING TURN SIGNAL, MY TRUCK WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO WARNING. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND ALL ELECTRICAL IS LOST. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO RESTART MY TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION HAD TO JUMP OUT CAR SO I WASN'T IN SIDE IF HIT FINALLY CARS STOP HONKING I JUMPED BACK IN AND STARTED UP AGAIN I WAS SCARED HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME

THE DRIVERS SEAT MAKES A LATERAL MOVEMENT AND/OR CLICKING NOISE. THE SEAT IS NOT STABLE AND CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SEAT MOVEMENT WHEN DRIVING. GM IS COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON 2014, 2015, 2016 SILVERADO'S AND ON OTHER GM VEHICLES. GM WILL REPAIR THE PROBLEM IF THE OWNER NOTICES IT DURING THE 36 MONTH/36000 MILES BUT IS REFUSING TO REPAIR IT AFTER THAT. GM HAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN 2017 AND NEWER VEHICLES. SERVICE BULLETIN #18-NA-377 DATED DEC 17, 2018 DOCUMENT ID # 5185379 APPLIES. THIS MOVEMENT AND NOISE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING AND IS COMPLETELY DISTRACTING. THIS DEFECT IN THE FRONT SEAT MECHANISM ALLOWS FOR SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THE SEAT CAN BECOME DISLODGED ESPECIALLY DURING AN ACCIDENT. GM HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT VERY FIRM. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO MORAN CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 4511 24TH AVE, FORT GRATIOT TWP, MI 48059, (812) 202-4062) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER, BRAKE LINES, AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,324.

VERY STIFF BRAKE PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO PARK AT SLOW SPEEDS. COULD NOT PRESS THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE ARE PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I BACKED INTO MY PARKING SPACE WHEN I RETURNED HOME.

BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD TO GET TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN WHILE I MOVED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. IT TURNS OUT THE VACUUM PUMP ON MY BRAKING SYSTEM WENT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

A/C CONDENSOR LEAKS AND A/C STOPS WORKING THIS HAPPENS JUST AFTER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRES MY TRUCK AC STOP WORKING AT 37,688

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.

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.
