When engine is cold you can smell exhaust fumes . Studs in engine are broke. smelling fumes is not a safety issue ? One other thing the battery distribution block was bad and GM knows its bad, they built a new . The truck shuts off wile driving, or does not start till you hit it with a hammer.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

About a minute later I smelled and saw smoke from the passenger rear seat area. I turned the truck off, but when stepping back in after investigating and moving it from the road the passenger side rear window broke. No warning was given for this to happen.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.
