SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would depress to the floorboard or harden as an abnormal sound would emit from the brake pedal. The contact also stated that extra brake travel time was needed to stop the vehicle. The contact was uncertain if any warning lights were illuminated during the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
While slowing down to make a right turn the engine stalled and the electrical power was lost rendering the power steering inoperable. The loss of power steering created a dangerous situation where I almost hit a tree. Also there has been several occasions while driving on the freeway the electrical power stalled. Thankfully it was only for less than two seconds, but I can't imagine what would have happened on a busy freeway had it not been only a temporary loss of power. I read online that these problems are not uncommon. I have taken the truck to a Chevy dealer where they replaced battery cables they said had some resistance in them. It's been a month since the repair ($1300 later) was made and have not experienced any problem since. After experiencing these "power failers", there would be a message on the dash that would state "OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW'

POWER TRAIN
The Chevy Silverado shakes around 65-70 mph and is continuing to worsen over the course of time. The original driveshaft may have been replaced by a dealer in the past (vin shows zero recalls to a known failure caused by aluminum driveshafts), but they have been replaced with the exact same aluminum driveshafts. This never resolved the original failure, but only pushed the failure down the road temporarily, putting new buyers safety at risk.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the Freeway, when the gears on the Transmission started to idle. I was going about 65 miles per hr, when the vehicle would not move, even as a stepped on the gas pedal. I was able to put my hazard lights on and pulled over on the side shoulder of the Freeway. I immediately put the vehicle in park mode. While in park mode the vehicle started to make a very loud screeching noise. I turned off the vehicle to see if this would troubleshoot the issue. I turned vehicle back on and the noise did not go away, I put the vehicle back into gear and it would not move, it started to shake and the vehicle jumped into which I believe would have been 3rd gear. I was able to drive the vehicle to my house at 5 miles per hr with the Hazard lights on. My house was only 2 miles from the Freeway Exit. During the 2 Mike drive to my house, the vehicle kept jumping into gears. This could have caused a major accident on the Freeway. I need answers.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Severe overheating and smoke from rear defrost window area. Same issue happened to my vehicle as described in recall number N192265660 with GM. I used remote start to warm up truck and when I went to get in and opened the rear door, smoke bellowed and a bright red glow (flame?) at the rear window was present. Due to the low temperature outside, cold air rushed in and the driver side rear window fractured from thermal shock. Appeared as a short or bad circuit caused the extreme heat in this area.
