AT TIMES, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE. IT REQUIRES AN INCREASED EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS SIMILAR TO AN INVESTIGATION THAT IS ON GOING REGARDING A FAILING VACUUM PUMP FOR GMM MODEL VEHICLES.

SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDEN AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A BROKEN REAR BRAKE LINE. BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY AND AT THE NEXT STOP THEY WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. I HAD TO USE DOWN SHIFTING TO SLOW AND THEN A SNOW BANK TO COMPLETELY STOP. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR AND WENT OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC AT 3 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH. AFTER LOOKING AT THE BRAKE LINES THEY ARE DRAMATICALLY RUSTED. THE SERVICE SHOP HAS EXPLAINED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF ALL LINES NEEDS TO BE DONE (APPOINTMENT TO DO THIS IS 3/20/2019).

MY 2016 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS ASSISTANCE AT 63K MILES. I HAVE RESEARCHED, IT'S SEEMS THE OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SEATS STOPPED VIBRATING TO ALERT DRIVER. WHAT I HEARD IS THAT THE CABLES ARE MISPLACED AND WHEN YOU MOVE THE SEAT THEY BREAK. WE ARE TRUSTING THIS VIBRATE SEATS TO HELP US, BUT THEY STOP WORKING ON A ROAD TRIP NOT GOOD. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. THANKS

I HAVE 2016 SUBURBAN. 6 MONTHS AGO I STARTED FEELING HOW HARD IT IS TO PRESS ON THE BREAK PADDLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I DRIVE UPHILL OR DOWNHILL. IT WAS SO BAD THAT I ALMOST RAN INTO MY HOUSE 3 TIMES. I HAVE A DRIVEWAY SLOPED DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE HARDSHIP OF PRESSING ON THE BREAK PADDLE AND REPLACED SOME PUMP COSTING ME $750. I END UP TAKING THE CASE TO THE CHEVROLET CORPORAT AND ONLY WAS REFUNDED $325. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THEY SHOULD OF COVERED ENTIRE BILL AND COMPENSATED FOR MORAL DISTRESS I INCURRED. HERE IS A LINK TO SAME ISSUE DISCUSSED: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2017/GM-BRAKE-PEDALS-HARD.SHTML

"TAKATA RECALL" YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT IF THE RECALL IS NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER TO CONTACT YOU OR FILE A COMPLAINT. IT HAS ALMOST BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN THE FIX IS COMING. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL, I AM HOPING YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS SITUATION AS GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS FROM ITS CUSTOMERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM IN THE PAST AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A ANSWER.
