SERVICE BRAKES
At 10mph to 30mph every other week I will get a sudden brake lock up and release for a split second. There are no codes that get thrown, it is very dangerous... being a disabled veteran, I did check is it says all my recalls have been done but I don't think they were done right.

POWER TRAIN
I bought my 2015 Silverado Z71 LT new in 2015, after a few months I started experiencing the "chevy shake", I took it back and they replaced the tires saying its fixed. It didnt fix it, after getting ready to call and go back it stopped doing it. Throughout the years it has done it off and on, I have had the driveshaft balanced, 3 sets of wheels and 5 sets of tires, U-joints, both fron CV Axles, bearings and bushings in the differential, transmission checked and fluids and filter changed, still does it. The truck only has 38,850 miles, I saw that there is a class action lawsuit against GM for knowingly selling these vehicles with bad driveshafts or transmissions. I will have it back in the shop Tuesday 9/24/24 to have them look again.

SERVICE BRAKES
While in a drive thru moving up slowly to the next spot brakes became hard and had to put a lot of force on the brakes to make vehicle slow down and stop. I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me but luckily stopped within a few inches. Took it in to get serviced and mechanic said brake system checked out to be good. That was 2 years ago. This last week I was backing in a boat in the water and the brakes became hard to push and was not slowing the vehicle down. I had to put on the emergency parking brake in order not to go in the lake with the truck. It was a very scary situation with my small nephews in the back seat. I was able to drive the truck back 10 homes from Canada. This appears to be a requiring issue from complaints on this make and model of truck.

SERVICE BRAKES
Truck has issues breaking at very low speeds such as drive thrus ect. Zero issues at driving speeds. I see there is a recall for this issue on silverados between 2014 and I believe 2018 that had to do with a vacuum pump or similar issue that caused breaking issues at low speeds. For some reason my truck is not included in this recall but is having the same issues.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THERE THE MECHANICS REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND REAR BRAKE PADS. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE WERE NOT AWARE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS TILL RECENTLY SO WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO DEALER. MILEAGE WAS 169201. THE BRAKES WERE FIRST INSPECTED 6-29-22. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS WELL BELOW YOUR CUTOFF OF 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. THE DEALERS HANDLING OF THIS DOES SEEM UNREASONABLE. THIS IS MY HUSBANDS VEHICLE I REALLY DONT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT DATES. WHILE BACKING UP HIS TRAILER HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SEVERAL DENTS ON THE SIDE OF IT SHOWS BRAKING PROBLEMS. I THINK 1900.00 IS EXTREME TO REPAIR WHAT YOUR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF IS A PROBLEM. YOUR CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THIS WAS POSSIBLE RATHER THAN LEAVING THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I HOPE THIS WILL CONVINCE YOUR COMPANY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. THAT WILL DETERMINE WHAT VEHICLE WE WILL PURCHASE NEXT.
