SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND I HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I ALMOST HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. CHEVROLET DEALER DIAGNOSED A BAD VACUUM PUMP AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS MALFUNCTION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

BRAKES BECAME INCREDIBLY HARD AND ALMOST DID NOT STOP MY TRUCK THREE TIMES NOW. FINALLY, THIS LAST TIME THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM HOPING THEY WILL NOW THAT THE WARNING CAME ON. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF THIS AND HOPE IT CAN BE FIXED. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME AS I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS (THANKFULLY).

AT LOW SPEEDS THE BTAKING SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY HARD TO ENGAGE AND CREATES A NEED FOR AN UMEXPECTED LONGER STOP DISTANCE/TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AND CAN EASILY CAUSE AN IN INCIDENT AND POSSIBLE INJIURY/FATALITY. IT GIVES A 'BRAKE ASSIST ERROR'WHEN THIS OCCURS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES BECOME HARD AND RESIST DEPRESSION, OR REQUIRE AN INCREASED EFFORT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT WITH NO STOPPING ABILITY, IF YOU TAP OR PRESS THE BREAK. EXAMPLE IN TRAFFIC OR REVERSING OUT THE DRIVEWAY.THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT 20 MPH OR LESS. I DID HAVE AN ISSUE THE OTHER DAY WHEN I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES, PRESSING THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY WHICH HARD TO DO AND MADE ALL KINDS OF NOISES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2017.

THE BRAKES BECAME REALLY HARD TO PRESS AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE. THIS SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT SLOW SPEEDS BUT IS GETTING WORSE. THE "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" LIGHT CAME ON. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE A FAILURE IN THE VACUUM PUMP.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS PARKING OR BACKING UP, I FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCE A VERY FIRM OR HARD BRAKE PEDAL. THIS RESULTS IN VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. THE PROBLEM IS BEGINNING TO BECOME NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A MAINTENANCE SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR ARE ON BACKORDER AND IT IS NOT KNOWN HOW LONG THIS MAY TAKE. DUE TO THE PROBLEM BECOMING MORE FREQUENT I AM CURRENTLY NOT DRIVING MY VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE AND BECAME STUCK WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED AS SHE CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AS IT APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES RETURNED TO NORMAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO GOSCH CHEVROLET OF HEMET (400 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545, (951) 216-3486) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THERE WAS SUSPICION THAT THE PUMP COULD FAIL AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN THEY NEED TO IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS MOST TIMES WHEN VEHICLE HAS JUST LET OFF THE BRAKE TO THEN ONCE AGAIN BRAKE QUICKLY, AND THE DRIVER WILL NEED TO PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO ENGAGE PROPER BRAKING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR WHILE THE DRIVER IS IN A DRIVE THRU, FOR EXAMPLE AT THE BANK. THE TYPE OF ROAD CONDITIONS HAVE NO AFFECT TO THIS, IT HAS HAPPENED ON SUNNY DAYS WHERE THE PAVEMENT IS DRY AND RAINY DAYS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP WHILE IN A DOWN HILL POSITION WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC.

THE BRAKES BUILD UP PRESSURE WHEN PUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NOT ENGAGE AND PROPERLY STOP THE VEHICLE. THEY GET SO TIGHT YOU HAVE TO PUT ALL WEIGHT AND FORCE POSSIBLE IN THEM TO STOP. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND EVEN CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND AFTER INVESTIGATION THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT SIMULATE THE ISSUE AND ITS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS AND IT WAS VERY EASY TO FIND AS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONGST GM OWNERS.
