STABILITRAK LIGHT KICKS ON AND OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND SHUDDERS WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS, HEADLIGHTS AND DASHLIGHTS BLINK LIKE THE TRUCKS ABOUT TO LOSE POWER. SEARCHING ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A DEVICE BULLETIN THAT FIXES THESE ISSUES, BUT I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK. PIT5405A IS THE BULLETIN NUMBER.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP HAS DETERIORATED CAUSING INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT AND LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES AT SLOWER SPEEDS. VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED ON JANUARY 18, 2019, BUT WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL DESPITE NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT I STARTED TO PUSH MY BRAKE PEDAL AND I NOTICED IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP WITHOUT CRASHING I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. I CHECKED TO SEE IF I HAVE FLUID IN MY BRAKES BOOSTER AND IT WAS FULL. I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT UP AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY ABS LIGHT AND STABLE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. WE GOT THE TRUCK TO MY BUDDY SHOP AND HE WHEN ONLINE TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT VACUUM PUMP AND SEEN ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. I CALLED CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ASK THEM WHAT WE COULD DO. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE TRUCK IN AND I COULD PAY FULL PRICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING FIXED AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A RIDE TO PICK UP A RENTAL CAR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS FLICKER, RADIO HEAD UNIT FLICKERS, ERROR MESSAGES (SERVICE STABLITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, REDUCED STEERING ASSIST) DOORS OCCASIONALLY WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THEN TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF ALL TOGETHER. STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS. SOMEBODY WILL END UP DEAD IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED, AND RECALLED. VERY COMMON THROUGH MY RESEARCH IN 2014 SILVERADOS/SIERRA'S.

FOR THE 3RD TIME IS LESS THAN 3 WEEKS, I'VE HAD POWER BRAKING COMPLETELY FAIL AT LOW SPEEDS WHICH HAS NEARLY LED TO RUNNING INTO AN OBJECT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE (USUALLY ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE, MY HOME, OR SOMETHING ELSE NEARBY WHEN PARKING).

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO 1500 TRUCK AT SLOW SPEEDS (UNDER 20 MPH), IN THREE DIFFERENT PARKING LOTS WITH PEDESTRIANS PRESENT, THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND TO ANY LEVEL OF FOOT PRESSURE. THESE FAILURES HAPPENED OVER A 30-MINUTE SPAN. THE TRUCK KEPT MOVING FORWARD EVEN THOUGH I WAS PULLING ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO HELP WITH DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH AS MUCH FORCE AS I COULD. I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO HELP STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON REVIEWING INTERNET BLOGS OF THIS ISSUE I FOUND OTHERS HERE ON NHTSA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALSO FOUND GM/CHEVY HAD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS PUBLISHED FOR THIS ISSUE: PIT5361D & PIT5362B. WHAT FAILED WAS THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM PUMP/BOOSTER WHICH PROVIDES THE VACUUM FOR THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS BRAKE VACUUM PUMP/BOOSTER REPAIR COST ME $1,100.00 AS THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NOR WAS A RECALL AT THIS POINT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WITH SO MANY OTHERS AFFECTED, MYSELF INCLUDED, WITH THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT IT IS NOT YET A FULL RECALL ITEM. FACT IS, YOU CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT WORKING BRAKES, PERIOD. IT IS NOT A SITUATION SUCH AS BRAKE PADS BEING WORN (THEY ARE NOT), IT IS THE CORE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE POWER BRAKE SYSTEM THAT FAILED AND SHOULD BE UNDER A MAJOR RECALL. HERE ARE THE PARTS THAT WERE REPAIRED/REPLACED: BRAKE VACUUM PUMP, VACUUM PUMP BELT, A/C BELT, AND PIPE FROM PUMP TO THE BOOSTER. PLEASE ESCALATE THIS COMPLAINT AS THIS PART FAILURE IN CHEVY TRUCKS, AS WELL AS GM AND CADILLAC AS SEEN FROM OTHER'S POSTS, IS A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE WHEN OPERATING A VEHICLE WITH BRAKE SYSTEMS FAILURE SUCH AS THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE.
