SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON ANY STREET SURFACE AND I APPLY THE BREAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD, CAUSING INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT AND LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES. LOCAL DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP.

APPLYING THE BRAKES REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A DAMAGED/FAULTY VACUUM PUMP AS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER DRIVER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP ON A CITY STREET IN WILLIAMSBURG, VA AT A RED LIGHT.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS TRAVELLING AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN WE ENCOUNTERED AND UNEXPECTED ROAD CREW I APPLIED MY BRAKES FIRMLY AND SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND CHANGED LANES TO AVOID THE HAZARD.. ALMOST INSTANTLY I WAS CUTOFF AT THE SLOWER SPEED AND NEEDED TO APPLY MY BRAKES AGAIN, THIS TIME THE PEDAL WAS FIRM AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT REACT. I AVOIDED THE COLLISION BY SWERVING INTO THE NEXT LANE. THE PEDAL HAD NO AFFECT ON STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN THIS SITUATION.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES ARE FAILING AT LOW SPEEDS. FROM OTHER REPORTS IT SEEMS TO BE THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ONLY THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET STOPPED THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC RAMAPO VALLEY ROAD (AKA RT 202) IN OAKLAND NJ WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, I TRIED TWICE BEFORE STEPPING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AT THE SAME TIME I STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BUT MY VEHICLE HAS A DENT IN THE FRONT BUMPER FROM THE TOW HITCH ON THE CAR I HIT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED AT THE SCENE. THE POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND MOVED MY TRUCK CONFIRMING THERE WAS A BRAKE FAILURE. THE POLICE OFFICER MOVED MY TRUCK TO A DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE ROAD AND A MESSAGE REGARDING A BRAKE ASSIST FAILURE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. NO INDICATION WAS DISPLAYED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE OFFICER DECLARED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAD IT TOWED AND IMPOUNDED. AFTER GETTING A VEHICLE RELEASE MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LITTLE FALLS NJ WHERE THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR CONFIRMED THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED. I WAS CONTACTED BY GM AND GAVE THEM INFORMATION REGARDING THE ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME GM INVESTIGATORS WERE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT THE FAILURE. I FOUND A GM SERVICE BULLETIN DATED JUNE 2016, BULLETIN NUMBER PIT5361B DESCRIBING THIS FAILURE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET GM TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES SINCE THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN 5 YEAR OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 100000 MILE ON IT, IT HAS ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. THIS PART IS NOT A PART THAT IS EXPECTED TO WEAR OF INSPECTED DURING NORMAL MAINTENANCE.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED, MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND WOULD NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY. AFTER USING A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT EXCEEDED THE DISTANCE AT WHICH I WAS TRYING TO STOP WITHIN. THANKFULLY A COLLISION DID NOT OCCUR AND THERE WAS NO HARM TO ANYONE.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES AFTER A SERIES OF BRAKE APPLICATIONS AT LOW SPEED. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY FIRM AND PULSATES, STOPPING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. PEDAL FEEL RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE BUT THE ISSUE RETURNS AFTER A SERIES OF BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATIONS IN A SHORT TIME SPAN. FIRST NOTICED IN A PARKING LOT AS PULLING INTO A SPACE, BUT PROBLEM REPEATED ON CITY STREETS AS PULLING UP TO STOP LIGHTS OR IN CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY TRUCK HAS LOST POWER 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AS A RESULT, BUT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. FIRST OCCURRENCE, I WAS IN MOTION BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. SECOND OCCURRENCE, I WAS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND TURNING RIGHT WHEN I LOST ALL POWER AND DRIFTED INTO TRAFFIC. THIRD OCCURRENCE, I WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND ENDED UP ON MY NEIGHBORS FRONT LAWN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THEY MADE 3 ATTEMPTS AT FIXING, I PAID EACH TIME, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED.

ANOTHER TIME PARKING AT STORE PARKING LOTS WITH CARS IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME! AND JUST NOW 7:26 P.M. IT LOCKED 5 TIMES WHILE PARKING! I TOOK IT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BACK IN AUGUST I BELIEVE AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS NOTHING IS WRONG. I CAN NOT KEEP DRIVING THIS OR HAVING MY WIFE DRIVE MY KIDS AND RISK LOOSING THEM! YOU NEED TO FIX THIS NOW! PLEASE! I BELIEVE THERE IS A RECALL GOING ARROUND; I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER IS 17V414000 A LOT OF WHAT IT SAYS SOUNDS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO MY TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
ANY TIME, WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE BRAKES TURN ROCK HARD WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO, THE BRAKES WOULD ONLY TURN HARD WHEN I WAS GOING 20MPH OR SLOWER. NOW IT'S EVERYTIME I TRY TO BRAKE WHILE DRIVING. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM STATIONARY. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT. IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD IN ME TO STOP MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE BRAKES. MY HUSBAND, WHO IS A MECHANIC, LOOKED AT MY BRAKE PADS AND THEY ARE FINE. I KEEP HAVING THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST BADGE POP UP ON MY DASH WHEN I HAVE TROUBLE BRAKING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS TO FIX THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER, OR WHATEVER MAYBE CAUSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS NOW EVERYTIME I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, COUNTRY ROAD, MY DRIVEWAY, OR TURNING. I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING MY TRUCK UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED, DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. I HAVE HORSES SO I USE MY TRUCK ON A DAILY OCCURRENCE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR NEEDS. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

DROVE 35 MILES. STOPPED OK. BACKED UP ABOUT 5 MPH. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ONLY PUSH DOWN ABOUT ONE QUARTER INCH WITH NO BRAKING ACTION. PRESSED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND GOT SLIGHT BRAKING. WE HAD IT REPAIRED AT A SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A VACUUM PUMP AND A SENSOR THAT HAD GONE BAD.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I STARTED MY TRUCK AND WHILE IN A PARKED POSITION THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS A MESSAGE REGARDING POWER-STEERING HAS BEEN REDUCED, PLEASE DRIVE WITH CAUTION. I GOOGLED IT AND NOTICE THAT MY PARTICULAR MODEL HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND RE-CALLED. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID SINCE MY VIN # HAS NO OPEN RECALLS, THEY COULDN'T ASSIST AND THAT I HAVE THE OPTION TO TAKE IT TO A SERVICE SHOP AND PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT WITH ALL THE INFORMATION ONLINE I COULDN'T GET ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER.
