SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE A 2015 SILVERADO 1500 5.3 WITH ABOUT 90K MILES. WHILE I WAS PARALLEL PARKING, AFTER THE 2ND PUMP, I REALIZED THE TRUCK WASNT STOPPING. I HAD TO USE BOTH LEGS TO MAKE IT STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN THE BACK OF ME AND ALMOST CRUSHING A PEDESTRIAN. MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE. I DO HEAR AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AT ALL TIMES. KINDA LIKE A BAD PULLEY BEARING OR SOMETHING. NOTICED IT THE DAY THE TRUCK STARTED ACTING UP. I LOOKED ONLINE ON MUTIPLE WEBSITES AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH APPROPRIATE FORCE ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE POWER... I WOULD EQUATE IT TO 85-90% BRAKE LOSS. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED OVER DOUBLE THE USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE. I DID END UP GOING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS THANKFULLY NOT HIT. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED MY TRUCK, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND ALL NORMAL PEDAL FEEL HAS BEEN RESTORED.

THE RACK AND PINION HAS GONE OUT ON MY 2015 CHEVY 1500. LOUD CREAKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM TURNING THE WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE. FOR A TRUCK TO BE 4 YEARS AND WITH 40K MILES AND THIS TO GO BAD IS A REAL QUALITY ISSUE. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY 1500. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER,(IN ALABAMA) SO WHEN MY AC STOPPED WORKING I FIGURED IT NEEDED RECHARGED AS I DO USE IT QUITE OFTEN. RECHARGED IT AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS. THEN OUT AGAIN. SO I RECHARGED IT AND USED THE DYE TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS LOCATED. CAN NOT SEE WHERE A LEAK IS ANYWHERE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS, WHY IS NOTHING DONE? I UNDERSTAND THAT AC IS NOT A NECESSITY TO SOME BUT WITH A 7 YO THAT HAS ASTHMA, LIVING IN ALABAMA IT BECOMES A NECESSITY. OH, FYI WHEN YOUR AIR NOT WORKING NEITHER DOES YOUR DEFOG. WHEN DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ITS SO BAD YOU CANT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES BC OF IT. I DID HIT A DOG BC I COULDNT SEE IT..... AND TO THINK ALL THE 1000'S OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BC OF A FLAWED DESIGN. YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTE BEFORE PAYING A LAWSUIT BC SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BC OF SOMETHING SIMPLE AND KNOWN.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO BE UNRESPONSIVE ALMOST CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS LISTED AS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR LIGHT. BRAKE PEDAL INSTANTLY BECAME STIFF AND COULD NOT BE PRESSED DOWN. CHEVROLET FIXED THIS BY REPLACING ONLY THE PUMP. IT'S RECOMMENDED THE VACUUM LINES AND BRAKE BOOSTER BE REPLACED TOO DUE TO POTENTIAL OIL LEAKAGE WHICH STATES WILL CAUSE PUMP TO FAIL AGAIN. CHEVY DID NOT REPLACE ADDITIONAL PARTS FOR ME.
