THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM BECOME RIGID AT LOW SPEED (APPROX 3MPH OR SO) AS IF THE POWER BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS. THE VEHICLES STOPPING DISTANCE CHANGES AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TOWARD THE FLOOR. THIS ISSUE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO MY GARAGE DOOR WHILE BACKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE ISSUE IS BEST DESCRIBED IN THE PENDING INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE GM BRAKING SYSTEM LOCATED UNDER CHEVROLET SILVERADO RECALLS. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE INVESTIGATION AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLES BRAKES. THE INVESTIGATION STATEMENT DESCRIBES THE ISSUE AS A PROBLEM WITH DEGRADING BRAKE VACUUM COMPONENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
MULTIPLE TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY PARKING OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. IT'S TERRIFYING WHEN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE TO PUT MY FULL BODY WEIGHT (I'M A 200LB MALE) ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I MEAN I BARELY CAN BRING IT TO A STOP. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING IN THE TIME IT TOOK FROM THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIGURED OUT TO BE A BAD VACUUM PUMP. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH NOT MANY OWNERS REPORTING THEIR PROBLEMS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I COULDN'T IMAGINE THAT HAPPENING AT HIGH SPEED, AS REPORTED BY OTHERS. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKES DO THAT. JUST TRYING TO HELP PREVENT SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

I HAVE A 2015 1500 SILVERADO AND IT IS HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. THE PEDDLE BECOMES HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT COME TO A STOP. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SEVERAL TIMES COMING TO A STOP AT LOW IDLE ON THE STREET. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WOULD BE $1100 AND GM DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON IT. THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP AND SEVERAL OTHER THINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES I NOTICED MY AC NOT WORKING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE VERY COSTLY TO FIX AND A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS NEAR ME WOULD NOT GET BACK TO ME ABOUT PRICE AND TO TO FIX IT, THEY TOLD ME ITS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THEY DID TELL ME IT WOULD TAKE 9 HOURS TO FIX-BOOK TIME AND THE PARTS WOULD BE AROUND $300+. SEEMS TOO EARLY FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT TO STOP WORKING I NOTICE A SMELL INSIDE THE CAB AND IT WAS FROM THE EVAPORATOR COIL LEAKING. THIS HAPPENED IN MID SPRING AND JUST NOW WAS TOLD HOW TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET DUE TO COST AND FINDING SOMEONE TO DO IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN LIFTING THE SNOWPLOW, RANDOMLY THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER AND RADIO SYSTEM WILL GO BLANK. GM HAS ADMITTED TO THIS FLAW IN THEIR 1500 MODEL FOR THE SAME YEAR TRUCK, HAS OFFERED A FIX AT THEIR EXPENSE, HOWEVER WILL NOT OFFER THE SAME FIX FOR THE 2500 MODEL, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. (GM BULLETIN ATTACHED FOR 1500 MODEL). I SPOKE TO A MCKAYLA (SUPERVISOR) IN THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT. SHE SAID GM WILL NOT COVER IT AND IT IS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. SHE FURTHER STATED IF AT A TIME GM DECIDES IT IS A FAULT OF THEIRS IN THE FUTURE, I WOULD AT THAT TIME BE REIMBURSED. I HAVE INCLUDED THE DEALER REPAIR SLIP THAT SHOWS HARNESS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THE COST OF REPAIR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM AFTER IT SHOWED WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE SIGNS OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) RECALL AFFECTING IT. THE DEALERSHIP APPLIED THE FIX THAT GM HAD AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE VERY NEXT DAY I EXPERIENCED WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ACTING UP AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 M.P.H. ON THE HIGHWAY BEGINNING THE INTERCHANGE TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY AND COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS. THE LOSS OF STEERING WAS ALMOST AS SOON AS I STARTED THE TURN AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GO OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THEN FOR THE NEXT 5-7 SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING TURNED BACK ON AND, BECAUSE OF HOW HARD I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL, I ALMOST ENDED UP IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT WHERE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS. I HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES LIKE THIS UNTIL THE RECALL WAS WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE TRUCK WAS ACTING WEIRD, AND AT A STOP THE TRUCK FELT AS IF IT WAS STRUGGLING TO STAY RUNNING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED AND AGREED TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THEM TWO DAYS LATER. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS DUE TO BAD BATTERY CABLES AND THAT CAUSED POWER LOSS DURING THE TURN. THEY SPENT HOURS SCANNING THE SYSTEM TO FIND THAT THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED, WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT FIND, BUT THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT THAT SHOWED ON THE DASH NOTIFYING ME THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT AND TO DRIVE WITH CARE, SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY DID NOT FIND IT DURING THEIR SCAN. THEY THEN TELL ME THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN, THAT CAME OUT A MONTH AFTER THE EPS RECALL DID, AND IT WILL BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I CANNOT STOP THINKING THAT THIS ISSUE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE EPS SOFTWARE FIX AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED TO THE RECALL TO REPLACE THE BATTERY CABLES.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN PLACING THE TRUCK IN REVERSE OR DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND HAVE HAD TWO REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS AND OTHER ISSUES. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT GENERAL MOTORS CALLS THIS DELAYED ENGAGEMENT. DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN STATING THEY WILL NO LONGER REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS FOR DELAYED ENGAGEMENT. THIS IS UNSAFE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN GEAR AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND IT DOES NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED HARDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE BUT SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE AND UNEXPECTED DISTANCE. THIS SITUATION OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS SITTING OVERNIGHT BUT CAN HAPPEN OTHER TIMES ALSO. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE SITUATION AND USUALLY REMEMBER TO NOT ACCELERATE AND WAIT AN EXTENDED TIME FOR ENGAGEMENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
WHENEVR I BACK THE TRUCK UP AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES TEMPORARILY FAIL FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-3 FEET. COMING TO A STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS CAN ALSO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO TAKE EXTRA DISTANCE TO STOP. I HAVE CHANGED TO NEW BRAKE PADS, TURNED THE ROTORS, AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES. THE TRUCK BOUNCES SEVERELY WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH ON CONCRETE ROADS. ONLY ON CONCRETE. ASPHALT HAS NORMAL RIDE AS SOON AS THE ROAD TRANSITIONS THEN THE TRUCK BOUNCES.
