WHILE BACKING UP WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL HAS VERY LITTLE TRAVEL AND IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN CAUSING VEHICLE TO CONTINUE BACKING WITH LITTLE STOPPING POWER OR EFFECT. THIS TAKES EFFECT ONLY WHEN BACKING AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE. SYSTEM CHECKED AT FIRESTONE TIRE CENTER AND RESULT INDICATED BRAKE VACUUM POWER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS OCCURS ALMOST DAILY WHEN BACKING UP.

I WAS COMING OFF A HILL AND TRYING TO BRAKE BEFORE MAKING A TURN ONTO ANOTHER ROAD. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS, FELT VERY HARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULT IN THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. I WILL ATTACH THE INVOICE FOR THE PARTS. THE TRUCK IS STILL GETTING FIXED AND DO NOT HAVE AN INVOICE FOR LABOR YET.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND SOFT AT TIMES, AND OTHER TIMES FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT RELEASING ALL THE WAY MAKING IT PULL LEFT/RIGHT RANDOMLY AND VERY HARD TO CONTROL. OCCASIONALLY THE ABS ACTIVATES WHILE NOT MOVING/PARKED JUST BY BY HOLDING BRAKE PEDAL. ALSO FOUND OIL OF SOME KIND IN BRAKE FLUID DURING ROUTINE FLUSH. VACUUM PUMP MAKES QUITE A BIT OF NOISE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND WENT VERY SLOW TO THE NEXT EXIT. I WENT TO PARK THE TRUCK AT THE HOTEL I WAS STAYING AT SHORTLY AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS IN REVERSE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AGAIN THE TRUCK HAD A HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. I DIDNT HIT ANYTHING THANK GOT BUT IT SCARED ME PRETTY GOOD. I CARPOOLED WITH A COWORKER FOR THE REST OF THAT WEEK WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK. I ENDED UP DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 3 HRS AWAY FRIDAY EVENING AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE TRUCK MUCH SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND SINCE I HAD SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRUCK GOES INTO THE DEALER 11/27/18 AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE WHAT NEEDS REPLACING. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 9/26/18 WITH 21,000 MILES ROUGHLY AND THE TRUCK NOW 25,773. THE TRUCK IS A CERTIFIED PRE OWN VEHICLE IF THAT MATTERS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I BROUGHT MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AS MY BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. STOPPING REQUIRED VERY FORCEFULLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. ON NOVEMBER 7, 2018 THE REPAIR SHOP CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE GIVEN THAT THE VEHICLE IS A RECENT MODEL WITH LIMITED MILEAGE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER TAKING A LENGTHY DRIVE THE VEHICLE HAD SAME BRAKE PROBLEMS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE GOING DOWN A HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR ON NOVEMBER 15TH. REPAIR SHOP CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND SPOKE WITH PARTS MANAGER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO AS THEY HAD A 2016 SILVERADO IN THERE SHOP SAME DAY FOR SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY DEALER PARTS MANAGER INDICATED THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL BUT THEY DID NOTICE AN ISSUE AS THEY HAD SOLD 10 ABS PUMPS IN JUST ONE WEEK! THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ABS PUMP. THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT PLACED MY FAMILY AT RISK AND COST ME MORE THAN $900. MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT IN THE RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THERE BEEN A NEED TO STOP QUICKLY I FEEL CONFIDENT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION.

JUST EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE WHILE BACKING INTO PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED TRUCK HAS JUST TURNED 40,000 MILES. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO DEPRESS AS IF THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. NOT THE CASE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH EXTREME PRESSURE AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE BEFORE I BOUNCED OFF OF CURB. I UNDERSTAND CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THIS AND THERE IS SOME CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS OUT THERE. A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT, FROM ALL THE FORUMS I HAVE READ THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WILL TAKE INTO DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF IT DON'T KILL ME FIRST. HELP
