2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH PREPARING TO COME TO A STOP ON A LITTLE USED STREET, THE VEHICLE INSTANTLY DIED. THERE WAS NO POWER AND NO WARNING AT ALL. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS GONE AND THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OFF. THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER AT THE SAME TIME THE ENGINE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PLACED IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION ON AND HAD NO POWER. TURNED IT OFF AGAIN, THEN BACK ON. THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL LIT UP, GAUGES WENT HAYWIRE THEN THE DISPLAY READ *OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW*. I DID THAT, THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP AGAIN AND HAS DRIVEN NORMALLY SINCE. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGH SPEED, THE OBVIOUS COULD OCCUR.

CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY WHILE AT A LOW IDLE WHILE IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC AND BACKING UP. BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS TO GO TO THE FLOOR AND REQUIRED GREATER FORCE TO STOP VEHICLE.

LOSS IN BREAK POWER AT LOW RATE SPELL WHEN PARKING. FELT LIKE THE TRUCK LOST FULL POWER TO BREAK SYSTEM. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN PARKING. LOOKS TO BE A VACUUM PUMP FAILURE. FOUND NO RECALLS ON ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE

AS OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, I'M SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WAITING FOR A NEW VACUUM PUMP TO BE INSTALLED BECAUSE MY TRUCK WILL NOT STOP AT LOW SPEEDS PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES OR DRIVEWAY. WAITING ON ACTUAL PRICE BUT POSSIBLY $700 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (PARKING LOTS, STAND STILL TRAFFIC) THE BRAKES LOSE ASSISTANCE CAUSING THE PEDAL TO BECOME EXTREMELY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS RESULTING IN THE TRUCK BEING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AND THERE IS DOCUMENTED FAILURE OF AC CONMPRESSORS FAILING ON THESE UNITS BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE

POWER BRAKING FAILURE. BRAKE BOOSTER/VACUUM PUMP HAS FAILURE WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (BACKING/PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS, DRIVING IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, ETC.). THE BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENS UP, AND AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THIS ISSUE MANY TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE DAYS, AS HAS THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHEN A VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ABS IS NO LONGER ACTIVE. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED (VERY HEAVILY), AND THE THE PEDAL STIFFENS UP, THE TRUCK STILL PROCEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS ANOTHER FOOT OR SO PRIOR TO FULLY STOPPING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS I COMMONLY DRIVE IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC TO AND FROM WORK, AS WELL AS PARK IN A PARKING DECK BACKING UP TO EITHER OTHER VEHICLES, OR A CONCRETE WALL.

BRAKES ARE HARD AT LOW SPEED. PRESSING THE BRAKE AT LOW SPEED MAKE IT VERY HARD FOR CAR TO STOP. NO LIGHTS TURN ON THE DASH AT THE TIME OF THIS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS MOST DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR WHEN IN A PARKING LOT OF A STORE WHERE CAR IS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND ON AN INCLINE, BRAKE PEDAL BECOME VERY HARD TO PUSH AND DO NOT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH GM. BASED ON ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, MAJORITY OF THEM ARE FOR THE SAME REASON INVOLVING THE BRAKE ISSUE. EACH OCCASSION VEHICLE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS AND WHEN GOING DOWN AN INCLINE AT LOW SPEEDS.

DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE. BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD TO DEPRESS AND WITH MORE PRESSURE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE BAKING UP OUT OF A PARKING STALL, THE BRAKE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, WITH THE VEHICLE STOPPING AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE.
