2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MY BRAKES BECAME SO HARD TO PUSH THAT I COULD NOT SUCCESSFULLY GET IT TO STOP EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT USING MY BODY'S WEIGHT TO TRY AND DEPRESS THE BRAKES. I STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP CORRECTLY. THEN I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE. HAPPENED MANY TIMES MORE BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN TO BE FIXED.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD TO PRESS AT TIMES. PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED HARD TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP. OCCURRED 02/14/19, ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO OCCURS WHEN LETTING FOOT ON AND OFF BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES. ALMOST FEELS AS IF NO BRAKING POWER AT ALL, UNLESS PRESSED HARD TO THE FLOOR.

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES ROCK HARD AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR ON AN INCLINE

MY 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO BRAKES BECOME VERY STIFF WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPERATE OCCATIONS. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY USE EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. ON TWO OCCATIONS I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BUT STOPPED JUST INCHES AWAY. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN TO PEP BOYS AND BRAKES PLUS IN DENVER, CO. BOTH COMPANIES CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I'VE READ THAT THERE IS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON.

AT LOW SPEED MY BRAKES SEEM TO HAVE FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD AND I ALMOST DROVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

LOSE BRAKE ASSIST(?) UPON SITTING WITH FOOT ON BRAKE @ STOP LIGHT/PARKING LOT. PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND WILL NOT STOP. HAS NOT HAPPENED @ SPEED. HAD REPAIRED, SAID WAS VACUUM PUMP MALFUNCTION-$600. HAVE READ OF OTHER REPORTED MALFUNCTIONS OF SAME STYLE.

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WAS VERY STIFF AND I HAD TO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I ALMOST HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME. CHEVROLET DEALER DIAGNOSED A BAD VACUUM PUMP AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS MALFUNCTION IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

BRAKE PEDAL VERY STIFF WITH LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER. HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. ALREADY HAD VACUUM PUMP REPLACED ON 01/25/2019. SAME ISSUE AGAIN ON 01/29/19. TAKING BACK TO MECHANIC.
