2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

2016 CHEVY SILVERADO BRAKES ARE INACTIVE AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY STIFF IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP NOW GETTING REPAIRED. I WILL SEND MY VIN NUMBER WHEN I GET MY TRUCK BACK .

THE BRAKE GETS HARD WHEN YOU PUSH IT DOWN, AND IT WONT STOP. WE WERE AT A POND LOOKING AT THE WILDLIFE JUST BARELY MOVING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP FOR A MOMENT, HOWEVER THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE FELT LIKE IT WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WAS VERY HARD BUT YET, THE TRUCK KEPT ROLLING. I WAS IN A VERY BUSY CITY AND WAS SCARED THAT IT MIGHT NOT STOP IN TRAFFIC. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND THAT MADE IT WORSE. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS WELL WITHIN THE NORMAL LEVEL. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO DO OK ON THE HIGHWAY AS WE WERE COMING HOME, AS LONG AS YOU DIDNT PUSH IT DOWN TWICE...IE, YOU HAD TO PUSH ONCE AND HOLD IT CAUSE IT WOULD GET HARD IF YOU LIFTED YOUR FOOT AND BRAKED SGAIN. THE PROBLEM WAS MOSTLY IN TOWN WHERE THERE WERE NUMEROUS TIMES YOU HAVE TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC, RED LIGHTS, TURNING, ETC... THE VEHICLE JUST WOULDN'T STOP. I HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS BEFORE I COULD GET IT HOME. THE CHEVROLET DEALER SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER? (MIGHT NOT HAVE SAID THAT AS HE DID) AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS LIKE FAULTY MANUFACTURING OR JUST A BAD PRODUCT THAT GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED SO CONSUMERS COULD GET IT FIXED BEFORE ANY ACCIDENTS OCCURRED. I'M THANKFUL WE WEREN'T INJURED OR ANYONE ELSE, BUT THIS MAY NOT BE THE CASE FOR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY GM AND THEY NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I WILL BE GOING TO THE DEALER TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT IT'S UNFAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD HAVE MADE RIGHT ALREADY.

WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONSE BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE . BOTH FEET REQUIRED TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING. COULD HAVE MADE A SLOW SPEED REAR END COLLISION. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REPAIRS ARE A NEW VACUUM PUMP. THE TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES.

WHEN I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK THE BRAKE WAS HARD TO PUSH. PULLING FORWARD HITTING THE BRAKE TOOK ALLOT OF EFFORT. BACKING INTO TO PARKING SPOT AND HITTING BRAKE TOOK ALLOT OF EFFORT. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I ALMOST RAN INTO A POLE IN THE PARKING LOT AS I PULLED FORWARD. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED IN THE SITUATION OF ME PARKING.

1) COLD STARTS, PUT TRUCK IN GEAR (FORWARD/REVERSE) TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN TRUCK LURCHES INTO DIRECTION SELECTED. VELOCITY OF TRUCK ACCELERATION IS ENOUGH TO SPIN TIRES ON GRAVEL, GRASS AND PAVEMENT. 2) AFTER EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING AND CI.ING TO A STOP (EXIT RAMP) AND TRANS SLIPS UPON INITIAL START AND SHIFTING. 3) STOP AND GO DRIVING ON EXPRESS (45 MINS.) WHEN TRAFFIC STARTED TO MOVE AND REMOVING FOOT FROM BRAKE, TRUCK ROLLS AND WHEN SHIFTING INTO NEXT GEAR, TRANS ABRUPTLY SHIFTS AND SQUAWK TIRES. HAD TO ALLOW TRUCK TO START ROLLING WHILE KEEPING FOOT ON BRAKE AND KEEPING TRUCK FROM LURCHING FORWARD AND SQUEALING TIRES AND HITTING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. 4) WHEN PASSING OR ACCELERATING ONTO EXPRESSWAY, CAN FEEL THE PROPULSION FLUTTERING. * PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND EXPERIENCED SINCE NEW. NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP AND RECALIBRATED SHIFTING AND PROBLEM CONTINUES. I HAVE PICS OF TIRE SPIN UPON INITIAL ENGAGEMENT OF TRANS AND ABRUBTLY ACCELERATING VEHICLE .

THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. RANDOMLY THE PEDAL STIFFENS A D WONT LET ME BRAKE PROPERLY. IT HAPPENS IN REVERSE AND IN DRIVE. WHEN PRESSING ON THE PEDAL IT WILL SORT OF LOCK UP AND KEEP GOING A FEW FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP L. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I'M IN THE MILITARY I HAVE A NEWBORN CHILD I DO NOT NEED TO BE HURT AT HOME WHILE DRIVING AROUND. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO GE THIS FIXED.

STEERING IS BAD AND IT SHACK ALOT THE BKAKES ARE NOT THAT GOOD I SLIP ON THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME

FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE THE BRAKES NEVER SEEMED TO BE ADEQUATE. YOU WOULD HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BRAKES THAN NORMAL TO MAKE THE TRUCK STOP. DURING ROUTINE SERVICE THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THE BRAKES, DRIVERS SIDE REAR WERE ALMOST METAL TO METAL AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE 2/3 WORN AND ALL OF THE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS TRUCK IS LEASED AND HAS ONLY 32000 MILES ON IT THEREFORE SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE REPLACING BRAKES AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. PER THE DEALERSHIP IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS BRAKES FALL UNDER THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF A VEHICLE. AGAIN, WE FEEL THAT WITH ONLY 32000 MILES BRAKES SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GM TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS THE 4TH NEW GM TRUCK THAT I'VE OWNED OR LEASED AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES BEFORE WITH BRAKES.

POWER BRAKE FAILURE. LOST BRAKES PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE. PARKING SPACE BARRIER STOPPED THE TRUCK. BRAKES BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN AFTER LETTING TRUCK SIT AND RESTART ENGINE. VERY DANGEROUS! TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND THE VACUUM PUMP FAILED INTERNALLY. DEALER WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS FOR FAULTY VACUUM PUMP DESPITE SAFETY ISSUE. TOTAL COST WAS $724+TAX. ONLY 43,000 MILES ON TRUCK. GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT ADDRESS. SERVICE BULLETIN PIT5361B.

MY BRAKES DO NOT PROPERLY FUNCTION IN WET WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE BRAKE PETAL BECOMES EXTREMELY STIFF, AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STOPPING POWER. WHILE JAMMING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I CAN, THE PADS NEVER MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. I HAVE ALREADY DAMAGED MY BUMPER BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK DURING HEAVY RAINS. WHILE PRESSING MY BREAK PETAL, I NOTICED THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER. I COULD NOT STOP IN TIME, COLLIDING WITH THE PARKING BARRIER POLE. THE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER HAPPENS ROUTINELY DURING RAIN.
