2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE FAILURE SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS IN A MINOR FENDER BENDER DUE TO THE BRAKES FAILING. THE CONSUMER ALSO OWNS ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME FAILURE. *JS

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED A FEW TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY STIFF AND WILL NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IF NEEDED IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE STEERING EITHER LOCKED UP OR LOST POWER AND THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED BUT WAS NOT TOTALED OR TOWED. THERE WAS NO INJURY REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE BURNS CHEVROLET CADILLAC, INC. DEALER (803-366-9414, LOCATED AT 2515 N, CHERRY RD, ROCK HILL, SC 29732) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING)). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT

MY TRUCK IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. PROBLEM WAS SPARATIC AND NOTICED IT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT 105,000 MILES IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SO I RESEARCHED IT. RANDOMLY AT SLOW SPEEDS LIKE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR MY DRIVEWAY OR EASING UP AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKES LOSE ALL POWER ASSIST. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS KICKING IN AND THE TRUCK JUST KEEPS ROLLING. IT TAKES ABOUT ALL THE FORCE YOU CAN GIVE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. WILL BE BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO CHEVY THIS WEEKEND. WAS HOPING FOR A RECALL BEFORE I HAD TO DISH OUT THE MONEY SINCE IT DOES SEEM TO BE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE PREMATURE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING UNTIL THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP.

BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP FAILS. SPECIAL BULLETIN ISSUES WITH WARRANTY EXTENSION. WHAT GM IS FAILING TO TELL PEOPLE, BRAKING DOES NOT SIMPLY BECOME DIFFICULT AT LOW SPEEDS, BRAKES FAIL AT NORMAL SPEEDS. VEHICLE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED AFTER EXTREME EXTENSION OF NORMAL BRAKING DISTANCE. AFTER SUGGESTED WARRANTY REPAIR I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ISSUES.

BRAKES SEEM NONEXISTENT AT LOW SPEEDS. HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE ITS GOING TO STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS WASHING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE PAINT WAS CHIPPING NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR AND HOOD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (BILL MACINTYRE CHEVROLET BUICK, 10 E WALNUT ST, LOCK HAVEN, PA 17745, (866) 608-5724) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA AND FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WHEN IN MOTION HARSH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS, SOMETIMES SO VIOLENT IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER CAR HIT ME. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SEARCH FOR GEARS, AND IS SLUGGISH FOR A HIGH HORSEPOWER VEHICLE. CONCERNING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC, TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY APPLY POWER. HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED 5 MONTHS AGO DUE TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE BETWEEN 20-35MPH. TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH HELPED FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT SHUDDER IS RETURNING AS WELL.

IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SOMEWHERE AROUND EITHER THE SUNROOF OR THE XM ANTENNA. I ALREADY HAD THE LEAK AROUND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WHICH NOT ONLY FILLED THE LENS UP WITH WATER AND KEPT BLOWING BULBS FOR MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FIXED. BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF DIFFERENT YEAR AND MODELS OF THE SILVERADO HAVE BEEN DOING SO. BUT SOME HOW WHEN IT RAINS OR I WASH MY TRUCK OR GO THRU A CAR WASH I GET WATER DRIPPING FROM MY HEADLINER ONTO MY HEATED SEATS, DOWN BEHIND MY DASH AND WATER PUDDLING UP INTO MY FLOORBOARD, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS LEAKING MY WHOLE REAR FLOORBOARD WOULD BE COMPLETELY SOAKED. THE CONDENSATION ON MY WINDOWS WOULD MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE AND BE ABLE TO SEE THRU THE WINDSHIELD, THE WATER DRIPPING ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS A DISTRACTION ALSO AND IF I TURNED ON MY HEATED SEATS I SOMETIMES WOULD FEEL ELECTRICAL SHOCKS IN MY BUTT, AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE MOLD GROWING ON TOP OF MY HEADLINER AND IN MY CARPET MAKES MY TRUCK SMELL AND I'M SURE BREATHING THE MOLD IN ISN'T HEALTH FOR ME OR MY 10 YEAR OLD SON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY PLACE AND THEY WON'T FIX IT DUE TO IT HAVING OVER 36,000 MILES YET I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH DOESN'T COVER THIS, MY INSURANCE COMPANY DOESN'T COVER IT EITHER.

LOSS OF BRAKE. DEALERSHIP SAYS FAULTY VACUUM ADVANCE TOLD THAT I MISSED THE SPECIAL WARRANTY PERIOD. BRAKE PETAL IS LIKE STEPPING IN ROCK AND TRUCK WON'T ATOP. TWICE ALMOST HIT A CAR OR A WALL
