2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING TO THE RIGHT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 8501 N OWASSO EXPY, OWASSO, OK 74055, (888) 981-6002) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,600.

I'VE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING AND ALSO RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM CHEVY/GM IN REGARDS TO THE BRAKE FAILURE AT SLOW SPEEDS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE OCCUR AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AS BIG OF A KNOWN PROBLEM UNTIL CONDUCTING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH. WANT TO ENSURE MY VOICE IS HEARD/KNOWN IN THE LARGER COMPLAINT THAT IS DEVELOPING. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION WHEN THIS OCCURS. SIMPLY TURN OFF TRUCK AND START IT UP AGAIN AND THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. HOWEVER THE ISSUE OCCURS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND COULD DEFINITELY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

BRAKES BECOME DIFFICULT TO OPERATE AND/OR INOPERABLE ON 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO BACK INTO A PARKED VEHICLE AND HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR DISASTERS WHEN POSITIONING THE CAMPER. I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM THAT THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM, BUT ARE NOT TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY. THEY ARE OFFERING TO MAKE SOME REPAIRS UNDER A "SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM," WHICH EXCLUDES MY VEHICLE DUE TO MILEAGE. THIS SHOULD BE A FULL AND COMPLETE RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES EFFECTED.

I LOSE THE POWER BRAKES IF I TOUCH THE PEDAL AT LOW SPEED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF THE POWER BRAKES AND IR BARELY STOPS.

ON 12/15/2018 MY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED AT A DEALERSHIP. TOTAL COST $1506.56. MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, AND A CONNECTING PIPE HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. APRIL 2019, I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GM, DESCRIBING THIS ISSUE AND SAYING IF I HAVE LESS THAN 72,000 MILES OR BOUGHT IT NEW WITHIN THE LAST 6 YEARS,WHICHEVER COME FIRST, THEY WILL FIX IT. BRAKES ARE A VERY SERIOUS COMPONENT. THIS PROBLEM DATES BACK TO THE 2014,S. I FEEL GM SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY REPAIR COST, SINCE THE PROBLEM CAME FROM THEIR PLANT. I HAVE MORE MILES ON MY TRUCK THAN THEY SAY THEY WILL COVER. BRAKES AND THE COMPONENTS ARE THINGS THEY SHOULD COVER. I HAVE INVOICES AND PROOF THAT I PAID THESE EXPENSES. EVERY PERSON PAYS HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A NEW VEHICLE. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BACK THEIR VEHICLES. I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET WHEN THIS PUMP WENT OUT. I HAD ALL I COULD DO TO STOP IT, USING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE VEHICLE SLID BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,425.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A POLICE CRUISER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRIS MYERS GMV DODGE (27163 US-98, DAPHNE, AL 36526, (251) 621-8885) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT NEW BRAKES WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,382.

WHEN BACKING DOWN A STEEP INCLINE, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. I CAN BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN BACKING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS WILL BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I BACK A BOAT INTO WATER. THE DEALER ADVISED REPLACING THE VACUUM PUMP AND HOSE WITH NEW DESIGN.

WHEN AT A SLOW ROLLING SPEED BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO BRAKE, MAINLY WHEN IN PARKING LOTS OR BACKING MY BOAT IN THE BOAT RAMP ITS EXTREMELY SCARY AND SEEMS LIKE THE TRUCK WONT STOP ROLLING. THIS IS SO UNSAFE AND SCARY. ITS ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES DONT WORK. BUT IM PRETTY SURE ITS THE VACUUM PUMP BRAKE SYSTEM.

WHEN BRAKING FREQUENTLY IN A PARKING LOT OR AT LOW SPEEDS THE STOPPING POWER GETS WORSE AND ALMOST WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE 86,760 MILES ON MY TRUCK CURRENTLY BUT THIS HAS DONE IT SINCE 20,000 MILES AND SINCE THEN OFF AND ON.
