INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT, HARD BRAKE PEDAL, AND/OR POTENTIALLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE DUE TO LOW MECHANICAL VACUUM PUMP OUTPUT. CONDITION IS MORE PREVALENT AT LOW SPEED WHEN SOFTLY APPLYING THE BRAKE. DECREASE VACUUM/POWER BRAKE ASSIST OVER TIME, FAILURE TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO CONDITIONS. DRIVER'S INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST" ALERT WILL ACTIVATE 2-5 MINUTES AFTER DROPPING IN VACUUM LEVEL, AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) WILL ALSO BE SET. HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM REMAINS FUNCTIONAL BUT MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PEDAL FORCE.

WHEN TRAVELING IN LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY IN REVERSE, I HAVE TO INCREASE MY BREAK PEDAL EFFORT AND PRESS REALLY HARD TO STOP THE TRUCK. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT BUT IT DOES HAPPEN OFTEN.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN DIMINISHED BRAKING PERFORMANCE. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS WE WERE PULLING A CAMPER WHEN IT HAPPENED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED VACUUM PUMP WHEN VEHICLE WAS AT 78260MILES ALTHOUGH CONDITION STARTED BEFORE THAT. WE RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO 72000 MILES OR 6 YEARS. THE REPAIR COST US OVER $500.

MY VACUUM PUMP ON MY 2015 HIGH COUNTRY SILVERADO IS GOING BAD, IS WHAT THE CHEVY DEALER DIAGNOSED AFTER I EXPLAINED HOW WHEN I REVERSE SPECIALLY IT FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES ARE FAILING AND THEN THE PEDDLE GETS SUPER HARD. THEY SAID ITS NOT NORMAL BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL SAFE IN MY CHEVROLET TRUCK IF MY BRAKES CAN SUDDENLY GO OUT?

I HAVEN'T USED THE A/C IN MY TRUCK SINCE LAST OCTOBER (2018) APPROXIMATELY. TWO WEEKS AGO WAS THE FIRST TIME I'VE TRIED TO USE MY A/C AND IT IS ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR, AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED, THIS IS AN KNOWN PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF VEHICLES FROM GM FROM 2014-2017 AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT.THIS IS NOT OKAY, WHATSOEVER.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING WHEN ON. WHILE IN MOTION MY STABILITRACK LIGHT ILLUMINATES ALONG WITH THE SEATBELT LIGHT. WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL THE RADIO DISPLAY GOES OUT FOR ABOUT A SECOND AND TURNS BACK ON. WHEN BRAKING THE RADIO DISPLAY GOES OFF FOR A SECOND. I GET A LOW BATTERY SIGNAL MAYBE 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK, I DRIVE MY TRUCK DAILY. IT HAS 76K MILES. I LOSE POWER STEERING AFTER ABOUT 150 MILE DRIVE. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS. 4/22/2019 WAS THE WORST. ALL OF IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON A 175 MILE DRIVE

BRAKE FAILURE , WHILE PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT , BRAKES LOSE PRESSURE AND BECOME VERY STIFF AND STOP WORKING. THE PEDAL BECOMES QUITE HARD AND WILL NOT WORK CAUSING VEHICLE TO CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSE. ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, I HAVE BARELY MISSED IMPACTING THE CARS ACROSS THE PARKING LOT.
