2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

IN DECEMBER 2018 WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, BRAKES WERE APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ABOUT HALFWAY THEN BECAME "HARD." THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A "CLICKING" NOISE. WHEN CAR ROLLED TO A STOP I STARTED MOVING AGAIN AND REAPPLIED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT ON APRIL 11, 2017. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 83,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS ACCORDING TO THEIR PIT5361D. HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT GM RECENTLY PUBLISHED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY WARRANTY THE FIX UP TO 72,000 MILES. I HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR COMPLETED YET.

VACUM PUMP FOR BRAKES WENT OUT. WHEN BACKING UP OR PULLING FORWARD AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDEL STIFFINS UP AND DOESNT STOP THE VEHICLE.

BRAKE ASSIST KEEPS POPPING UP ON INFO SCREEN. THERE'S A DELAY IN BRAKING WHILE PARKING AND WHEN CLIMBING STEEP GRADES IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE.

HAVE BEEN PARKING OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES AND BRAKE HARDENS AND LOCKS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE STUCK IN SLOW TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON DIFFERENT DAYS.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF A BRAKING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN 2015 AND HAVE HAD THEM INSPECTED AT SEVERAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS, STONEBRIAR CHEVROLET N FRISCO, HUFFINES CHEVROLET IN LEWISVILLE. WE HAVE MOVED AND I TOOK INTO TODAY AND NOW THAT THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY I'M BEING TOLD I HAVE A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP THAT COULD CAUSE MY BRAKES TO FAIL. THE DEALER, PETERS CHEVROLET IN LONGVIEW, ALSO STATES UNFORUNTELY HE CANNOT SEE MY SERVICE RECORDS TO CONFIRM THE PREVIOUS BRAKE CHECKS WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM IS TAKING NO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS AND DEMANDING A CHANGE OF $600 TO REPLACE. PLEASE HELP.

THE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY WILL GET HARD WHEN DEPRESSING AT A LOW SPEED AND FAIL TO WORK. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS COMING TO A FINAL STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT IS DOWN A SLOPE AFTER I HAVE ALREADY BEEN USING THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN SOME. THE VEHICLE IS BARELY MOVING WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES GOING DOWN A SLOPE IN OUR SUBDIVISION ENTRANCE APPLYING OCCASIONAL BRAKE PRESSURE AT ABOUT 20 MPH. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP AND SEAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSHED. TOTAL ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK WAS $970 WHICH I DID NOT HAVE DONE. I NOTICED ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

THERE IS A FAULTY AC CONDENSER COMPONENT THAT LEAKS. THIS CAUSES ALL THE FREON TO BE SPILLED OUT AND MAKE THE AC BLOW HOT AIR.

LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AT LOW SPEED WHEN BACKING INTO PARKING SPOT. 4 OCCURRENCES SINCE OCTOBER 2018 UNDER EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES, CHECKED BY DEALER, NO WORK DONE BUT TAC CASE OPENED.

THE PAINT ON THIS TRUCK HAS BEGUN TO PEEL IN A COUPLE SPOTS. GM ISN'T WILLING TO FULLY COVER THIS AS THEY SAY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULDN'T HAVE PAINT ISSUES LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR.

BREAK VACUUM PUMP BREAKS GET HARD AT LOW SPEED MAKING THE THE VEHICLE HARD TO BREAK WHEN MAKING A STOP OR IN AN EMERGENCY STOP AND WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN
