2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

DRIVING NEWLY PURCHASED 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 AT 35-45 MPH ON FREEWAY (WHICH HAS A 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT). TRAFFIC AHEAD WAS SLOWING DOWN, AND THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED, SPEED WAS REDUCED, BUT WHEN THE CARS IN FRONT (WITH AT LEAST 5 CAR LENGTHS OF SPACE ) SUDDENLY STOPPED, AND I SLAMMED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES FAILED. I TRIED AND TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKES, BUT THE TRUCK DIDN'T STOP, AND I REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH ENDED UP REARING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF IT, AND SO FORTH. DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT RESPONDING, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP LIKE THE REST OF TRAFFIC, AND THUS, CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. (NOTE: THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE, NOT WENT ROAD, AS STATED ON POLICE REPORT.)

BRAKES SUDDENLY REQUIRED MUCH MORE EFFORT TO WORK. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS, AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN APPLIED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SLOWING FROM 50-80MPH. EXAMPLES OF WHEN THIS FREQUENTLY OCCURS ARE: ENTERING PARKING SPACES, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, APPROACHING TOLL BOOTHS ON HIGHWAYS, DESCENDING HILLS, AND ANY SITUATION WHERE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. CONDITION CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE NEEDED TO STAND ON BRAKES WHEN STOPPING IN MANY OCCASIONS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. LATELY THE CONDITION HAD WORSENED AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS AND SURVIVE BULLETINS FROM GM THAT INCLUDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD BE A FORCED SAFETY RECALL.

BRAKING ASSIST SERVICE WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON SCREEN. NOTICED BRAKING ASSIST IS NOT WORKING AT LOW SPEED AND IDLE. REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT FOOT PRESSURE TO HAVE BRAKES WORK. NO ACCIDENT YET.

SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. CHEVY WENT FROM OFFERING TO LEMON LAW IT OUT TO SITTING BACK WAITING ON AN INTEL TO FINISH KILLING ME. THEY SABOTAGED TRUCK OR ITS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT 45 MPG FRON TEND COLLISSION. I COULD HAVE DIED. THEY DONT CARE. 1 YEAR LATER, NO ONE CAME TO LOOK AT IT. THEY DELAY ME DAY ATER DAY

I HAVE A 2015 SILVERADO 1500 5.3 WITH ABOUT 90K MILES. WHILE I WAS PARALLEL PARKING, AFTER THE 2ND PUMP, I REALIZED THE TRUCK WASNT STOPPING. I HAD TO USE BOTH LEGS TO MAKE IT STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN THE BACK OF ME AND ALMOST CRUSHING A PEDESTRIAN. MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE. I DO HEAR AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AT ALL TIMES. KINDA LIKE A BAD PULLEY BEARING OR SOMETHING. NOTICED IT THE DAY THE TRUCK STARTED ACTING UP. I LOOKED ONLINE ON MUTIPLE WEBSITES AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH APPROPRIATE FORCE ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE POWER... I WOULD EQUATE IT TO 85-90% BRAKE LOSS. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED OVER DOUBLE THE USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE. I DID END UP GOING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS THANKFULLY NOT HIT. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED MY TRUCK, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND ALL NORMAL PEDAL FEEL HAS BEEN RESTORED.

AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY GETS HARD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES.

THE RACK AND PINION HAS GONE OUT ON MY 2015 CHEVY 1500. LOUD CREAKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM TURNING THE WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE. FOR A TRUCK TO BE 4 YEARS AND WITH 40K MILES AND THIS TO GO BAD IS A REAL QUALITY ISSUE. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DELAYED IN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORAN CHEVROLET CLINTON TWP (35500 GRATIOT AVE, CLINTON TWP, MI 48035, (866) 774-3206) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY 1500. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER,(IN ALABAMA) SO WHEN MY AC STOPPED WORKING I FIGURED IT NEEDED RECHARGED AS I DO USE IT QUITE OFTEN. RECHARGED IT AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS. THEN OUT AGAIN. SO I RECHARGED IT AND USED THE DYE TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS LOCATED. CAN NOT SEE WHERE A LEAK IS ANYWHERE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS, WHY IS NOTHING DONE? I UNDERSTAND THAT AC IS NOT A NECESSITY TO SOME BUT WITH A 7 YO THAT HAS ASTHMA, LIVING IN ALABAMA IT BECOMES A NECESSITY. OH, FYI WHEN YOUR AIR NOT WORKING NEITHER DOES YOUR DEFOG. WHEN DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ITS SO BAD YOU CANT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES BC OF IT. I DID HIT A DOG BC I COULDNT SEE IT..... AND TO THINK ALL THE 1000'S OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BC OF A FLAWED DESIGN. YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTE BEFORE PAYING A LAWSUIT BC SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BC OF SOMETHING SIMPLE AND KNOWN.
