THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY.

VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND TOOK TWENTY TO THIRTY MINUTES FOR THE ENGINE TO START BACK UP.*JB

REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER TWICE IN 24 MONTHS. BOTH TIMES THE SITUATION WAS THE SAME, I WAS DRIVING AS USUAL AND IN NORMAL TRAFFIC WHEN I NEEDED TO BRAKE BUT MY PEDAL WAS HARD AS A ROCK AND I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO BRAKE.

THE BRAKES KEEP GOING OUT LIKE THERE IS A VACUUM PROBLEM. THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY CAN STOP. HAPPENS IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. NOTHING COMES UP ON THE DASH AS ANYTHING WRONG. HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES AND THEN IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAPPENS COMING UP TO STOP SIGNS AND WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING STALL.

COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER, POWER STEERING, AIR BAGS, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STEREO. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE JUMP STARTED TO MAKE TO HOME.

POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN GOING SLOW AND TRYING TO TURN. THE VOLTAGE INDICATOR GOES WAY DOWN INTO MINUS, THEN GOES BACK TO NORMAL. DEALER SAID IT WAS RACK AND PINION. THEY REPLACED IT AND IT FAILED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I BELIEVE THE ELECTRIC STEERING PIWER ASSIST SYSTEM IS AT FAULT.
