2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

LOSS OF BRAKING AT IDLE SPEED BROUGHT T OK DESLER GHEY REPLACED MULTIPLE COMPONENTS EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED ALL BUT $100

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND WENT VERY SLOW TO THE NEXT EXIT. I WENT TO PARK THE TRUCK AT THE HOTEL I WAS STAYING AT SHORTLY AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY AND AS I WAS IN REVERSE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT AGAIN THE TRUCK HAD A HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. I DIDNT HIT ANYTHING THANK GOT BUT IT SCARED ME PRETTY GOOD. I CARPOOLED WITH A COWORKER FOR THE REST OF THAT WEEK WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK. I ENDED UP DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 3 HRS AWAY FRIDAY EVENING AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE TRUCK MUCH SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND SINCE I HAD SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRUCK GOES INTO THE DEALER 11/27/18 AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE WHAT NEEDS REPLACING. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 9/26/18 WITH 21,000 MILES ROUGHLY AND THE TRUCK NOW 25,773. THE TRUCK IS A CERTIFIED PRE OWN VEHICLE IF THAT MATTERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO CIOCCA CHEVROLET OF QUAKERTOWN (855 S WEST END BLVD, QUAKERTOWN, PA 18951) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY, TORQUE SENSOR, AND HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,100.

NOTICED FAILURE OF VEHICLE TO STOP. LACK OF POWER ASSIST BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL IS ROCK HARD WITH LITTLE TO ZERO TRAVEL (1/4' AT MOST). VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE (REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL) FOR SEVERAL FEET. WHILE THIS HAS OCCURRED IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS; THE ISSUE IS CONSISTENTLY OBSERVED IN REVERSE.

AIR CONDITION COIL LEAK WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL ON SILVERADO, BUT ON TAHOE. THIS IS THE SAME PART AND SAME ISSUE, SO WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THE SILVERADO? I WOULD LIKE CREDIT FOR THE $1300 REPLACEMENT COST I PAID.

JUST EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE WHILE BACKING INTO PARKING SPACE AT LOW SPEED TRUCK HAS JUST TURNED 40,000 MILES. BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO DEPRESS AS IF THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. NOT THE CASE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH EXTREME PRESSURE AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE BEFORE I BOUNCED OFF OF CURB. I UNDERSTAND CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THIS AND THERE IS SOME CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS OUT THERE. A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT, FROM ALL THE FORUMS I HAVE READ THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WILL TAKE INTO DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF IT DON'T KILL ME FIRST. HELP

I BROUGHT MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AS MY BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. STOPPING REQUIRED VERY FORCEFULLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. ON NOVEMBER 7, 2018 THE REPAIR SHOP CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE GIVEN THAT THE VEHICLE IS A RECENT MODEL WITH LIMITED MILEAGE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER TAKING A LENGTHY DRIVE THE VEHICLE HAD SAME BRAKE PROBLEMS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE GOING DOWN A HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR ON NOVEMBER 15TH. REPAIR SHOP CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND SPOKE WITH PARTS MANAGER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO AS THEY HAD A 2016 SILVERADO IN THERE SHOP SAME DAY FOR SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY DEALER PARTS MANAGER INDICATED THERE WAS NOT A CURRENT RECALL BUT THEY DID NOTICE AN ISSUE AS THEY HAD SOLD 10 ABS PUMPS IN JUST ONE WEEK! THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ABS PUMP. THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT PLACED MY FAMILY AT RISK AND COST ME MORE THAN $900. MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKE EQUIPMENT IN THE RECENT MODEL CHEVY SILVERADO IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THERE BEEN A NEED TO STOP QUICKLY I FEEL CONFIDENT I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION.

WHEN PUMPING BRAKES TO STOP, ON THE SECOND TO THIRD PUMP THE PEDAL GETS ROCK HARD AND VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. LOSS OF VACUUM PRESSURE SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE. IN THE GM DEALER NOW, TELLING ME THE VACUUM BOOSTER DEFECTIVE

AFTER DRIVING AT REGULAR SPEEDS BRAKES WORK FINE. IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC FEEL LIKE NO BRAKE PEDAL, HAVE TO PRESS VERY HARD TRUCK 2 GET TRUCK TO STOP.
