My truck has been modififed by either a powerful entity or by the dealership itself at the direction of a powerful entity. truck has so many problems. i bought from same dealership out of show room and trusted them. after accident, air bags did not deploy and i couldnt figure out why. see burn marks around edges of airbags along with conductive string sew into them. also noticed extra conductors added along with extra insulator layer. cigarette outlets all manipulated after replaced with higher output plugs. also found air bag sensors which are discontinuted as they belong to trucks from 2007-2009. frame is for a 1ton truck which has beengreased front to back. axels are clearly older and are labeled for a ck2500 (1 tom) model drive shaft and many other components have markings throughout to establish path of least resistance to guide short of electricity to driver to shock me. modles modfified to gain access to truck. i am lucky to be alive. you guys have to see this truck in person. way too uch to list. dealership had it long time to do repairs. when taken back to them to figure out hwy the loud shakes, the dealershp certified shop tech stated everything is perfectl normal. that wa s a lie.eewwdduuuuuuuuuuuuuefu
Brake system fails at low idle speed. when truck is put in gear the brake pedal becomes stiff and vehicle cannot stop. brake pedal also does this in stop and go traffic. chevrolet says this is not a safety issue. how is this not a safety issue? the problem is a mechanical pump called a power brake booster pump. we were told this can be replaced for $1100 and is not a warranted part. the only way to keep brake pressure at low speed is to hold your foot on the brake pedal and give vehicle gas to increase the rpm's. how is this safe?
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.
The truck shakes at speeds of from 35 mph, then it stops and when driving on the highway at speeds between 60 and 70 on the thruway it shakes again. the vibration is transferred through the gas pedel and into the seats and console. also when brakeing it shakes. its been in for service several times for this since i bought it. also the voltage meter drops and i lose dash board lights.this happens while the vehicle was in motion on both city and highway driving. i'm tired of loseing valuable days off to drive up to denooyer chevy in albany to have them look at this again. the truck travels straight and true but shakes at those speeds, sometime it makes a drowning sound as it happens.its in the front end part of the suspension i believe. the tires were all high speed balanced and air is perfect in all 4 tires. has anyone experienced this?
While driving my family, i lost over 90% of my stopping power while exiting the highway on an off ramp. luckily it happened when i had already slowed down off the ramp to get off the highway (and not just moments before while on the highway). after extreme caution and smart use of down-shifting and the emergency brake, i was able to slowly navigate into a parking lot that was really close to where the incident first happened. after having the truck towed to my dealer, the service department said it was a vacuum pump failure and replaced it (note that they offered no other explanation other than what failed and that it was fixed). the truck seems to be okay for now, but i am very concerned about my (and my family's) safety and overall reliability of this truck. who's to say it won't happen again while i'm in a more high-speed situation?
Vehicle in motion on city street, abs light came on sporadically. while abs light was on, braking system would engage. two days after incident, abs shows constant, all the time, abs brakes randomly engage.
Loss of braking power. hard, stiff brake pedal typically occurs at slower speeds or while repeated braking in a short time frame. this has happened sporadically over the lifetime of the truck.
Brake pedal becomes unresponsive and soft at times, and other times feels like the brakes are not releasing all the way making it pull left/right randomly and very hard to control. occasionally the abs activates while not moving/parked just by by holding brake pedal. also found oil of some kind in brake fluid during routine flush. vacuum pump makes quite a bit of noise.
Front brakes completely worn at 12,000 miles. dealer replaced rotors and pads free of charge. vehicle now has 20,000 miles on it, and front pads are worn prematurely again.
Trailer not connect warning
Check trailer wiring warning - while driving down the road at different speeds, weather, smooth versus rough roads, while pulling two different trailers, the truck indicates to check the wiring and 1 second later it indicated the trailer is connected. it may happen several times in a mile and then not occur for 50 miles. one time there was a message to check the brake controller. this happens each time i hook a trailer up to the truck. truck is at the dealer and they are saying there is nothing wrong with the truck. 6 months ago when i pulled the same trailers with my 2012 chevy pickup, i did not have this concern. only started with the new truck. is a concern when the trailer brakes do not work during this time. this could be a serious problem when i tow my travel trailer again.
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.
Please see attached documents pertaining to vibration issues, emergency brake cable being cut and u-joints oozing grease. also have numerous videos on the vibration issues like many others.
Driving at slow speeds especially parking the brake pedal gets hard to depress and braking power is almost non-existent. this has been happening on and off since 30,000 miles and now daily at 60,000. the abs indicator has gone on and off and the check engine light is on constantly now.
I unerstand that you are already investigating the braking braking problem at slow speeds , i have been experiencing the same problem for some time , can you please add me to your complaint list , and keep me informed of any results , thanks (xxxxx) parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
I applied the brakes firmly for a car stopping short unexpectedly on the highway. i released the brake for a second or two to allow room for the car behind me to stop in time. when i reapplied the brake the second time, there was little to no braking action. the pedal did not more and did not travel all the way to the floor. there was no power assist. i was able to recreate the problem later at low speed when there was no traffic. i brought the truck to the dealer who could find nothing wrong but replaced the brake vacuum pump. the condition has not re-occurred since the repair was made in may. i have included a copy of the service invoice. i am reporting this because i see on the news you are investigating brake issues.
