2014 silverado 1500 lt. total loss of brakes in both forward and reverse at lower speeds ... brake pedal extremely hard to push. don't want to drive my truck. not safe. i might kill somebody if i did drive it
Takata recall while driving at low speeds and when the engine switches to v4 i loose braking power and have almost rear-ended a vehicle in front of me. also since i live in the mountains it has also caused me to almost drive off the road down a mountain. while backing down my driveway which is also a hill i have lost braking ability which has cause me to roll down backwards almost hitting my house and almost going off of a cliff. i have called and have been to several chevrolet dealerships spending $120.00 for an inspection with them telling me nothing is wrong with my brakes. there have been several complaints about this and it should be handled by a full recall due to it being a huge safety hazard that could cost me and others our lives. please push gm to make this a national recall and make them put the safety of peoples lives ahead of making profit. thank you for your time.
Loss of braking at low speed. the brake pedal becomes very hard and vehicle will not stop due to faulty vacuum pump. it is a known problem with these trucks and gm has even replaced the original part number with a new updated unit but has not recalled the old faulty ones. if this wasn't a faulty part then why replace it with an "updated" one. this is a very serious safety issue and i feel gm needs to be held accountable and fix this issue before someone is badly injured or killed.
Driving from ohio to florida on august 4, 2018. the last 200-300 miles the brakes worked fine during highway driving. when i would get in stop and go traffic - stop at a light, going through a drive-thru, gas station stop, etc. - the brake pedal would be very hard to push, had to use all my strength to stop vehicle and it would still slightly roll. had to contact chevy dealer in kissimee, florida to check out problem and they diagnosed brake booster and vacuum pump failed and had to be replaced.
When i am braking frequently at lower speeds (example: in line at a drive thru) my brakes get harder and harder to press until eventually i cannot press them at all. i have to put the vehicle into park, turn off the engine and crank it again. only then does it work. however, the issue comes right back. apparently, many others are experiencing it. this could be deadly. others have gotten into accidents because it happened at high speeds. there is even a technical service bulletin for this specific issue. tsb #pit5361b
Brakes on my truck have failed at low speed while parking. after only 3-4 times of lightly pumping the brakes they completely go hard and the peddle will not move. no matter what amount of pressure is applied the truck will not stop. seems to happen when in reverse the most. brake pads, fluids, etc are all perfect. problem doesn't happen at all when driving at speed. only occurred at low speed. dealership says that's probably the vacuum failing... have found that there are hundreds of complains describing the exact same problem on trucks
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving various speeds, a sudden chime sounded. next, the power steering and power brakes suddenly malfunctioned and the steering wheel became difficult to turn in either direction. also, the brake pedal had to be depressed with force to stop the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and an unknown dealer were notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 54,000. the vin was unknown.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. when the vehicle was started, the abs and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
At low speeds such as in parking lots, especially after reversing or turning the vehicle will occasionally experience the following issue: display will say that stabilitrack is on, advise that power steering is reduced. the air conditioning, radio and other electric systems will then shut off. power steering is cut off along with brake pressure. on multiple occasions the engine has also shut off requiring the vehicle to be put into park or neutral to restart the engine. if this occurred on the highway it would certainly cause a major incident.
I was driving on the interstate at about 50mph when a stabilitrak message came up. after it came up the vehicle completely shut down for a couple seconds. i lost all steering and braking during this time as if the ignition was turned off. this happened a couple of times. when i got to my destination the vehicle completely shut down before i could put it into park and turn the ignition off. it is extremely concerning that the vehicle was doing this while driving at highway speeds.
Twice in the last three days the brakes on my truck have failed at low speed while parking. after only 3-4 times of lightly pumping the brakes they completely go hard and the peddle will not move. no matter what amount of pressure is applied the truck will not stop. seems to happen when in reverse the most. brake pads, fluids, etc are all perfect. problem doesn't happen at all when driving at speed. only occurred at low speed. dealership says that's probably the vacuum failing... have found that there are hundreds of complains describing the exact same problem on trucks with less than 50,000 miles on average.
Vacuum pump failing while braking, truck not stopping normal, but "slowly rolling" to a stop.
While travelling at 50 mph on a highway, i began to apply the brakes to turn into a store parking lot. the truck slowed some, then the brake pedal became extremely hard to depress with the truck still rolling. i was able to drive truck to the local chevy dealer for inspection and repair (not covered by warranty of course) cost of $1400. gm is aware of the problem. the dealer showed me a "bulletin" they received telling them probable causes and part numbers. i called gm. i was told that there just weren't enough reported problems to issue a safety recall yet. if you google the brake problem there are numerous accounts of owners experiencing this same problem. some with narrowly missed accidents. i had no type of warning that there might a problem. gm said "sorry, can't do anything for you. keep your receipts in case a safety recall comes down." i told gm i hope it doesn't take a number of tragic accidents to issue a safety recall. this is a serious safety issue. oh, and the $1400 repair bill gets me the same crappy parts that failed!
Under low speeds the vehicle brake pedal gets very hard and the vehicle does not have expected or typical stopping power. the problem is exacerbated when towing and on hills. a service bulletin has been posted by gm (pit5361b) detailing the problem is caused by poor vacuum supplied to the brake booster at low engine speeds. first noticed the problem on an incline while towing a boat, the truck could not stop the setup within a few feet even at well less than 5 mph. continues when backing down the boat ramp and even stopping in stop and go traffic.
Brake pedal is extremely hard to push when moving at slower speeds(bumper to bumper traffic) as well as reversing into driveway close to to other vehicles has happened numerous times, have taken into local dealership to no avail.
Vehicle brakes fail when in reverse and near other vehicles. service department at kurtis chevrolet morehead city nc, informed that this is an ongoing issue but that not enough patron have complained to support a recall. this safety issue occurs while vehicle is in reverse or forward in traffic.
My complaint is hard brakes. while moving slow i experience hard brakes and the vehicle didn't want to stop rolling. this is a very big safety hazzard and concern. this need to be address immediately.
2014 chevrolet silverado multiple recalls on this vehicle and just received a letter about the faulty vacuum pump for the braking system. been having issues with mine for over a year, but apparently it's only covered by the manufacturer if it's under 72k miles. either it's a manufacturer fault or it's not. my being over 72k makes it 'my problem' i suppose. sad they are allowed to get away with this.
While driveing and comeing to a stop brake petal became extremely hard . almost ran into vehicle in front of me .spoke with local dealer and was told the vacuum pump was the problem and my truck is out of warranty and they would not repair unless i paid for it . my truck has 80000 miles on it but we use it to travel .this sould be a safety issue .
Brake system failed at low speeds - faulty vacuum pump vehicle was in motion attempting to reverse into a parking spot. this could have caused accident with injury but not limited to death. no insurance claims were made. parts and labor was 622.12 for the vacuum pump
This brake issue is a huge safety issue. with multiple complaints i don't understand why gm hasn't made this a recall yet. on more than one occasion my brakes have stiffened up and stopped working. one time was at a stop sign and i had to drive in the ditch to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me. another time was in reverse backing out of a parking spot and i nearly hit a parked truck. this is obviously a manufacturer defect that needs to be addressed. gm, what the heck are you waiting for?
While at a chevy dealer to have a recall (17276 loss of power steering) done on my truck i asked them to check on a grinding/whining noise from the area of the brake booster pump on the engine. they said in fact it was the brake vacuum booster pump, that it should be fixed or i could experience a sudden loss of braking power. they further explained it would have been covered under warranty but that expired a year ago and would now cost me some $440. am wondering if other folks have complained about this. i've read of it happening to others on certain internet blog sites. to my way of thinking the brakes (and i suppose loss of abs/traction control) are at least as important as the steering that was enough of a problem to issue a recall. btw the truck had 27,971 miles on it when the problem started, hardly 'warn out'.
Power brakes fail at low speed. pedal becomes hard and almost impossible to stop.
My brake assist light kept coming on, and when i would be going at a low speed and applying the brake, the brake peddle would get very hard and stiff. i would have to apply all possible weight i can in order to get the vehicle to stop. i was informed today that a vacuum pump is causing this issue, and needs to be replaced. the dealership told me that this is becoming a common problem that they are seeing. this is very dangerous, as i could have easily hit somebody, or been unable to stop when backing into my garage. if it had been my wife driving, i don't know if she would have been able to get it stopped with how hard i was having to press the brakes repeatedly. this happened while in a parking lot in motion, and also while backing into my garage
Brakes randomly become very stiff and hard to push making it nearly impossible to stop the truck. this has happen about 3-4 time over the last 18 months.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the steering icon flashed and a lock indicator displayed. also, the brake light flashed and various unknown warning indicators flickered on the instrument panel. the contact stated that the steering seized when the steering wheel was turned to the left. in addition, the brakes failed to function properly and excessive force had to be applied to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. team lake road auto sales (13988 conneaut lake rd, conneaut lake, pa 16316, (814) 382-9336) was notified of the failures and kept the vehicle for over three weeks. a loaner vehicle was provided. the contact had not received any specific technical guidelines regarding diagnosis and repairs. the dealer released the vehicle back to the owner and the failures recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and a second loaner vehicle was provided; however, the vehicle was returned without being repaired. the dealer indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced before it was purchased per nhtsa campaign number: 17v414000 (steering). the contact informed the dealer several times that the remedy failed, but did not receive any recourse. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: pe18012 (service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). the manufacturer had not issued any brake system recalls for this year, make, and model vehicle and the vin was not included in the four electrical system recalls and two steering recalls. the manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. the failure mileage was not available.
I was pulling into work and brake peddle got stiff then no brakes i was baking into parking spot and concrete wall stopped the truck i took it straight to the dealer and they said vacuum pump and brake booster needed to be replaced a service bulletin was out for it but was not under warranty and it would cost $1000 dollars to fix it 68,000 miles on the truck this happens at 15 mph if someone would have been in front of me it could have killed them
When pumping the break going in reverse or forward slow i lose all braking power and pedal does not push down at all.
I have a 2014 silverado with 60k miles. on sunday, i was pulling into the garage after a short errand and i lost most of the braking power. i was able to stop the truck by pressing the brake pedal hard. i immediately drove backwards and it did the same thing. i restarted the vehicle the issue went away, mind you during all of this the abs light never came on either. searching online i found a bulletin in some rare situations, a customer may comment on a hard brake pedal or that increased effort is needed to depress the brake pedal. while performing normal diagnostics, fluid may be found in the brake booster and/or the booster vacuum line. if engine oil is found, it is important the following parts are replaced. if not, the condition will return. 1. vacuum pump 2. vacuum line between the booster and the pump 3. brake booster 4. master cylinder after finding this and reading all the accounts i feel like gm needs to make this a special coverage. this is 100% safety concern
After driving for any amount of time at a highway speed, the brake pedal is extremely hard to push and the vehicle will continue to roll for several feet at slow speeds, usually under 10 mph. for example, when coming to a stop light or trying to park in a parking lot. very unsafe. i backed into a concrete wall, luckily did not damage my truck. after research, many people have stated it is a defective vacuum pump. poor performance by gm, not to mention the lack of customer service or backing of the bad parts they are putting in vehicles. brakes not working in a vehicle due to a faulty part is unsafe. i'm havjng trouble having gm even admitting it's a problem, and i hope i don't injure or kill myself or somebody else because of this issue. 71000 miles
When in reverse and applying the brake, brake pedal is so hard to push and will not stop vehicle. only happens in reverse. doesn't matter if on incline or on flat. brake pedal cannot be pushed and vehicle still moving in reverse position.
At low speeds in bumper to bumper traffic the brake pedal was extremely hard with maybe a 1/4" of travel. the truck barely stopped had to use the e-brake to assist the vehical to stop. made it over to the shoulder of the freeway. turned the vehical off. got out checked the brakes visually. everything seemed ok. i started the vehical up and with caution tried moving the vehical and every thing was back to normal. three weeks later it did the same thing parking along the curb in front of my house.
When applying brake with motor at idle or close to it. the brake pedal will get hard. i checked vacuum from the separate vacuum pump and only had 9 in hg. it will build and store some vacuum but will also fade as it idles. i replaced the pump and i now have 26 in hg and when parking or doing short maneuvers all is good. i have replaced the pump at a price of $135 and did the work myself.
My brake pedal just got hard. it took was all i could do to stop my truck,thank goodness i was in a 35 mph zone and not at highway speeds. i was on vac and went to local dealer to see what happened. my brake vacuum pump failed & it cost me $504.00 to repair
I attempted to stop the vehicle at a low speed and when i applied the brakes, the brake pedal was rock hard. the truck did not want to stop and took a considerable amount of force on the pedal to get the truck to stop.
Many times the brake pedal is hard when depressed and stopping is very slow. most times it has happened at low speed when approaching stop lights or parking. one time was at over 65mph. have been to 2 dealers and neither can get the issue to repeat or get a code to diagnose. problem happened first at 40k miles and continues now at 60k miles.
Driving 70 miles an hour on the toll road in a booster pump went out and no breaks had to stop manually fortunately there were no cars in front of me i replacing the booster pump the dealer will not respond there advice was for me to buy an extended warranty. 40,000 miles on the truck i bought it in 2015 december a demo at 5000 miles on it and it now has 40,000 miles .this is a very serious problem my uses the truck to commute too work daily had she been driving she would have wrecked the truck
In stop and go traffic or in a parking lot if you are on and off the breaks in a short period of time the break petal will get hard and the breaks go out. ive brought this up to chevrolet corporate and they are already aware of the problem but said i would have to pay out of my own pocket. i feel that this is a saftey concern and that they should have to stand behind their product
Per attached work orders, my brakes were going to the floor in reverse only. they replaced master cylinder and said all fixed. several weeks later happened again so now replaced vacuum & booster pump. that was 2 weeks ago. still working and filed complaint with gm but they said nothing they could do. these have no moving or mechanical parts and should probably never wear out. prior to all this i was getting a report to service electronic trailer brakes but had not hooked up a trailer? when first pointed this out they said could not find anything. second time they replaced electronic switch as "bad". personally i feel it had nothing to do with all the parts replaced and feel strongly that this is electronic and related to the abs braking system electronics or mother board. vehicle was in reverse moving slowly. damaged rear bumper last fail due to unable to stop vehicle. if someone was behind me directing me there is a good chance they could have been crushed or injured seriously. i feel this is a recall waiting to happen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic). when the vehicle was started, the ignition switch seized and failed to release the key while the brake pedal was depressed. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. the failure mileage was 18,000.
I've noticed multiple times when backing up at slow speeds such as backing into a parking space that the brakes are very weak. i've had to apply very hard pressure to the brake peddle to stop and very nearly hit a light pole once. it seems to happen more often in humid or rainy weather. i've had the brakes checked, pads and rotors checked out fine. i also spoke with another silverado owner who noticed the same issue.
While driving my 2014 silverado my brakes became hard to use. i had to push hard with both get to get them to work. then i drove the rest of the way and they where fine until i tried to park and it happened again. i found on a forum that this is a vaccume pump issue that is common in this year.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of power. also, the abs and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. eddy's chevrolet cadillac (8801 e kellogg dr, wichita, ks) diagnosed that the battery was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the contact received notification of the vehicle being involved in a tsb. the vehicle was taken to davis-moore chevrolet (8200 w kellogg dr, wichita, ks) where a software update was performed; however, the failure recurred on six occasions. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the failure mileage was 54,000.
No power brakes. at low speeds vacuum pump does not provide enough vacuum for brakes to work. very hard brake pedal feels like you have no brakes. there is a service bulletin pit5361b when i spoke to chevrolet customer service they told me my truck wasn't covered under this but it clearly is. this is very unsafe and might cause many accidents or deaths
My truck has 43k miles on it. driving it the other day on a city street, i heard a squealing sound, and then the brakes failed. i had to push down really hard to avoid rear ending a car in front of me on my way home. when i got home i could see that the belt powering the vacuum assist pump for the brakes had snapped. so i went to autozone and purchased another one. put it one and started the truck. the squealing was quite loud because the belt was turning, but not the vacuum pump. so i removed the pump and discovered large amounts of metal shards in the oil, which now means i can't drive the truck without risking taking out my engine. this should not be happening on a 3 year old vehicle.
Brake pedal is hard to press in making vehicle hard to stop
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado. while driving various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed and a loud noise could be heard. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a missing brake pad on the front driver side wheel. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was out of warranty. the failure mileage was 46,000.
The truck turned off on me on the freeway and i lost control for a few seconds. had to pay to get it towed to my house because it was at night couldn't take it to the dealer. took it to the dealer after and they said it was my battery . i'm just getting tired of all the issues that gm has. i'm getting frustrated of taking my truck in for recalls every other month! can some one help i'm trying to get my money back .
Very very hard brake peddle at low speeds. i have been told the vacuum pump needs replaced. the vehicle had less than 50,000 miles.
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.
