The abs system failed when braking on a snowy, icy, slippery road locking all four wheels causing the vehicle to skid out of control. the brake light and abs light and tcs icon were displayed. the brakes had to be released to regain steering control and judicious use of manual braking eventually brought the vehicle to a stop. the abs pump motor was noted running continuously even with the engine off. onstar diagnostics indicated a traction control system error. this braking failure occurred in conditions that the abs is specifically designed to prevent loss of control!
I picked my truck up from the local dealer after having recall n192268490 repaired. the hard pedal issue is now worse than before. the first time you push the brake pedal it feels ok but the second time it has little to no power assist and don't try for a third. by the third try the pedal is rock solid and you end up backing into your tractor under the shelter. so it's back to the dealer in the morning
When braking and vehicle is slowing to a stop engine speeds up just before stopping and vehicle surges forward necessitating increased pressure on brake pedal. happens every time vehicle is coming to a stop. extremely disconcerting proceeding down a steep hill.
Brake peddle pushed back at me when trying to stop. truck failed to slow down resulting in an accident. * (recall related incident) ts

Fuel injector or fuel pump does not work properly. on two (2) different occasions, months apart, my engine has lost power and the vehicle stalled. both times at low speeds 10 - 15 mph and low rpms. this has nearly caused me to crash into one vehicle and for another to almost hit me from behind as my car died while making a right hand turn off a busy road. i have had the vehicle towed in twice, but the dealership and gm both say unless they can duplicate the issue they will not fix or replace anything. this vehicle is unsafe and needs to be recalled/reviewed. on top of this, they had to replace the vacuum pump for the brakes and do a software patch update because the backup camera was dangerously bright, especially at night. the camera issue took 2 visits to 2 different dealerships to get resolved. gm is playing the numbers game of hoping for a fine instead of paying to replace any parts. especially since they are dealing with a pr battle about making cars outside of the usa. they took the bailout money and screwed americans.
2017 chevrolet silverado. consumer writes in regards to dic service brake assist safety recall. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle was involved in accident due to a break failure. the break pedal became difficult to depress. *js
Backing up my truck, at slow speed down a boat ramp, my brake pedal authority went to zero. i had no brakes during backing my boat in gulf of mexico. i had to stand on pedal with all of my weight just to slow it long enough so i could put on parking brake. i called dealer to inquire if this was a problem, and they said i had to wait two weeks to even get it in there to look at it. unacceptable. loss of braking can kill occupants in these vehicles. in my case, i would have been under water and possibly drowned.
No brakes at low speed and a hard pedal. possibly vacuum pump failure.
When traveling at low speeds the braking system fails. the brake pedal is not responsive. you must apply maximum force to try and stop the vehicle. i was parallel parking and hit a mailbox causing damage to my rear right fender because the truck did not stop properly. i had the truck checked and they old me it was a faulty vaccum pump. this seems to be an ongoing issue with this model truck.
My wife took the service recall letter from the manufacturer and the dealership (santa fe chevrolet/cadillac in santa fe, new mexico) informed my wife that since my vehicle has 70,00 miles they would not service the recall for free and instead would charge us $960 dollars. subsequently we have not been able to use the vehicle in over six weeks. this is simply untenable. please help us as it is unsafe to operate this vehicle. the service advisor that my wife spoke with when taking the vehicle in is [xxx] on may 24, 2019. i have repeatedly tried to get the general manager to help me remedy this situation. his name is [xxx]. this is the closest dealership and the same which we purchased this vehicle in 2017. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Received a letter from chevrolet advising of a potential problem with brakes, increased brake pedal pressure and stopping distance. went to dealer and was informed i would have to pay to have a diagnostic performed at my expense to determine problem. chevrolet corporate informed me this was correct. my complaint is why am i being charged this when chevrolet knows they have a problem , that is potentially dangerous.
Brakes not effective when stopping at low speeds. dealership repaired, stated it was a known problem but not a recall and a vacuum assist issue. i was involved in a traffic collision at low speed on the interstate. abs did not engage and i was unable to stop colliding with the vehicle in front of me.
Loss of brakes when backing up. on multiple occasions, when i applied the brakes during low speed reverse or when backing down an incline, the brakes became very hard to depress and did not stop the vehicle down until i exerted considerable force with both legs. this has happened both when reversing with a trailer and when reversing without a trailer. the most recent incident occurred on may 17, 2019 when backing a boat and trailer down an incline at a boat launch ramp. i was able to stop the vehicle before it entered the water, but it took considerable force on the brake pedal. i alerted the dealership, kolar chevrolet duluth, of this safety issue twice in 2018 and again most recently on may 23, 2019. the dealership was unable to duplicate the problem and stated they would not take further action unless they were able to duplicate the issue.
As i was approaching a stop sign break did not kick in fully until about 6 feet from where i initially activated break. vehicle was in motion in public street.
Loss of braking in stop and go traffic. vehicle brakes are extremely difficult to press in slow moving stop and go traffic. the abs seems to kick in but the vehicle continues to roll forward. speed would be around 10 mph. braking is ok at normal highway speeds but losing ablility to brake at low speed. near miss on rear ending several vehicles.
Braking issue causing rear-end collision at low speed on highway in rush hour traffic. increased stopping distance, increased brake pedal effort.
While parking in my work lot at low speed, my pedal became very stiff and vehicle was very hard to stop. this problem repeated the same day in my driveway at home. while researching online i learned about the failures of brake vacuum pump. purchased and changed mine myself.
One morning when i got to work i was backing in my parking space, when my brakes got hard to the point that i could not press them. it was to the point that my truck would not stop unless i used both feet with heavy pressure. if i was driving i would have never stopped that truck. i was just outside my warranty with 39000 miles on the truck. i had it towed to the dealership and they told me that i had to replace my vacuum pump.
My brakes failed to stop my vehicle at slow speeds and while i was at a decline and almost caused me to rear end another vehicle. the brake pedal got extremely hard and would not allow me to press down on it.
I pulled into crowded parking lot in the rain & couldn't stop my truck. i used both feet to press brake as hard as i could & got truck stopped. brake pedal was very hard to press and had to pump brake about 3 times to get stopped. truck was fine for next 3 days & then it happened on interstate at 75 mph. i was pulling a trailer & the only way i got truck stopped was to use manually press trailer brake mechanism inside truck. it really scaredme as i had my kids in truck with me and valuable livestock in trailer. at dealership now getting it checked out. i'm over 36,000 warranty but under 60,000.
Tl* the contact owns 2017 chevrolet crew cab. the contact stated while driving about 5 mph and the contact stated it was difficult to depress the brake pedal. mo indicator light illuminated before the failure. the dealer was taken to payne chevrolet buick gmc 2229 e expressway 83, weslaco, tx 78599 were the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. the approximate failure mileage 16,000.
When pulling into a parking space the brakes became really hard to push and took longer for brakes to apply to stop the vehicle. took the truck to mk smith chevrolet in chino, ca and they diagnosed the issue as a faulty vacuum brake pump and replaced it since it was under manufacturer warranty.
Hard unresponsive brakes at low speeds.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that the service brake warning indicator illuminated and the trailer brakes failed to work. the vehicle was taken to star chevrolet (5200 us-30 c, greensburg, pa 15601) where the failure code was erased and the brakes returned to normal; however, the failure recurred approximately five times. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 18,707.
For no apparent reason the stabilitrack service indicator will activate in a variety of settings, ie low speed on a road, high speed on an interstate, parked in a parking, etc. i have taken the vehicle to our local gmc dealer and they are unable to replicate the issue or locate a code that is occurring when this warning indicator activates; this occurred last week and as recently as this morning while i was driving to work
Brakes failed when driving slowly in both forward and reverse. this occurred following a period of extensive highway driving. brake pedal was extremely hard to push and resulted in no braking of vehicle. no trailer towing was involved.
When we first bought the vehicle we received the error message: antilock brakes & stabilitrak problems & wheel vibrated terribly. took it in, they said it was the computer and fixed it. this morning error re: anti lock brake problem and no brake fluid (put in a whole can) and error traction off (but we did not turn it off) this is a new vehicle and we could get killed or kill another if there is a brake failure. this should be a recall and gm should buy back the vehicle from us. thank you for any help you can give us. *tr

Brakes become hard apply and will not stop. had to utilize the emergency brakes to avoid a collision.
Hard brake pedal. loss of all power assistance. 2017 chevy 1500 34k first did it highway speed then i got it to repeat at slow speed multiple times. it would lose all brakes after two or three light applications of the brakes. very unsafe i almost rear ended some one i'm fairly strong it took both feet pushing as hard as i could to slow vehicle and whip around car to avoid if my wife or son would have been driving it very different out come than a trip to chevy
