While driving at low speed the brakes failed to stop and i nearly ran over a lady. Then after parking i went to leave and i almost baked into someone because the brakes again failed. Local dealer said that the vacuum pump is know to just go out randomly. This should be a recall seeing as to how it is sketchy and could get someone killed.

At very low speeds the brake peddle becomes very hard and will not stop the vehicle. It is very intermittent and once the vehicle is shut off and started again the brakes will perform like normal. It seems to happen while parking or in stop and go traffic.

At different times when attempting to park the truck, the brake pedal becomes very stiff (hard). I had to apply both feet to the brake pedal to stop the truck. This occurred twice in the past month. Contacted gm and was told that there is no recalls on this issue. I checked the internet and discovered that other silverado and sierra owners are having the same problem . There needs to be a recall before someone is…

Brakes became hard to push down and could barely stop. Luckily i was backing into a parking space at work and the sidewalk ledge stopped me. Now when i try to stop the brakes will only push down about an inch then are almost impossible to push down to stop. From what i read online the problem is likely the vacuum pump.

At low speeds, the brake pedal becomes hard/impossible to press and does not slow down the truck. It feels as if i have no control over stopping the vehicle. This seems to be happening to a lot of owners of these trucks according to what i am seeing while researching the issue.
