My silverado has around 56k miles. Two days ago the issue with the brake pedal falling to the floor started. This is at low speeds and especially after using the brakes a few times. This is not the abs kicking in. I was a service manager for ford for years and it feels like when a brake booster goes bad. Vehicle was dropped off at fx caprara chevrolet in pulaski ny this morning for diagnosis as the vehicle is not…

Applying the brakes requires excessive force to bring the vehicle to a stop. Chevrolet dealership diagnosed a damaged/faulty vacuum pump as the cause of the issue. This nearly caused an accident with another driver when attempting to stop on a city street in williamsburg, va at a red light.

Brakes are failing at low speeds. From other reports it seems to be the brake vacuum pump. While driving in stop and go traffic, i nearly rear ended the vehicle in front of me. The brake pedal would not move no matter how hard i pressed. This happened again backing out of my driveway and only the curb across the street stopped the vehicle.

After driving extensively through several towns, cities and on highways, the brakes went out as we turned into our driveway. Harold chevrolet (dealer and service) replaced master cylinder, brake booster, vacuum pump and hose because the vacuum pump leaked internally into brake booster. ($1638.86) this is very concerning because according to the newspaper, you are aware but have failed to warn owners. Injury and loss…

Pedal feel returns to normal after driving a short distance but the issue returns after a series of brake pedal applications in a short time span.

Drove 35 miles. Stopped ok. Backed up about 5 mph. Brake pedal would only push down about one quarter inch with no braking action. Pressed as hard as possible and got slight braking. We had it repaired at a shop and they said it was a vacuum pump and a sensor that had gone bad.

Now it's everytime i try to brake while driving. Every once in awhile it will happen when i am stationary. When it first happened a little over a week ago i almost hit another vehicle in front of me while i was coming to a stop…

At 61k miles, when backing up slowly, generally into a parking space, the brakes freeze. Only after pumping them or putting the truck in park, do the brakes compress again. This has happened at lease 4 times in the passed 2 weeks.

After driving for long periods, the power brakes become inoperative when driving slowly. This first happened about one year ago. I was puzzled. It did not happen again until now. It is becoming more frequent. This is very serious. I believe there should be a recall.

Brakes became hard to push and truck wouldn't stop. It started off when backing into a parking spot and then driving forward slowly. That was last fall. Now the brakes are hard to depress all the time, and sometimes have to use both feet. Brought it to mechanic shop and it is the brake vacuum pump.

On two separate occasions while traveling at low speed, my brake pedal became hard and would not function normally. After using a great deal of force on the brake pedal i was able to stop the vehicle but exceeded the distance at which i was trying to stop within. Thankfully a collision did not occur and there was no harm to anyone.
