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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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…
