Brake system fails at low idle speed. When truck is put in gear the brake pedal becomes stiff and vehicle cannot stop. Brake pedal also does this in stop and go traffic. Chevrolet says this is not a safety issue. How is this not a safety issue? The problem is a mechanical pump called a power brake booster pump. We were told this can be replaced for $1100 and is not a warranted part. The only way to keep brake…

In december 2018 while in a parking lot at low speed, brakes were applied. Brake pedal went about halfway then became "hard." there was no braking power and brakes would not work. This was associated with a "clicking" noise. When car rolled to a stop i started moving again and reapplied the brakes. Same result both in forward and reverse. This happened again in a parking lot on april 11, 2017. My vehicle currently…

Also the voltage meter drops and i lose dash board lights.this happens while the vehicle…

While driving my family, i lost over 90% of my stopping power while exiting the highway on an off ramp. Luckily it happened when i had already slowed down off the ramp to get off the highway (and not just moments before while on the highway). After extreme caution and smart use of down-shifting and the emergency brake, i was able to slowly navigate into a parking lot that was really close to where the incident first…

Brake pedal becomes unresponsive and soft at times, and other times feels like the brakes are not releasing all the way making it pull left/right randomly and very hard to control. Occasionally the abs activates while not moving/parked just by by holding brake pedal. Also found oil of some kind in brake fluid during routine flush. Vacuum pump makes quite a bit of noise.

Brakes suddenly required much more effort to work. Happens frequently when applying brakes at low speeds, and occasionally when applied intermittently while slowing from 50-80mph. Examples of when this frequently occurs are: entering parking spaces, stop and go traffic, approaching toll booths on highways, descending hills, and any situation where brakes are applied and released repeatedly over a short period of…

I applied the brakes firmly for a car stopping short unexpectedly on the highway. I released the brake for a second or two to allow room for the car behind me to stop in time. When i reapplied the brake the second time, there was little to no braking action. The pedal did not more and did not travel all the way to the floor. There was no power assist. I was able to recreate the problem later at low speed when there…
