The vacuum pump had a complete failure, producing no vacuum pressure to the break assist. The recall suggesting the recalibration of the electronic brake control had been completed months prior. This resulted in similar symptoms, vibration in the break and a hard brake pedal. Once it completely failed, the pedal became extremely stiff and stopping was very difficult. Initially, the pedal vibration was noticed at slower speeds. When the pump failed, the vehicle was in motion on an off ramp coming up to a stop sign. It took almost standing on the break pedal to come to a complete stop. The vehicle has less than 72,000 miles on it.

Driving down the highway, while coming up to traffic and coming to a stop, the brake pedal became rock hard and made it difficult to slow down or stop in time. In an attempt to stop the vehicle from crashing into the rear of the other other vehicles, I swerved to the right to avoid them and side swiped a guardrail. My vehicle now has body damaged on the passenger side. It has been dropped off at concord Chevrolet in concord, California. I also filed a claim with my insurance as well as General Motors.
My truck tends to mimic the 19V761 recall of 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado with the 5.3L engine and 3.08 rear axle. However, my vehicle is the 4.3L on occasion, my truck will pull to the left or right unintentionally due to the brakes being used out of my control. I'm particularly lose control of the vehicle every 2-3 seconds while this is happening. The defect also happens more often while traveling above 35 mph and downhill. Most recently during a snow storm in 4WD. The 'episode' usually lasts until I restart the vehicle. If it resolves before I restart it does so viciously, and steering wheel corrects itself while vehicle is moving. I've been to dealership and have been told there's not a recall for VIN number.

Received a recall notice about brakes, stating as the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module, free of charge. I have done this and the problem still exists, especially when driving at slower speeds...I believe replacing the vacuum pump would cure the problem and believe this should be a recall to replace such. Not to just reprogram the computer. I have had numerous close calls and feel this is a very big safety issue and a major concern. Thanks for your time!
