This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Having problems with braking at slow speeds, pedal sticks to the floor when reversing into parking space or pulling up in drive thru lines at slow speeds etc.. no problems braking at regular speeds.
2015 Chevy Silverado, 62,300 miles. While driving at highway speeds. The air condition compessor locked up. Causing the engine to die and causing the loss of power steering and power brakes. I was unable to brake in a timely manner and had to swerve to avoid stopped traffic. It seems there are thousands complaining of the same issue online. There was no warning. I have contacted the dealer and they say there is no recall.
Service trailer brake system alert is going off constantly during driving the vehicle. I was not towing anything and have only ever towed something one time with this truck. The alert produces a chime and flashes the alert over the speedometer screen.
steering and braking stops working during low speed. AC stops working and several components flash a warning message Trailer hitch and stabilizer and engine light appears sporadically. It shows that I do not have recalls but I believe the repairs in the past were not done correctly. old software or a electrical short from an faulty part!!!!!
The vehicle is experiencing a low speed brake failure where the brakes either pulse like ABS brakes or there is no brake at all and you have to push hard to the floor to get brakes. I have seen some reviews that say this was a recall but I did not find anything on your site and I have not received a notice.
Slow speed braking is severely affected upon engagement, such as backing out of my driveway, or maneuvering into a parking spot. The brake pedal will pulse as if the ABS system is activating, however, upon reaching/ keeping idle speed, the brake pedal will become very rigid and the pedal is very hard to compress downward. Once the vehicle is stopped, and power is applied again with the gas pedal, normal braking is restored.
The service trailer brake system alarm goes off constantly while driving when trailer is not attached to vehicle. You can dismiss the warning but the alarm comes back. It-??s a loud audible beeping that takes your eyes off the road.
On an interstate offramp facing downhill moving at a slower speed 15mph or slower, application of brakes resulted in a brake pedal that could only be depressed about an inch (outside of normal function). Braking distance and response was drastically reduced. Decreased braking performance was experienced shortly after while reversing into a parking spot at low speed (1 mph), almost hitting a concrete wall in an underground parking garage. Vehicle is being inspected by a Chevrolet dealer Service department
The truck would take off on its own. The steering column would lock up, and the brakes would fail. The transmission is currently slipping an d these are just a few thing that are/have happened.
When going at low speed, power braking fails, and I have almost crashed my truck several times. Also - when going at low speeds, my electronic power steering fails - it's difficult to turn and the steering wheel "kicks back" in my hands. Extremely difficult to turn. I'm very concerned that these two things will lead to a crash/accident. Please help! The approximate date listed is the last time these two issues occurred - but it occurs almost every time I drive the vehicle.
At low speeds the vehicle does not come to a complete stop. The brakes don-??t fully engage and after the pedal is compressed down the vehicle drives forward and in reverse for a few feet.
Trying to park in a parking space at grocery store. Put truck in reverse to straighten up my parking job and felt like I had no power brakes. Had to really step on the brakes to get it to stop. Put the truck in drive and went forward and felt the same sensation: almost no braking. Almost had to stand on the brakes to get the truck stopped. After I turned the truck off, shopped and came back, there was no issue. I took the truck to a mechanic who could find no issue with brake pads, rotors or fluid. The same situation happened again a couple of weeks later. I checked brake fluid and there was plenty. It seems to occur at low speeds and resolves if I turn the vehicle off and let it sit for several minutes. I don't have confidence in the braking system now of my 2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71. I have 103K miles on it and have regular maintenance records to include any recall notifications. I never received any recall info on braking issues.
My truck lost brake vacuum assist on Saturday 1/29/2022, it happened 7-8 times at engine idle speed while parking. I'm a 230 lb man and had a difficult time stopping the truck. This is a known issue, I've already had a recall performed on the truck for this issue, I believe the recall is NHTSA Campaign Number 19V645000. It's my belief that there is a flaw in the vacuum pump design, Chevrolet has tried to address this issue by reprogramming the software but that hasn't solved the problem. I believe this was a effort to address the issue while avoiding financial loss for Chevrolet. This is dangerous and I'm not going to put another pump on the vehicle, it won't fix the problem because it's a design issue. GM can either fix the truck or give me a truck that will stop. This truck has been a nightmare, I could go on about loss of power steering and complete loss of electrical power (apparently these are known recall issues for the same truck design, but my specific truck doesn't fall under that recall), but for now I'd simply like the company to be held accountable for the brake issue. Please help force GM to address this issue before some else is injured. Also, this has caused me to lose control of my vehicle and hit a post in the a parking lot, this could have been a person, luckily it wasn't.
