On 09/27/19 while driving my vehicle home from dinner with my children my brakes went out completely close to a mile from our home. The vehicle was in motion while this happened and we were on a highway. Significant force had to be exerted on the brake pedal to force the truck to slowly come to a stop. Had we been in heavier traffic there is no doubt that this brake vacuum pump failure would have resulted in a crash involving other vehicles. When I contacted the dealership, richard kay superstore in anderson SC, they stated their was a recall for a re-calibration of the braking system that if left unchecked could cause a failure of the vacuum pump. At the time the vehicle was three years old and the recall was issued 25 days prior to my incident. The total cost to repair the vacuum pump was $705.96. I am very disappointed that Chevrolet has not recalled the vacuum pump assembly. It is clear to me that the calibration failure is causing these pumps to wear out too quickly... or the pump themselves may actually be faulty as well. Regardless, the calibration should be required as well as a replacement of the vacuum pump at no charge to the consumer. This will prevent injury and potentially the loss of life.

First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note I have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds.starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so I started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work I got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.

Low speed brake hesitation. Almost feels like the antilock brakes are engaging and now allowing the vehicle to stop. Only occurs at low speed. Normal and high speed braking is fine. Recall work for the brake pressure assist completed 3 weeks ago but problem still persists and feels to have gotten worse since the work was done.

Brake pedal becomes very hard to push at low speed, almost unable to stop the truck most times. Happens on a daily basis

- Carrollton, OH, USA

Brakes become very difficult to depress after 2-3 depressions of the pedal. Happens mostly in parking lots and stop/go traffic. Driver must apply great pressure to slow/stop vehicle.

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

Driving around parking lots or stuck in traffic going slow and having to press the brake pedal frequently the pedal will go very hard and takes both feet to press down on it and basically have no brakes. I have I to pull over or stop and shut the truck off and sit for a min then restart and I get my brakes back. I think it has something to do with the vacuum assist pump not working correctly. I have not taken in to the shop yet cause I'm out of the bumper to bumper warranty

- Macon, GA, USA

Reoccurring braking problems at low speeds whenever pressure is applied to the brake in quick succession (ie bumper to bumper traffic) the brake pedal becomes harder/stiffer to press and applies little to no brake without excessive force. I have only noticed this braking problem at low speeds because of the conditions that cause the problem. This happens when the vehicle is driving straight as well as turning. The vehicle also make a sound as if the ABS system is activating and the brake pedal feels as though the ABS system is activating. No lights illuminated on the dashboard during the braking. My vehicle only has about 50K miles. The vehicle was also bought from a certified Chevrolet dealer
