Backing up from my driveway, my brakes fail. The brake pedal was very hard, I had to pressed multiple times until vehicle came to a stop. It was a very scary moment almost rear ended car park on the street. I purchased this vehicle on 12/24/2021 From Antelope Valley Chevy in Lancaster Ca. Same day of the incident. 2017 Silverado. I try contacting the dealer but they-??ve close already due to the holiday. Please help!

I was in a drive thru yesterday and couldn-??t stop. I was traveling less than 5 mph, and the brake pedal was extremely stiff, I had to pump the brakes several times in order to stop the truck. At one point I had to place the truck in park in order to keep the truck from moving because the brake pedal wouldn-??t hold the truck still. It happened a few more times on my way home in slow traffic. I almost crashed once.

I picked up my truck from the dealership after repairs due to an impact with a deer. The vehicle was at the dealership for three weeks. After traveling less than three (3) miles, from the dealership, the brakes did not work properly/issue with the brake pedal and stopping. I was able to avoid an accident but had to park the truck and have it towed back to the dealership. Upon inspection, the dealership advised that the vacuum pump needed to be replaced. I know there is a recall for this part for the Chevy Silverado but my VIN shows no recall so I am reporting this issue for my VIN and hopefully this information can help another truck owner avoid an accident or injury. In the event the recall is expanded to our Silverado model we would request reimbursement for the expense to replace the defective part. I have also contacted GM directly to report this issue and they are going to follow up with me regarding the matter.

on or around august 13, 2021 this vehicle was brought to triangle chevrolet in defuniak springs fl. for a recall on a loss of power assist braking. in the last 3 weeks or so i have had a loss of power braking at low speed drastically increasing stopping distance while also putting a tremendous amount of effort on the brake pedal, 2 times while going through fast food drive through, 1 time while manuvering around a gas pump to get gas. it acts like there is a loss of vacuum assist, and sometimes there is some vibration in the brake pedal as it the antilock brake system is activating. did triangle chevrolet actually perform the recall" if so, did they do it correctly", if they did, what is the remedy for this

Brake pedal is stiff when braking at highway speeds. At low speeds, brake feels as if the anti lock braking system is activated (grinding/slight vibration). In reverse, brake will go to the floor and not immediately stop vehicle. The pedal grinds like the ABS is activated, however, no pulsing action. In addition, a trailer braking warning light registered.. I do not tow with this vehicle!! This vehicle has not been to an authorized dealer for maintenance as of this message. Vehicle has 40k miles registered.

The service brake assist came on and the brakes are acting funny at lower speeds. I see there was a recall for this very problem.

- Livingston , MT, USA

Trailer brakes quit working, message displays service trailer brake system. Dealer did a diagnostic with scanner and could get no response. They say probably broken wire somewhere in system. Vehicle is still like new, low mileage. Dangerous having no trailer brakes could cause accident.

I had driven to work. While backing into a parking space at idle speed the brake pedal would not depress. It was hard as a rock. I nearly hit the building but was slowly backing up slightly up hill so my truck stopped on its own. I never had an issue with the brakes before this. later in the same morning I drove my truck to the local dealership a few miles up the road and had no braking issues while driving there. Rather terrifying suddenly having no brakes!

My vehicles trailer breaking system keeps activating cause the brakes to activate. Additionally, it is activating my stabilitrak system and turns the vehicle off and on. These issues coralate with recall #19V761000.

Brakes are hard to push and stutter at low speeds. I need to push hard on pedal to initiate the brake system.

I purchased a certified pre-owned 2017 Chevy Silverado on February 1st of this year, and over the last 4 months have put only 5,000 miles on it. On June 20th, on my way back from a 10-hour trip, where I was towing a trailer with a car on it, my trailer brakes suddenly stopped functioning (about 4 hours from home). Not only did the trailer brakes stop functioning, but a warning message popped up on the dashboard "service trailer brake system". But this warning message didn't pop up just one time, it kept coming again and again and again and again and again, relentlessly chiming and distracting me from driving, it covered my speedometer readout, it prevented me from receiving or making voice commands, prevented me from hearing phone calls, and prevented me from listening to music. The service warning chime also prevented the turn signal chime from functioning. So for a full 4 hours, I was constantly reminded with a service trailer brake system chime, was unable to hear my turn signal chime, was unable to listen to music or make a phone call, and was unable to see the digital readout of my speed. The vehicle had been rendered completely undrivable, and I absolutely will not hesitate to say that the vehicle was not safe to drive in that condition. Especially if you consider that I was towing 5,000 lbs with no working trailer brakes. GM's defective wire harness endangered my life. Consumer stated wire harness has not been replaced and manufacture refused to honor CPO warranty.

Brakes are delayed and have a slipping feeling at times. Lights flash and wheel locks up, unknown problem, when vehicle is shut down and restarted problem resolves. Vehicle will not start due to electrical problem. researched and found safety recalls precisely for the problems I am having on other models, my truck needs to be included in those recalls.

...Decreased service brake: intermittent vehicle vibration throughout vehicle and decreased brake performance with brake pedal application. Vehicle has approximately 21,400 miles, purchased new, operates in the rochester ny rust belt area. Inquired at dealer of problem, was informed GM does not cover brake "maintenance" items. Upon inspection, considerable deterioration, due to rust, was noted on said vehicles 4 brake rotors along with loss of inner brake pad surface area of rotors. Upon completion of 4 wheel brake pad, rotor and hardware replacement, at the cost to myself, to date, brake performance is back to "as new" with no noticeable vibration at this time....vjd....(pics available, upon request, of rotors)

On 10/26/2019, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado was being driven in heavy traffic on the 134/210 Freeway area of Glendale, California. The truck was going 10 mph, and when the driver went to stop, the brake petal pressed to the floor, resulting in a rear end collision with the car in front of it. The driver of the first car appeared uninjured, but filed a claim later that he had ongoing lower back issues. The brake light only went on after the incident. The truck was driven to a local Chevrolet dealer and the brakes were serviced a few days later. The vacuum pump was the reason why the truck did not stop. It is notated on paperwork and confirmed when speaking to the Service Manager on Friday, November 1st at 4:30 pm. The service manager also reported there was now a recall to fix the problem, so it would be fixed and a new vacuum pump would be put in (Vacuum Pump Replacement Special Coverage N182198000). A claim was filed with GMC to pay for the damage and take over the insurance claim made by the owner of the truck, as well as the car in front of it. GMC came out to the Chevrolet dealer during that time, and GMC reported to the owner that they would not help with fixing the vehicle or the insurance claims. The owner requested the final report three times and there was no response. The truck had been reported to multiple service providers that there were issues with the stopping of the brakes in 2019. It was requested by the owner that the brakes were inspected so that they could be replaced if needed. There was also an incident in July 2019 where front and rear brakes were interchanged on the paperwork and the owner of the truck was told that it was just a paperwork mix up because they "fixed the brakes that were bad."

Brakes give out at slow speeds such as parking Lots are traffic. The truck started giving me problems one day in a parking lot the breaks went straight to the floor and the truck shook and it was weird and the truck barley stopped and I put it in park. I started to drive again and at fast speeds the brakes seemed fine.. but then it-??s happened multiple times for me now in traffic and in parking lots and it-??s not safe at all I-??ve bought new rotors all new brakes pads and even changed the brake booster and main cylinder all through Midas and it still has done it to me again.

When reversing slowly the brake pedal becomes had to push to stop usually after pushing it more than one time.

- Pleasant Garden, NC, USA

It is very hard to stop the truck at low speeds (1-5mph). The brake pedal is very hard to push and does not stop the vehicle without considerable pressure being applied. It has happened twice within the past week while attempting to park. Thankfully, we were in a parking lot, but it could cause a significant issue while approaching a stoplight or other traffic situation. After reading, it appears that GM has known about the issue for some time, but I don't see a recall associated with the vehicle. I have owned it since new.
