When trying to stop from a coast, in reverse or moving forward the vehicle is very hard to stop, brake pedal will not push down. I was told the brake booster was faulty and needed to be replaced, other people with this vehicle have had the same issue. First happened in school pick up line could have easily hit a child or another vehicle.

Vacuum booster went completely bad at 49,000 miles there is no safety recall on this issue and this can cause your brakes to not work, makes them extremely hard to push exerting all your strength to get the breaks to work. The first time this happened was weeks ago at a stop light when the breaks quit working, I nearly hit the car in front of me. I took it immediately to les scwab and they said the vacuum booster was out and to take it to the dealer. GM informed me that it's not covered under the warranty. I had to pay out of my pocket to fix and issue that several people have reported and I joined a class action lawsuit with other owners of 2015-2016 Chevy Suburban all with under 50K miles some had this issue at 20K miles. GM is aware of the issue and continues to do nothing about the problem putting peoples lives in danger everyday.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. Also, the brakes failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle stalled. The failure recurred two more times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
