This has happened with my 2015 Tahoe. While traveling in the Western US and Mexico this summer, I experienced a hard brake pedal at slow speeds three times. Twice I was in a drive thru line and could barely stop my vehicle before hitting the car in front of me. The weather was hot 110-115 in Arizona, so I thought maybe is was heat related. I also wondered if it was caused by having a GM Dealer perform a Brake Flush in August 2018.
Then when I was in Pueblo, CO I experienced the issue a third time while pulling up to the gas pump at the Sam's club in Pueblo. The temp was 100 that day. After returning to my Texas home, I did an internet search only to find this to be a known issue with GM K5 based vehicles. Doing more research I see there is a limited recall on the problem, but my Tahoe with 78,369 miles on it does not qualify for the GM covered repair.
In further searching on the web, I find out the the problem is with the Vacuum Pump and that part has been redesigned, so the new Vacuum Pump the you purchase using the same part number looks different because of the KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM IS FIXING THE PART UNDER THE COVERS, BUT WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OVER A CERTAIN TIME/MILEAGE PERIOD...EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS THEIR ISSUE! Besides, this has been known for YEARS! So GM drags its feet long enough, then vehicles are excluded from the repair and GM saves the cost of the repair. That is just not right!
