Brakes on my 2001 chevy silverado have never been very good. They have degraded to the point that the vehicle can not reliably stop with reasonable braking distances. Many near accidents have happened and one crash where brakes could have contributed to the accident. The brakes have been serviced with pad replacement, rotors machined/replaced brakes bled, master cylinder replaced and nothing has made the brakes function well. Please note the incident date can be looked up but this is an estimated date reported here.

While driving woud step on brake pedal and could heard air coming from the brakes. Problem had been with the master cylinder .

Brakes: when driving at low speed and applying the brakes, pushed pedal completely to the floor and the brakes did not hold. Had vehicle in for repairs, and dealer couldn't find any problem with the vehicle. Had new brakes and a master cylinder replaced, and the vehicle still does not stop when applying the brakes.
