Two problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was involved in an injury accident. I had to make a panic stop in heavy traffic. There was no resistance to the brake pedal. The officers asked, if I had applied the brakes, beacause there were no skid marks. I feel the brakes failed because no skid mark and the seat belts didn't lock. I work for the statehighway patrol. We have several 1998 and 1999 full size Chevrolet silverdo trucks. Several officers operating these vehicle have experience brake failure in a "panic stop situation. I'm asking to see,if your organization has information about the brakes and to send the complaint.
Brakes failed. When stopping brakes made a hissing ( like air releasing ).
