After driving extensively through several towns, cities and on highways, the brakes went out as we turned into our driveway. Harold Chevrolet (dealer and service) replaced master cylinder, brake booster, vacuum pump and hose because the vacuum pump leaked internally into brake booster. ($1638. 86) this is very concerning because according to the newspaper, you are aware but have failed to warn owners. Injury and loss of life is a real possibility. I use this truck to back my boat into the lake several times a week. If the brakes had failed, I do not think I could have survived with my age (73) and disability (neuropathy of feet and legs. )this really stresses me.
Per attached work orders, my brakes were going to the floor in reverse only. They replaced master cylinder and said all fixed. Several weeks later happened again so now replaced vacuum & booster pump. That was 2 weeks ago. Still working and filed complaint with gm but they said nothing they could do. These have no moving or mechanical parts and should probably never wear out. Prior to all this I was getting a report to service electronic trailer brakes but had not hooked up a trailer? when first pointed this out they said could not find anything. Second time they replaced electronic switch as "bad". Personally I feel it had nothing to do with all the parts replaced and feel strongly that this is electronic and related to the abs braking system electronics or mother board. Vehicle was in reverse moving slowly. Damaged rear bumper last fail due to unable to stop vehicle. If someone was behind me directing me there is a good chance they could have been crushed or injured seriously. I feel this is a recall waiting to happen.
