Breaks will not catch . As I'm driving and trying to stop the truck will keep rolling . This is even when driving slow . The break pedal is hard . And will not stop. I took truck in for a recall on the break system but the light sensor is still on and breaks will not catch. This is going forward backward parked or going to light . Has been happening off and on for a month.
My complaint or safety notice is that on August 12 2018 the brake pedal on my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 began compressing a short distance and then became extremely hard, the vehicle is by all physical means nearly impossible to stop even at a very slow speed. I had my truck towed to my dealer believing it was not safe to drive, and was advised that the "brake system vacuum pump and booster had failed due to internal contamination. There is no warning in the vehicle sensing system to advise the operator to have the brakes serviced for this issue. Chevrolet issued a technical service bulletin (TSB #pit5361a & #pit5361b) in 2016. Obviously they are aware of the problem. Mine brakes failed after just pulling in my driveway from a 600 mile trip. Had this happened at highway speed, I would have likely been injured or killed, as would any vehicle occupants in a car I could have potentially hit. I have researched the problem online, and there are an endless amount of complaints posted for this exact problem. Unfortunately there has been no recall that I can find. It will cost me $1626 for the repair, I assume the replacement parts are the same type that failed. Undoubtedly someone is going to be seriously injured or killed, there are individuals and families driving around as I write this complaint that are unaware their brakes might fail the next moment they need them. Ask yourself if this has already caused serious injury or death, but the failure perhaps could not be pinpointed due to the damage of the crash, remember there is no sensor or warning for this issue being logged into the cars computer system. Odds are this has already caused harm. I'm asking that a recall be implemented and a safety warning be immediately released for vehicles that have this design flaw in the braking system. Your immediate intervention could save a life.
My truck has been modififed by either a powerful entity or by the dealership itself at the direction of a powerful entity. Truck has so many problems. I bought from same dealership out of show room and trusted them. After accident, air bags did not deploy and I couldnt figure out why. See burn marks around edges of airbags along with conductive string sew into them. Also noticed extra conductors added along with extra insulator layer. Cigarette outlets all manipulated after replaced with higher output plugs. Also found air bag sensors which are discontinuted as they belong to trucks from 2007-2009. Frame is for a 1ton truck which has beengreased front to back. Axels are clearly older and are labeled for a ck2500 (1 tom) model drive shaft and many other components have markings throughout to establish path of least resistance to guide short of electricity to driver to shock me. Modles modfified to gain access to truck. I am lucky to be alive. You guys have to see this truck in person. Way too uch to list. Dealership had it long time to do repairs. When taken back to them to figure out hwy the loud shakes, the dealershp certified shop tech stated everything is perfectl normal. That wa s a lie. Eewwdduuuuuuuuuuuuuefu.
