While at a chevy dealer to have a recall (17276 loss of power steering) done on my truck I asked them to check on a grinding/whining noise from the area of the brake booster pump on the engine. They said in fact it was the brake vacuum booster pump, that it should be fixed or I could experience a sudden loss of braking power. They further explained it would have been covered under warranty but that expired a year ago and would now cost me some $440. Am wondering if other folks have complained about this. I've read of it happening to others on certain internet blog sites. To my way of thinking the brakes (and I suppose loss of abs/traction control) are at least as important as the steering that was enough of a problem to issue a recall. Btw the truck had 27,971 miles on it when the problem started, hardly 'warn out'.

2007 chevy silverado, purchased in late 2006. Took vehicle to dealer where purchased could find nothing wrong. Brakes squeaking very loudly, truck is bouncing erratically and sense a steering issue. 1st dealer also told me the tires just needed to be rotated. The truck is now at another dealer and I have yet to hear the verdict. The truck makes whining noises like in old trucks when the power steering would go bad. This truck currently has 21,000 miles.
