Brakes Failed Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

Started the truck up and the check engine light, abs, brake, traction control lights were all on with a message in the center brake system failure. Limped vehicle to the dealership to have worked on. The braking system is working at about 10%. I am not the only person that this has happened to gm need to recall these trucks and get them fixed before someone dies.

I was backing up at a rate of 15 mph when a message flashed on my dashboard saying something along the lines of unsafe to drive over 62 mph, brake failure, electronic control system malfunction. I hit my brakes and nothing. I kept driving backwards. I couldn't stop until the truck came to a stop on it's own. I turned off the truck and turned it back on with a message saying �see dealer braking system malfunction. � I was at a storage unit, leaving my unit.

On 1/10/20, I was driving home on a major freeway. Just before 5:00 pm I hit traffic and slowed down to roughly 5-10 mph. At that moment my dashboard lit up and a notification stating, "brake system failure" and "service esc" popped up on my dash. At that point I was unable to stop when applying my brakes. Luckily I had a large enough space between my truck and the car in front of me as well as the two lanes beside me having an opening and I was able to get over and coast to a complete stop on the shoulder. Extremely dangerous electronic malfunction. Had I lost my brakes 10 second sooner I would have been unable to stop and caused a potentially fatal car accident.

I was driving going around a corner when I experienced total system brake failure as deer ran across the road and I had to swerve into a ditch to avoid them. I had service esc , trailer brake system failure and a total brake system failure show on my dash along with check engine lights and other lights I was unaware what their purpose was.

Loss of brakes!!! started vehicle and received to following on dash display: * "service esc" * "brake system failure 62 mph top speed" * "service trailer brake system" * "abs" display * "brake" display * "esc" display.

I own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz. I purchased it new 35 days ago. I recently encountered a very dangerous situation. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle lost it's braking ability. The brake pedal was fully depressed but the truck would not stop. The vehicle coasted until it came to a complete stop. The display indicated service traiier brake system, service esc, brake system failure, and cel. I powered the vehicle off and restarted it. The cel remained on. The other lights went away. The brakes appeared to work better but when I applied them I experienced a jerking motion. I called my local Chevrolet dealership, prince Chevrolet, ledo rd. Albany,� GA. I scheduled an appointment that yielded no resolution as my check engine light remained on when I left the appointment and is still on now. I was told that the problem "might" be a result of starting my vehicle using the "my Chevrolet" mobile app. I was informed that nothing was done to repair the issue as they didn't know exactly how to fix the problem at this time. I was informed that the tech did find a service bulletin and based upon the contents thereof, I was advised not to use the app anymore. Further, I was told that I would receive a call when a solution was determined. The failure mileage was 2400.

Service esc,service trailer braking system, brake system failure 62mph top speed and a check engine light. Have another appointment at dealer after recall for esc brake module has been performed.

Service abs, service esc, and "brake failure 62mph speed limited" lights come on and brake pedal goes to the floor with very very limited braking. Recall for brake control module reprogramming was completed on 1/03/20. Drove truck 1. 5 limes and lights came back on and brake pedal went to the floor, steering also became stiff. This was always while driving the vehicle. Has happened on 4 different occasions.

As I left to head to the store this evening I immediately had 3 codes come up on my dash after I turned the ignition on. (brake system failure. 62mph top speed. Service trailer brake system. Service esc). I thought it was a glitch so I backed down my driveway with resistance of the brakes. I had it in 4x4 due to snow so I assumed its just feeling rough from that. I proceeded to drive down the street I live on to a major road and went straight into cross traffic because the truck would not stop. I nearly died from a snow plow coming. I pumped the brakes once I didn't feel them working and it felt like I was pushing on a cement block. This is unacceptable as I have come close to dying in a recalled cobalt before bow I have to worry about this truck since theres no active recall-just like the cobalt!!! I fear for my life and my autistic child's life as this is my only means of transportation to our doctors. The vehicle is parked and I contacted my friend who works in service to also doccument with him when it occurred.

I've brought my vehicle in to a gm certified Chevrolet dealership to get it's oil changed and along with that they informed me of completing a safety recall pertaining to it's brakes. The next day after the recall had been done my brakes had gone soft and my dash lit up with several different messages. Service esc, service trailer brake system, and brake system failure 62 mph top speed. I decided to bring it in again and had the recall done once more. This time it lasted a few days until my brakes had gone out once more with the same messages. It's already been a safety risk as the second time it had happened I couldn't stop and went through a 4 way intersection nearly missing oncoming traffic. My vehicle has been at the dealership since December 26, 2019. I've been informed that there "is no known fix per gm" now I'm in a loaner vehicle while paying for a truck that can't be driven.

On 12/26/2019 at 05:40 am, I got in my truck (2019 silverado lt allstar) and started the engine. I immediately received multiple warning messages on my dash panel. They were "service esc", "brake system failure" "steering assist reduced" and to drive no faster than 62 mph. � prior to parking the night before on 12/25/2019 I had never had any problems whatsoever. On 12/26/2019 I was heading to work but found quickly that the brake pedel went all the way to the floor with very limited or basically no braking. The steering became very difficult with no apparent power assist.

While backing out of a parking space my brakes felt soft and seemed unresponsive. Put truck in drive and started moving forward and when I tried to stop the brake pedal went to the floor with about 5-10% braking power. Truck barely stopped before entering moving cross traffic. Truck went into limp mode displaying brake system failure speed limited to 62 mph. Limped truck to dealership approximately 2 miles. Every time I had to stop I had to pump the brakes twice and on the second time the brake pedal was depressed I would gain approximately 50% braking power. Truck has already had all recalls performed and specifically, the recalls related to "fixing" this exact issue. Dealer put the truck on the computer and explained only a check engine light had been activated due to the brake system but couldn't say what happened. Dealer attempted to have me drive the truck home, 40 miles on the freeway, and bring back in 3 days for an appointment. Feeling this was an unsafe option I requested they keep the truck until it could be thoroughly investigated and to put me in a loaner or provide transportation which they did.

Weird brake and steering feel while driving. Speed did not exceed 35 mph in neighborhood driving. Dic read: brake system failure max speed 62 mph service esc trailer brake system failure. Brake pedal was hard to push and unresponsive at times. Felt like we were dragging the back end at times. Steering was inconsistent. Parking brake was off. Stopped and started 3 times, reset the vehicle a few times. Prior to a big downhill, the last restart cleared the issue and the brake pedal went to the floor. Drove home and parked. To be honest, felt unsafe to drive especially with my son and wife in the car. Luckily we only had a short 3 miles home. Check engine light on onstar report received in email.

Had a short 5 mile drive to a restaurant. The truck sat for a few hours. Auto started the truck to warm. After 5-7 minutes I pressed the brake and turned on the truck. It instantly threw 3 codes. Brake system failure. Service trailer brake system. Service esc. Turned the truck off then back on. No change same codes. Proceeded to get the truck back home when I noticed I had almost no brakes. Next morning after starting the truck I didn't have any code messages but did have service engine light. Truck drove and stopped as it normally did.

Around Dec 15th, I was notified of a new recall related to the braking system: n192268090 brake system malfunction warning. I immediately scheduled an appt with my local chevy dealer to get this recall fixed. I took it in on 12/17. I had to leave the truck overnight. I picked it up on 12/18. On 12/20, after leaving the movies with my family, I had a total brake system failure - on city street. My dash lit up with abs, cel and warnings such as "brake system failure 62 mph top speed". When I tried to apply my brakes, they were stiff and did not stop the truck immediately. They were very hard to push in. I was able to limp home. I took my truck back to the dealer the next morning 12/21. They had it for a week until the following Saturday 12/28. They said gm told them the issue was loose battery cables that interfered with the braking system. They tightened them and should be good to go. I picked my truck up that day. That night, after leaving a basketball game with my family, the same thing happened again - complete braking system failure - after turning truck on. I returned my truck to the dealer on the 30th where it is still sitting. They told me gm said not to release the truck back to owner until engineers figure out the issue. I have opened a case with gm case # 9-5715631728. I have gone through 2 different agents - neither of which have offered any updates. I have been without my truck for over 2 weeks and there is no updates to this major safety issue. I have lost confidence in my new truck & feel that my family is not safe. There are several other owners in the same boat in the chevy forum I follow. . Read more...

I took it Tuesday 12/17/19 in for an oil change at 4k miles to get under 7k service. For my 2019 high country. As I was notified I was due for an oil change. I looked on onstar. Saw there was a recall and figured they could two things at once. Come to find out there were three recalls. Which I get it, things happen. I get it home Tuesday night no issues. Thursday 12/19/19 around 6 pm, as I was backing out of my driveway and it wouldn't stop. I had to stand on the brakes. I am 6�2� and 300 lbs. I was able to get the vehicle in drive and again, the vehicle was not easily stopping. I had numerous dashboard displays. I took pictures of the displayed items. I called rick hendrick Chevrolet at 6:53 pm on 12/19/19 and since I live close dropped it off at the dealer, as I was headed out of town Sunday and wanted this fixed. So. . . . Here comes the issue besides it not stopping that I am even more fired up about! the service guy, called me Friday morning to say they can't find anything wrong. Now, with the display saying service esc, trailer brake system, and brake system failure not to go above 62 mph, I am pretty sure it triggered an code and would be in code history. I told him I had pictures of the dash display and that they needed to check the code history. He told me at one point it was the vacuum, but then told me that the vacuum was an issue with last years model. And that he was having his master technician look at it. Around 4 pm on Friday, with a family trip coming up Sunday 12/22/19 and not hearing anything I called a few times to find out if I needed to rent a car or they could get me a loaner. I got a call around 5:13 pm on 12/19/19 telling me it's ready and they reinstalled the software and the master technician drove it. Said he is comfortable. I was scared then and scared now to put them back in that vehicle.

First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note I have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at higher speeds. Starting at 24mph up to 80. My kids teeth shatter in the back. That's how bad it is. Dealers said there is no fix for that so I started by re balancing my tires and after that didn't work I got new tires. Still have the issue and its more of a headache to bring it into the dealer cause they don't want to fix it or can't. Currently on 40,000 miles on my truck and already had a multitude of issues with oil pump failure, steering column replaced due to moving horizontal. Seat issues they couldn't fix so had to replace the bracket and brakes are ongoing.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at lower speeds the brake pedal would extend to the floor and causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken the local dealer sun rise Chevrolet GMC(1800 covington pike, memphis TN) who reprogram the brake module but the failure worsened. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who indicated that the brake vacuum pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 69,000. Jft.

Tl the contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 15 mph, the contact attempted to make a right turn and the brakes failed to engage. Also, the brake warning indicator illuminated. The contact allowed the vehicle to idle, pulled into a parking lot, and came to a stop. Roadside assistance was contacted and the vehicle was towed to jim butler Chevrolet (759 gravois bluffs blvd, fenton, mo 63026, (636) 349-3222) where it was diagnosed that the anti-lock brake system needed to be replaced; however, the part to do the repairs was not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,588.

Warning message came across screen of "brake system failure 62 mph top speed". Vehicle was difficult to stop and had I been in heavy traffic would have certainly caused an accident. I believe the failure is related to the integrated brake controller. I feel that 62 mph is a unsafe speed to allow the vehicle to be operated at with such a failure. A 90th percentile female would not be able to control the vehicle with such a failure due to the amount of pressure required to be applied to the brake pedal in manual mode.

On 09/27/19 while driving my vehicle home from dinner with my children my brakes went out completely close to a mile from our home. The vehicle was in motion while this happened and we were on a highway. Significant force had to be exerted on the brake pedal to force the truck to slowly come to a stop. Had we been in heavier traffic there is no doubt that this brake vacuum pump failure would have resulted in a crash involving other vehicles. When I contacted the dealership, richard kay superstore in anderson SC, they stated their was a recall for a re-calibration of the braking system that if left unchecked could cause a failure of the vacuum pump. At the time the vehicle was three years old and the recall was issued 25 days prior to my incident. The total cost to repair the vacuum pump was $705. 96. I am very disappointed that Chevrolet has not recalled the vacuum pump assembly. It is clear to me that the calibration failure is causing these pumps to wear out too quickly. . . Or the pump themselves may actually be faulty as well. Regardless, the calibration should be required as well as a replacement of the vacuum pump at no charge to the consumer. This will prevent injury and potentially the loss of life.

Brake failure. While backing down my driveway at a speed of only 10-15 mph the vehicles brake pedal became rock hard and would not depress, I am a 220 lb. Man who is what I feel in good shape and had to use both feet on the brake pedal and all my strength just to attempt to slow it down. I was unable to fully be able to stop the vehicle when I impacted the corner of my garage which resulted in minor bumper damage , however no one was hurt thank god. The odd thing is once I stopped and put the vehicle in park the brake pedal seemed to build pressure again and was fine? after a little investigation with the vehicle I can recreate the issue if I pump the brakes 4 to 5 times in quick succesion which results again in a rock hard pedal and loss of braking. Once I rev the engine in neutral I restore pressure back to the brake pedal and have no issues. I am almost positive this is a brake vacuum issue and will be taking to a mechanic ASAP to look into it.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

On June 16th 2019 I drove down to atlanta, GA for a baseball game. Midway I stopped for gas. When I turned back on the truck, I realized that I had lost a and if I get an amount of my braking ability. However, I had no lights on mu dash to indicate a failure to the braking system. I read on a gm forum that other owners experienced the problem, turned off the vehicle for 30 mins, turned back on the vehicle and the brakes worked again. They, however, had lights indicating a brake failure. I followed the forums suggestions and after 30 mins with my truck off, I drove the truck again and had no further issues. I took the vehicle into the service department, but as I expected they could not replicate the issue. I wanted to start a paper trail though incase the issue reoccurred. On July 10th the same braking issue occurred again. This time I was near my dealership in greenville, SC. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they were able to confirm a loss of over 50% of braking but no lights or check engine code (past or present) indicating a brake failure. I am very concerned and believe this truck is unsafe because of the braking issues and lack of confirmation of service lights on the truck dash. It is a death trap. They are not able to confirm a fix either due to not having a service error code to fix and turn off. Vehicle was in motion when issues occurred both times. On both occasion as, serious car accidents almost happened due to lack of braking ability.

2015 Chevrolet silverado. Consumer writes in regards to brake failure safety recall. The consumer stated the vehicle was in a minor fender bender due to the brakes failing. The consumer also owns another vehicle with the same failure.

My truck is showing signs of the defective vacuum pump. Problem was sparatic and noticed it shortly after purchasing the truck with 95,000 miles on it. Now at 105,000 miles it started happening more frequently so I researched it. Randomly at slow speeds like pulling into a parking spot or my driveway or easing up at a stop light in traffic the brakes lose all power assist. It feels like the abs is kicking in and the truck just keeps rolling. It takes about all the force you can give to get the truck to stop. Will be bringing the truck into chevy this weekend. Was hoping for a recall before I had to dish out the money since it does seem to be an extremely unsafe premature brake system failure with no warning until the truck does not stop.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While in traffic, the brake pedal felt hard when depressed and failed to slow down the vehicle. The contact had to drive off the freeway and onto the gravel to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and later towed to mark christopher auto center (2131 e convention center way, ontario, CA 91764, (909) 321-5860) where it was diagnosed that the brake vacuum pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.

I was entering a structure parking at low speed when I needed to stop to give the right of way for cross traffic , at this time I proceeded to put my foot on the brake and the brake would not allow me to stop. (the brake pedal became stiff and it would not allow me to press it down). Luckily I did not strike the vehicle crossing and at this point I was using my emergency brake. I further realized my truck was no longer stopping on demand, but more of rolling to a stop. I contacted a local dealer and they said they couldn't help me because they were busy which I think is unaccepatable I would have to wait over a week to take my truck in for this service. Brake failure should be a priority for any automotive dealer. My truck has about 33500 miles and I have maintained and serviced it properly.

While driving at low speed the brakes failed to stop and I nearly ran over a lady. Then after parking I went to leave and I almost baked into someone because the brakes again failed. Local dealer said that the vacuum pump is know to just go out randomly. This should be a recall seeing as to how it is sketchy and could get someone killed.

Hard brake pedal and near complete brake failure at low speeds due to faulty vacuum pump for brake booster. Vacuum pump unable to provide enough vacuum to brake booster causing very hard pedal at low speeds and stop and go traffic. Vehicle is well maintained with approx 52,500 miles.
