1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2020

October 29,2020 I was traveling down a highway when I noticed traffic was stopped and when I went to apply my brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor and I had nothing not even a light came on to notify my of an issue. I also tried to apply the emergency brake and it snapped and at that point I had to leave the road way to avoid hitting any cars or anyone, and in doing so iwent towards a ditch and ramped a driveway. We have ;looked into the recalls and its the same parts we are having trouble with on this truck and why it caused me to wreck. Hydro boost system, and the emergency brake system. The codes that I pulled from the NHTSA. These all are whats has happened with my vehicle. 04v376000 05v161000 05v043000 if you need any additional info please let me know I have a video I tried to send from the homeowners security camera of the truck ramping his drive but it was too large to upload and I have to get another copy of the police report if you would like that.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2017

The entire instrument panel flickers and goes dark randomly I cant see my speed or what gear I am in. On my way to work and attempted to stop at a stop sign break pedal went to the floor. I had zero brakes. Upon inspection I found a break line had corroded through and ruptured. The vehicle only has 100 thousand miles. It seems to be a common issue with this model vehicle. This is very dangerous.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2014

Making left turn from loop 375 exit ramp to turn left onto montana Ave. In el paso TX. I was waiting for light to turn left. Light turned green I proceeded to make left turn and in the turn the steering came really hard to turn I went up on the curb and attempted to stop and the brake pedal went to the floor. There was enough brake to stop. Good thing this did not happen when I approached the intersection or would have been much worse. There was no warning light or chime. I checked fluids and they were all full. When I took it to mission Chevrolet and explained what happen they gave me the impression they already knew what was wrong like this is a common issue. Today I got a call from them and confirmed that it is the power assist for the brakes and power steering. Why if this is a known problem the consumer does not know about it?.

9 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2008

On two different occasions with my 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 I experienced power steering and brake loss after starting the engine and beginning to drive. . Steering was very hard and I had to "stand" on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. After a few minutes it all began to work again but I was without power steering and brakes for several minutes. I took it to my dealer and they replaced the brake unit and replaced a hose on the power steering pump. Parts are probably not available as I left them at the dealer. Now I am getting a slight surge when brakes are applied and this is one of the events that happened before the failure causing me to fear that failure might happen again.
