During a panic stop at slow to mid speed someone pulled out in front of me and I hit the brakes only to have a hard pedal and not stopping quick enough. Felt like a brake booster issue. The hard pedal and increased stopping distance is a definite safety issue and I will be heading to the dealer asap. I am out of normal warranty and only have powertrain warranty left. Shouldn't matter due to safety relation of problem. ## VIN passed ## , ##

Page 6 of 11: complaints 131 to 160 of 281, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 35 MPH, the contact attempted to depress the brake pedal, but it failed to engage. The contact had to depress the brake pedal a second time to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to bedard bros. Auto sales (391 s state rd, cheshire, ma 01225, (413) 743-0014) where it was diagnosed that the engine mounted vacuum pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,859.
I took my truck in for service my brake pedal was getting hard to press even at a low speed. I took in my vehicle and it ended up being the brake vacuum pump that was causing the problem.
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.

2014 chevrolet silverado. Consumer writes in regards to braking system failure. *ld the consumer stated while rreversing and carrying a 16' trailer down a driveway the brakes failed to operate. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified.
Break power assist fails at low RPM. Break petal us hard to push and breaks do not stop vehicle as well.
My brakes are not stopping properly, I was advised it was a safety issue and could cause a traffic accident. My radiator also had began to leak from the front of my hood. It's been maintenance and I've never been in an accident. There vehicle should not be going out so quickly, at risk of overheating or fire.
On the highway pulling new travel trailer home. Came up-on stop & go traffic (2 hours) brake pedal was hard, no power. I did manage to stop very nervously without hitting vehicle in front. No problem after started moving. A few weeks latter backing up to park camper at camp ground and return home, same thing, no power brakes
The vacuum pump to the truck brakes went bad. I lost my breaks completely and could not engage any movement in the breaks to stop the truck.. Luckily I was in a parking lot and not driving down the road. It cost us over $800 dollars for this repair.

Brake pedal became very hard and couldnt hardly stop.
Started noticing hard brake pedal in reverse and at low speeds until last night it seemed as if my brakes were not there at all pulling into my garage.well this morning I left for work and got maybe 2 miles away and heard a squel and had little to no brake and then they got harder and I got no brakes I almost ran into a lady at a stop light in front of me but swerved and missed her but pulled over off road and noticed that my belt had broke and that vacuum pump had locked up and it needed replaced.
Loss of braking power has occurred multiple times at the boat ramp. While slowly backing down the ramp in reverse, brakes will become stiff and not stop the truck. Abs sensation in the pedal can be felt once pushing the pedal harder until the vehicle stops. Only solution is to put the vehicle in drive and give slight throttle to regain braking power before continuing to back down the ramp (which is less than 20 ft long nonetheless). My tuck has almost not stopped and rolled into the water on a few occasions now.
When driveing slow or backingup brake pedal is real hard and truck doesn't want to stop
Brake pedal becomes stiff and extremely hard to depress at low speeds (backing out of driveway, stop & go traffic, etc.). Vehicle became very difficult to stop and traveled a fair distance even with brake pedal fully engaged. Mileage: 86,000. Appears to be vacuum pump issue per notification letter from gm and as noted by many other drivers with similar experience. Dealership charges $650+ to replace vacuum pump if vehicle is over 72,000 mile limit placed as part of gm's special coverage program.
Brake pedal became very had to depress while reversing at a slow speed. This occurred in my private driveway as I was connecting a trailer. I was not able to stop the vehicle in the usual manner, while a did not collide with the trailer it was within an inch or two before I was able to get the vehicle to stop.
I have to increase pressure on the brake pedal to slow it down the break pedal get stiff hard to stop and I have to use an increased stopping distance. My service brake assist light came on on my dash...and it appears it is getting worse. ## VIN passed ## chevorlet silverado 1500 ##
Loss of brake power, pedal gets hard at low speed. Getting out of driveway the truck failed to stop, pedal got hard so increase of power applied to pedal
At low speed the brake pedal can be depressed and at times it will be extremely difficult to stop the forward progress of the truck.
I have had lose or hard braking issues due to a vacuum pump issue. Gm sent a letter out in april allowing special coverage but my vehicle doesn't meet there conditions.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet silverado 1500. While accelerating from a stop, the contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not respond. The brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received technical service bulletin number: 10113364 (service brakes, hydraulic), but the vehicle exceeded the maximum mileage. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.
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 to brake at times at low speed extra effort to brake or may not brake at all. Call chevrolet customer service and they say someone need a to get hurt in order to make a recall.. When they send me a notification by mail of the problem with my truck.
Hard brake pedal at low speeds. Unable to stop as normal. Happens sometime in forward but most always in reverse.
My wife and I were on vacation and stopped at a rest area off the interstate in missouri. Upon returning to the vehicle and pulling out of the rest area I applied the brakes and there was no power brake assist. I had to use both feet and push as hard as I could to get the vehicle to stop. Luckily there was a dealership about 10 miles down the interstate that could look at the vehicle. The vacuum pump that supplies vacuum to the power brakes had a complete failure causing no power assist to the bake system. The service technician at the dealership told me that this part must need repair often because they had them in stock. After the repair and $683.36 later we were back on our way.
Brakes randomly become very stiff and hard to push making it nearly impossible to stop the truck. This has happen about 3-4 time over the last 18 months.
Hard to press brake pedal at low speed and sometimes unable to stop due to stiffness of pedal
