2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Nov 21, 2025 · Transmission · TN

For years I have taken my truck in to see why it is grinding when shifting and was told it was nothing. Now it got so bad my truck completely lost the ability to accelerate at all. The records I had at James Corlew have been lost since they changed to a new owner. I have spent over $7000 to get this fixed

As I was driving, the brakes got all Smashy the pedal locked and the brakes started grinding. I couldn’t stop the truck anymore. I couldn’t do absolutely anything I had to stop and hit a divider from a parking structure to be able to stop my truck. My truck is a 2015 Chevy Silverado, I do maintenance all the time I almost took out four cars and injured. These people along with myself. This is uncalled for something is wrong with my brakes. I took a video right after and you see on the video how the brake is just stuck it won’t even go in or anything you hear , a marshmallow sound you feel the grinding it’s horrible .

At low speeds, the braking system is not operating at 100% efficiency. The pedal must be pushed hard and the vehicle does not STOP promptly. Happens in forward and reverse. There is also a grinding sound when this happens.

When driving home from work one day driving at low speed (Below 15mph) the brake pedal would not go down it seemed like no matter how hard I pushed the brake pedal would not move much. This caused me to run a stop sign once the truck slowed down enough and brakes were literally being pressed as hard as possible you could hear the front brakes grinding really bad and the truck still did not want to stop. I had to call a wrecker service to tow my truck to a local mechanic shop. Upon further investigation and 625 dollars later it was determined the vacuum pump failed. After replacing the pump no further issues so far.

I had an issue with the transfer case got stuck in 4hi and at the time it had a recall so I took it to the dealer located less than 20 miles of my house I never got over 45 MPH while stuck in 4hi dealer did recall which fixed the problem for about 7 months then when I was hauling a 18 ft car hauler with a small truck on it and I only had to haul it 30 miles to my house I was about a 1/4 mile from my driveway and the rear end popped really loud 1 time and then all of a sudden it started grinding and I shut the truck off and called roadside and had it towed to dealer and I received a call from the dealer they said that the spider gears had broken and it was going to cost 3000 for a new rear end do to the cross pin retaining bolt had broken inside the differential carrier assembly I decline the service because I didn't see why I had to pay if I still have warranty on it and I had another rear differential carrier assembly and had it installed which it worked fine except that the when the original rear end broke it said service 4wd and it still said that when I got the rear end fixed and I took to the dealer and they told me that it would cost 130 just to look at it and if they found anything wrong with it that that 130 would go toward repairs and as I said before it is still under warranty and is only got 47000 miles and I took it to a friend's shop that has a snap on computer and pulled codes and researched the codes and what I found was that the transfer case shift module re learned or reprogrammed and that would fix the issue which a lot of other 2014/15 silverado owners have had the same issue with the transfer case and relearning or reprogramming fixed the issue.

When turning steering wheel I hear a clunking/grinding noise. On 7/07/2017 I brought it in to michaels chevrolet located in fresno, ca regarding the issue. I was told the issue was a result of a bad rack and pinion. They replaced the rack under warranty. Now three weeks later I'm having the exact same problem so obviously this new one is bad as well. The clunking/grinding noise is more pronounced when stationary and turning wheel right and left and while backing. You don't really hear it much while driving.
