Filed Jan 18, 2024 · Brakes, Driver assistance · TX

While driving my truck I was in line picking up my kids from school when pulling up close to the car infront of me my brakes got extremely hard and the truck kept slowly moving forward so I pressed harder to make sure I wouldn't accidentally hit the car. I just now saw a recall on the vacuum pump which in assuming is my issue with the harding of the brakes. I have not took it any where to be investigated yet

Trailer braking system kept indicating that it needed service. While pulling an RV trailer the brakes would pulsate (especially going downhill). This resulted in several “uncomfortable” and dangerous braking situations. The module has been replaced, but the dealership kept the defective part so it is not available for inspection. The dealership saw the message being displayed and diagnosed the event prior to replacing the part. This component should have been covered under a national recall as it is a safety hazard!

I have a 2016 Silverado which was purchased new, the vehicle has now 35K miles. Recently the radio display which contains the intelink and other adaptive controls began randomly going through multiple screens on my dashboard, and touch screen radio screen including digital speedometer turning off and going to random music stations, the radio flickering as if searching for different signals , and going through different screens, blue tooth, ac, radio volume going extremely loud, driver info screen going blank , etc... causing a horrible distraction , and will not turn off a search on the internet shows multiple GM vehicles for the years 2016-2020 with the same problem I have contacted local dealer who states car is not under warranty anymore. This is definitely a safety issue on this vehicle and I would like to report this to the NHTSI

Pulled into the parking lot at work at low speed when applying the brake to backup I noticed the brake pedal was very hard. I put my truck in reverse to back into a parking spot, the brake was very hard and wouldn't stop. When hit the fence the truck finally stopped. Called the dearler where I got the truck, they said there's a recall and the brake system needed to be reprogrammed but that wasn't going to fix it. 2019 I took the truck in @ 60,000 miles, they did a reprogram and said they couldn't do any thing else unless there was another brake recall. The bad thing about this whole brake problem is gm knows what the problem is and won't fix it. Gm has and will fix the problem if you pay 12 to 1,600 dollars. Since they did the reprogram I have 80, 000 miles on the truck and at low speed at a traffic light or in parking lots the brake is very hard and the ABS system will activate. Same problem different day. I need new bombers now. I guess gm is waiting for someone to get hurt.

After driving the truck for about 20 min, the truck loose a little bit of power then the breaks begin to get harder and harder till the front breaks lock up, after they lock up I have to park it for atleast 10 min then you feel them unlock and you can drive again, sometimes only a couple more min or till the next day, had it into the chevy dealership were they could not find anything wrong except some old stored codes, I showed them the code I kept getting and they said they didnt so mine couldnt be right, but to bring it back if it happens again. Tonight I pulled into work, I work midnights and my front rotors were glowing lava red. Breaks locked up after the stabilatrak service light comes on

As I was backing out of my driveway the truck suddenly shut off and the steering wheel jerked hard out of my hand. The screens all went blank. I was halfway onto the road when this happened and luckily the oncoming traffic was able to stop in time. I restarted the car and it did it again. It took three times to get the car going. I immediately called the dealer to take it in for service. On the way to the dealer it happened again and prior to the screen just blacked out only then the AC blower fan surged on and off. The vehicle again shut off as I was turning from dual highway to the dealer and the steering wheel jerked out of my hands and the brakes locked. Also when I backed out that morning the rear felt like their was some slippage. I bought my 2016 silverado used in 2018 with 24k miles on it. The odometer just turned 50k two days ago, so this vehicle has not been driven hard and has always had proper service.I began researching and there are thousands of the same complaint online so I thought there must be a recall. However, the dealer tells me that there is only a "bulletin" and that since I am out of warranty I have to pay for the known repairs needed to fix this issue that clearly gm is aware of. Repairs are over 1300 dollars! I can not believe that gm knows about such a dangerous problem and will not fix it for owners. How many injuries and deaths must occur before a bulletin warrants becoming a recall? I also noted that the previous owner, right before I bought the vehicle according the the car fax took the vehicle for service due to electrical problems. So this was known by gm and dealer when I bought the truck. Deceitful. I have a family that relies on this vehicle for transportation and now I can't afford to fix it or trade it and it is not safe to drive. Help!
