Vehicle was in for a recall 1 week prior to recalibrate a possible error in the vacuum assist pump to brake system. This week, stopped at a stop sign on a highway, posted speed 45 and the brake disengaged and vehicle lurched forward. Called dealer, service tech says known issue, gm has issued an extended warranty to this model to repair/replace the part known to be faulty. Tech said gm should have mailed a letter saying that if, and only if the brakes failed or became hard to press, bring vehicle in. If there had been a pedestrian or vehicle close, I would have hit them. Bringing vehicle in after the fact would be too late. My vehicle qualified for the free repair so it is being repaired now.

Manufacturer recall numbern192268490 the federal safety agency recall number19v645 on august 14, 2014, I was driving the 2017 chevy silverado 4x4 work truck on a rural state route in holmes county, ohio. I had pulled off on the side of the road to pick up my traffic counting equipment. Once I was finished, I pulled into a driveway to turn around. I began to back out of the drive when the brake pedal went rock hard, I lost all pedal and had no brakes. I hit the guardrail that was directly behind me when I couldn't stop. No damage to the guardrail, but plenty of damage to my truck. Obviously, I didn't think this was right so the very next day I took the truck to progressive chevrolet. After techs had a chance to look over the vehicle, they said the vacuum pump was defective and it was replaced at no cost to me. That's all well and good, but had the vacuum pump not failed, I would not have hit the guardrail.
