2017 Chevrolet Silverado brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 33 of 33, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2017 silverado is experiencing a very hard brake pedal at slow speeds. I took it into the dealership in october 2019 for the recall pertaining to this issue where they reprogram the braking unit. I had taken it in for that recall just as a preventative measure but now 4 months later I have a very hard brake pedal at slow speeds. I had not had a braking issue until now. When it acts up the pedal is so hard it makes it difficult to stop the truck. It seems to have a hard brake pedal when I'm going slow as in bumper to bumper traffic or parking the vehicle in a parking lot while applying the brakes off and on while doing so.
Had recall performed to address hard breaking at slow speeds. Now the truck is harder to stop at slow speeds and gm will not fix the problem. They know it's the vacuum pump and booster and expect me to pay for it.
Recalled at dealership for brake software adjustment. After recall brake peddal periodiaclly in hot weather compresses co.pletly to floor and makes loud squeeking sound. Truck is hard to stop when this happens. Vehicle ws in slow moving approach to parking lot.
This complaint deals with the brake recall coming from gm. I did take the truck to have the brake system reprogrammed. I had no issues until after the reprogramming of the system. While in parking lot going less than 5 MPH. I pulled into a parking spot placed the truck into reverse to straighten out and during the process of pulling back into the parking space straight. When I went to depress the pedal it was very stiff, it actually seemed as if the brake pedal was pushing back at my foot and the truck did not stop when it was expected to. Luckily, there was no car in the space in front of me allowing for the truck to come to a stop with no accidents or incidents. This at occurred approximately 73,500 miles. I did notify the dealership about this and they are replacing the vacuum brake pump free of charge. However, if circumstances were different this issue may have resulted in an accident.
Safety recall calibration to vapor brake system done. After recall completed brakes when pumped more than 1 time the brake pedal recedes to lowest level before stopping and other instances brake pedal only compresses down slightly with increased effort to stop. A load squeaking noise is associated with brake pedal going down far to floorboard. Before recalibration of vapor system per recall notice this was not as frequent a problem. Chevrolet dealership is not acknowledging or reproducing this absent problem. They refuse to assist further as per cevrolet customer support they will not repair unless they drive and find problem. They diagnosed it as no problem the vehicle is in motion coming to a hopeful stop when problem occurs

I was at a red light holding the brake pedal, suddenly it became really hard to press and the braking was limited. Tried pumping the brake pedal a few times but problem persisted. Light turned green finally and cautiously I gave it a little gas and stepped on brake pedal to see if I was going to have to resort to a plan b. Seemed to work once I got moving but definitely not normal
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.
I was in an accident on thursday, august 22 where I slammed into the back of another vehicle on the road. I had at least 40 feet to stop and I literally stood on teh brakes and truck barely slowed down and before colliding with the other vehicle. I received a letter from gm a few months ago saying the brake assist pump may be faulty and that I could get it replaced even though if it were to fail the truck would still brake within "standard". I didnt think anything of it since it wasn't described as an emergency and I thought I would have ti taken care of the next time I took the truck in for service. My wife had commented on my brakes feeling spongy. After the wreck I was so disturbed by how poorly the truck responded to forcibly depressing the brakes pedal that I started researching and I found where the federal safety agency was investigating this very issue in the 2014-16 silverados and I feel strongly that my issue should be included in this investigation. The truck should have stopped and I think a recall should be issued. The brakes do no operate within "standard" when the brake assist pump stops working.
At low engine RPM the brake force becomes extremely excessive. While backing down a long boat ramp last week this occurred and my wife could not press hard enough to stop the vehicle resulting in a collision to avoid the vehicle going into the water. I contacted chevrolet and was told there was no recall on this vehicle.
The vehicle in motion, at low speeds (under 10 MPH), the brakes fail to slow or stop the vehicle until the brake pedal is fully depressed which unexpectedly requires more effort than braking under normal conditions. Even with the pedal fully depressed, it still does not stop the vehicle within the expected stopping range.
I was pulling into wal-mart in white settlement, went to brake to slow down and it felt like the pressure was completely gone causing me to brake harder to stop.
This morning at low speed stop and go traffic and again when low speed parking the black pedal became hard to push and car would not stop properly. Happened both directions while parking. Will take to the dealer this afternoon. Seems to brake fine at higher speeds and slowing from higher speeds. Scary
Brakes become stiff and inoperable at low speeds after 2-3 pumps
Driving slow at drive thru lost power brakes
