What owners say
After a 7 hour drive on freeway brakes failed to stop vehicle. I had to have it towed to repair shop for a complete brake job for $1800.00. Vehicle seemed to be fixed so drove it back home another 7 hours and the exact some problem happened again while parking in my garage.
After sending my SUV for the brake recall(the brakes actually failed while I was driving) last month, my brakes failed again while driving out of my driveway, on wednesday 8/19 -on my way to work.. I drove straight to the dealership. Basically having to hard push the brakes on city streets stop lights etc. Scary. Yesterday, 8/20 they told me the car was fixed. On my way to the dealership 30 min away, they tell me after driving the vehicle, that brake indication came on the screen and they will need to keep it for my safety. As of now no word on it being corrected, and quite honestly not feeling safe about diving the car.
Was in school car line, went to move forward a little and brakes didnt work properly. Almost hit the car in front of me. Go straight to a dealership where they tell me about the recall. Schedule the fix, this morning when I left the dealership I discover the recall didnt fix my issue. Learn that I need a vaccuum pump replacement. I am upset that I am suppose to pay $500 for a faulty vaccuum pump and risk my life, the kids lives and people's live around me until I can afford this repair when it is faulty in the first place.

- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.
