2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brakes

At low speeds the brakes become hard and vehicle will not stop requiring increased stopping distance. It appears there is a recall for this, but my VIN does not seem to be included. Reference NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V645000.

On 09/22/2022, the power assist for the brakes suddenly and without warning failed during slow forward and reverse maneuvering in a parking lot, resulting in an increase in brake pedal pressure and travel to slow and stop the vehicle. Contact with a proximate vehicle was narrowly avoided. A service brakes message appeared in the central information panel between the tachometer and speedometer. Turning off the ignition and then turning the ignition switch back to start the vehicle extinguished the service brake message, and power assist for the brakes returned to nominal function. This occurrence is a safety of driving concern because of its sudden onset without warning and the need to immediately compensate with the application of significantly increased brake pedal pressure to slow and stop the vehicle. A corresponding increase in braking distance was not measured but was distinctly noticed.

While back 1,200 pound boat and trailer down a boat ramp, the brake pedal sank to the floor and the vehicle kept rolling. I had to pump it several times to stop it. This has happened every time I go to a boat ramp. Brakes seem to work great other than low speed backing up. I'm scared I might get pulled into the water if I ever tow whatbmy truck is rated for at 11,000 pounds. Please advise.

When backing out of a parking spot or driving slow breaks almost do not work Will barely stop the the vehicle

At lower speeds the brake pedal become stiff making it extremely difficult to stop. Sometimes the antilock breaks will kick in to help, but sometimes that doesn't even stop the truck. On several occasions I have nearly hit other cars because the brakes fail to engage. On one occasion when parking in a multi story parking garage, the truck almost plowed through the side barrier because it wouldn't stop. The brakes also fail when going in reverse at low speeds. It appears that the brake assist vacuum pump is failing as has been reported by a number of other complaints. The brake pads and rotors are all in good shape and the truck has only 68,000 miles.

Reoccurring trailer brake system alerts. Occurs when trailer is both hooked up and not hooked up.

I have tooken my 2016 Silverado 5.3 that I bought brand new 4 times to get fixed for a brake recall, it is still not fixed even though in their records it’s fixed, I have had several near misses but I am always ready with the e brake. The brakes get super hard out of no where and I can’t brake at all. Recently I hit 2 vehicles because of this recall. I was backing out of my home and when I tried to brake I hit a car parked in the side of the road, if they would’ve been in the car I would’ve killed the owner of the vehicle for sure. I put it in drive to get out of her car and the brake didn’t work again and crashed into the vehicle in front of me again because of the brake recall. I was injured both time and I am paying for these peoples cars and other stuff. I have been talking to several lawyers just haven’t decided which one I am going to go with. I am scared for my life to drive that truck now and it is sacred to me and my family as my dad died from COVID and it was his truck

At low speeds, the brake pedal requires much more effort but doesn't engage as quickly as normal driving, so the car still rolls forward even though the brake pedal is fully depressed. This is problematic when parking or at stop signs or stop lights. Plus, it is very dangerous.

While driving slowly in parking lot, lost braking. I had minimal braking for the next 5 minutes. Message on dashboard said SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. Which indicates a problem with the brake boost assist system. Further investigation indicates a re-programing of the braking software may be needed. i would like to see this issue of re-programing the braking software a re-call on my 2106 truck.

1. The brake vacuum failed. 2. Mine and other drivers safety was put at risk because the vehicle was unable to come to a complete stop even when brake pedal was fully engaged. 3. The problem has been since fixed by a mechanic, before we knew of a previous recall on this particular issue. 4. There were no warnings displayed.

Braking ability significantly decreases when in reverse and also sometimes when traveling at very low speeds like pulling into the driveway or into a parking spot. The brake will be fully applied, and vehicle will continue to move. This can cause a very dangerous collision and potentially cause death or serious injury to the vehicle passengers and/or passengers of vehicles encountered. The 'service brake assist' indicator will light up on the dash at times, other times there is no warning light when it happens. I bought this vehicle a little less than 30 days ago (on 12/20/2021) and have had this happen to me multiple times. I have not had it to the dealer yet, but have an appointment set to have it looked at. My father (a diesel mechanic) seems to think it is due to vacuum loss of the brakes. The vehicle can be available for inspection upon request.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH from a complete stop, the brake pedal was depressed but went all the way to the floorboard and hesitated to respond, causing a 3 feet delay in stopping distance. The brake assist warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving and whenever he would depress the brake pedal several times. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V645000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Loss of brakes at low speeds, may require pumping of brakes. Had an update performed and thought bit was corrected. Have experienced it 4 or 5 times since. Vehicle continues to roll a few feet before stopping. Corrects itself after restart of vehicle.

Hard brakes. If I press on the brake peddle 2-3 times while making a stop the peddle becomes stiff and difficult. ABS kicks in. Truck was taken into the servicing dealership under the recall but was told there was no problem. It has continued ever since. So is this still under the recall or am I on my own?

LOSE OF BREAKING POWER AT LOW SPEED. I LOST ALL BREAKING POWER TRYING TO MANEUVER IN A PARKING GARAGE AND PARKING LOT. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS THAT COME ON DURING OR AFTER THIS. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 3 TIMES ALMOST RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND OTHERS. THE BREAK PEDDLE STIFFENS AND PROVIDES ALMOST NO BREAKING.

Intermittent reduction in braking power while performing parking maneuvers (parallel parking). Feels like loss of power brakes requiring very heavy force to stop vehicle - very unnerving. Vehicle was taken to dealership for inspection and dealer replaced brake pads and rotors on front & back. Dealer claims issue is unrelated to recall 19V645 & 20V603 but I suspect it is as symptoms are identical.

WHILE DRIVING AT PARKING SPEED OR DRIVE THROUGH SPEED MY BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND I LOSE BRAKE. I'VE ALMOST WRECKED A FEW TIMES ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

1) Brake system, yes. 2) The vehicle did not stop when the brake pedal was depressed (known issue with GM). 3) Yes, GM provided an independent investigator and confirmed the brake system failure. 4) Yes. 5) No. On May 29, 2021, at approximately 9:35 AM, I was traveling Northbound on Interstate 5 and exiting the freeway on Highway 46. As I exited the freeway, there was slow moving traffic, I began to brake and experienced no braking at all and the ABS kicked in. At that time, I was traveling at approximately 10 miles an hour when the impact accorded with the vehicle in front of me.

Believe the vacuum pump is faulty. Hard braking g or no brakes when going slow or go in reverse.

I have a hard brake pedal at low or idle speeds. First noticed it while trying to park in a parking deck while on vacation. I almost ran into the wall. I looked online for the cause and noticed there is a recall for this issue for our year truck. I contacted the closest dealer but they informed me that my vin number did not pull up the recall. We have a "Texas" edition. I'm wondering if this edition has the same vacuum brake assist pump being recalled but has not been reported.

Brakes fail at low speed. I have seen numerous reports of this problem dating back to 2018 and nothing seems to be happening with a recall. This is a very danger problem that needs to be addressed immediately. GM service confirmed there is no recall on this common problem. Although there has been no accident, it has been close and pedestrians are at particular risk.

AT SLOWER SPEED THE BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO FAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE PRESSED HARD BUT SINKS AND THE CAR DOES NOT STOP. THIS IS ONLY HAPPENS AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. IT FEELS LIKE THE CARS DOES NOT STOP AND I HAVE TO PUT MUCH MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL. I USUALLY PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND IT IS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I DID TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG

I GOT A RECALL DONE BUY A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN STORM LAKE IOWA, SO THEY SAY THEY DID IT BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING I NOTICED THE MY TRUCK STARTED BREAKING DIFFERENT AT LOW SPEEDS JUST LIKE THE RECALL WAS FOR THE RECALL NUMBER IS N192268490. JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO SO I DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE BREAKS WON'T WORK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TOO!

I WAS PULLING A TRAILER AND WAS TRYING TO BACK IT UP TO PARK IT AND I LOST MY ABILITY TO BRAKE. IT WAS SCARY ASKS DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY DID IS REPROGRAM IT AND NOT ADDRESS THE ACTUAL VACUUM PUMP THAT HAS THE SLUDGE BUILD UP ON THE SCREEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING BRAKE LOSS AT LOW SPEED. I'M HEY DISAPPOINTED IN GM. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY '15 AND '16 SILVERADO'S. I'M NOT SURE IF I'LL BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN IF MY SAFETY IS COMPROMISED AND THEY WILL ONLY BANDAID THE PROBLEM
