2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brakes

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT, STEERING ASSIST REDUCED DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 62 MPH SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE, SERVICE ESC. BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT WANT TO STOP.

WHEN FOOT BRAKE AND EMERGENCY BRAKE IS RELEASED AND TRUCK IS PUT IN D POSITION, LOUD POP IS HEARD AND TRUCK LUNGES FORWARD ALL AT ONCE WITH NO EXCELERATION. CHEV DEALERS IN AREA WON'T SEE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS EVEN WITH SAFETY RECALL OUT. TRIP CANCELLED. NEVER BUY A CHEV!!!

WHEN I STOP SLOWLY THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS TO MAKE A NOISE AND STARTS TO SHAKE. YOU CAN LITERALLY FEEL YOUR FOOT SHAKING WHEN STOPPING SLOWLY. IT DOES NOT MAKE IT EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT MAKES IT LIKE 4 TIMES. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP THEN IT STARTED DOING IT ON THE CITY STREET. IT DOES IT WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A STOP BUT HAVENT STOPPED COMPLETELY BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT STOPS DOING IT.

I WAS PARKED AT A LOCAL LAKE WHEN I STARTED MY 2020 CHEY TRUCK AND NOTICED SEVERAL WARNINGS ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE ESC & SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE. I BACKED UP SLOWLY AND NOTICE MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET IT TO STOP. THERE WAS A WARNING THAT SAID DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 43 MPH. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT EXCEED 43 MPH. I DROVE IT HOME ABOUT 3 MILES. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURNED OFF & RESTARTED THE TRUCK ALL ERROR CODES WERE GONE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE, BUT I AM STILL TAKING IT TO THE DEALER MONDAY TO BE SAFE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL, BUT I COULD NOT FIND ONE FOR MY VEHICLE. EVERYONE THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE TRUCKS SHOULD BE INFORMED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IF PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THERE WILL BE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THESE BRAKE FAILURES. NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM FROM A CHEVY.

SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST SERVICE ESC *TR

AFTER PARKING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. A WARNING ON THE SCREEN SAID SOMETHING TO THE AFFECT...BRAKE ABOVE 62 MILES FAILURE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I STARTED DRIVING AND NOTICED NO BRAKE PRESSURE. PRESSED BRAKE HARD, ALL THE WAY, THEN TRUCK STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. I CHECKED FOR BREAK FLUID LEAK UNDER THE TRUCK, NO LEAKS. I OPENED THE HOOD, NO LEAKS NOTED. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED IT AGAIN. SAME THING...NO BREAKS. BREAK WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I FINALLY CALLED A TOW TRUCK FOR REPAIR.

AFTER HAVING FOG LIGHTS PROGRAMED AT THE DEALER, LOST BRAKE ASSIST ON THE WAY HOME AT LAST LEFT TURN AND TRUCK TOOK LONGER TO STOP BEFORE THE TURN THEN NORMAL ON A CITY STREET SPEED ABOUT 45MPH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CHECKED CODES AT HOME FOUND 4, P25A2 BRAKE SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE REQUESTED MIL ILLUMINATION U0101 LOST COMM WITH TCM, U0100 LOST COMM WITH ECM/PCM AND U0146 LOST COMM WITH GATEWAY A. TOOK TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS FOUND AND CODES WERE CLEARED.

2020 SILVERADO LT WITH ONLY 4660 MILES WAS PARKED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVE WAY WHERE OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON HAD SPENT THE NIGHT WITH A FRIEND. HE STARTED THE TRUCK TO LEAVE AND IMMEDIATELY HAD SEVERAL ALARMS; BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, DRIVE NO FASTER THAN 62 MPH, SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE, SERVICE ESC. HE TRIED TO EASE OUT OF THE DRIVE TO TEST BRAKES, ABOUT 5-10 MPH; HE HAD NO BRAKES, ZERO BRAKES! HE ROLLED TO THE EDGE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS HE STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AND ALARMS WERE CLEARED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE LED TO MUCH WORSE ENDING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, WE FOUND THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND GM HAS DONE 2 RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM YET IF YOU AREN'T AWARE OF IT, YOU, YOUR FAMILY OR OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS COULD BE KILLED BECAUSE GM AND THE NHTSA HAVE NOT MOVED STRONGLY ENOUGH TO WARN OWNERS, THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONWIDE 'DO NOT DRIVE' ALERT ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY TO SEE HOW TO PROCEED AND OUR SON WILL NOT RISK HIS LIFE IN THIS TRUCK AGAIN. NO BRAKES AND NO EMERGENCY BRAKE!! WOULD GM'S CEO LET THEIR 17 YEAR OLD DRIVE THESE DANGEROUS TRUCKS? THE NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE DIRE ACTION ON THIS, LOOK AT YOUR OWN WEBSITE AT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM! MY ATTORNEY READ YOUR SITE AND HE SAYS YOU ALL CAN'T DENY KNOWING THE PROBLEM EXIST, TAKE ACTION BEFORE DRIVERS DIE. GM AND NHTSA ARE BEING NEGLIGENT ON THIS AND I WILL GLADLY TESTIFY IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WILL BE SOME. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND IMMEDIATELY ADVISE ALL DRIVERS OF 2019-2020 CHEVY SILVERADOS TO STOP DRIVING THEIR NEW $40,000 TRUCKS AND CALL A LOCAL DEALER TO COME GET IT. DRIVERS WHO READ THIS PLEASE BE ADVISED, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOME GM DRIVER WILL DIE BECAUSE OF THIS BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN TRAFFIC BEGAN TO BUILD UP. AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN I NOTICED AN EXTENDED DELAY IN STOPPING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AT THIS POINT AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. I THEN EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT A LOCAL GROCERY STORE. I STARTED MY VEHICLE BACK UP AND BEGAN DRIVING TO SCHOOL. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH AND IT WAS THEN THAT MY VEHICLE ALARM WENT OFF AND SCREEN ADVISED THAT MY BRAKES HAD FAILED. I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE AND HAD NO BRAKES. I THEN PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD. MY TRUCK SLOWED ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IT INTO MY SCHOOL'S PARKING LOT. I THEN ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY PARKING BREAK AND NOTIFIED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.

RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 1035 ODOMETER MILES. ON 3/6/20, BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET-PEDAL WENT SOFT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, A C/S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. DROVE DIRECTLY TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE OF RECALL PRIOR TO THE BRAKE FAILURE. REPAIRING DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT REPAIR WAS PERFORMED UNDER CHEVROLET'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. RECEIVED POSTCARD NOTIFICATION OF RECALL FROM PURCHASE DEALERSHIP ON 3/25/20.

PURCHASED VEHICLE 2/20/20 LEFT BROKEN VEHICLE AT DEALER SAME DAY. DROVE APPROX 40 MILES NO ISSUES. THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE APPEARED IN DRIVERS MESSAGE WINDOW, GOING APPROX 50MPH. RETURNED TO DEALER THEY RESET FAULT AND CLAIMED FAULT OR ISSUES WAS CAUSED BY SOFTWARE LOADING. REPORTED TRUCK AS GOOD. DEPARTED AND DROVE 2.5 MILES PARKED AT STORE THEN BACKED OUT OF PARKING SPOT AND FAULT AND SAME MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN WHILE BACKING AT 2 MPH. RETURNED TO DEALER THEY HAVE TRUCK IN THEIR POSSESSION. GAVE ME NEW TRUCK TO DRIVE HOME. AFTER RETURNING HOME SEARCHED FOR ISSUE AND FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A 3 MODEL YEAR ISSUE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND NOT BE ALLOWING TO SELL PRODUCTS WITH THE BRAKING SAFETY DEFECTS.
