2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Brakes

Starting vehicle in parking lot and backing out of parking space. Brakes failed and truck continued to roll backwards almost hitting a pedestrian. I was able to stop hard on the pedal and stop the vehicle. This has happened several times. I have a steep driveway and backing down to the street the brake pedal will unexpectedly have little resistance and the truck will continue to roll into the street almost hitting oncoming traffic.

Brake pedal pivot nut came loose and fell off while driving.

I've had problems with the brakes for several years, the pedal is very hard at low speed. I've seen a recall but not on my car???

"NHTSA campaign: 19V645000 AS the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash." Our vehicle was serviced and repaired for this problem under the recall on 9/6/2019, however, it is now happening again. Is there a second recall for this problem, and/or what can be done to remedy the defective equipment?

upon applying brake pedal at low speeds the brake is hard to depress and "choppy" in reacting. this seems same as N192268490 Increased Brake Pedal Effort yet the gmc denali is not apparently in the recall. This has happened on several occassions.

The brake system failed in a parking lot three times within a month. It’s related to the special policy and recall regarding the vacuum and the loss of brakes at slower speeds and in reverse. The first two accidents were very minor creating no damage. The third one was at 10mph when I lost my brakes and crashed into a concrete barrier in a parking structure causing significant damage to my truck. I did not get injured but I have a wife and two kids that I am so grateful were not in the truck for the third one with major damage. With that being said my son was in the truck the second time it happened when I crashed into a parked vehicle in a parking lot because I was unable to stop which made me very frustrated and worried for my families safety in my truck. The first accident was in a parking lot where I was backing up and lost the brakes and crashed into a building which is my veterinary office causing damage to the building. Therefore after the first crash due to this issue I have decided that driving with my family in the truck is not an option anymore. It is very disappointing that a truck I purchased for the functionality and safety of having my wife and kids in it is no longer safe for passengers or myself in it. This problem is very reproducible and is a major concern for my family and my safety. It was towed to a GMC dealership in Waukesha and is being inspected and they have stated it is reproducible. No warning lamps or messages were indicated for this issue. The truck will next need to get towed to Crash Champions auto body repair to ultimately get repaired which will take another month. All of this is a major inconvenience as I am a full time firefighter and in paramedic school as well. Not having a reliable safe vehicle for an extended period of time has caused great stress and inconvenience to my family. I’m hoping and praying that something can be done about this quickly and promptly to make this right. Thank you.

Brakes fail at low speeds

I was driving pulling an empty small U-Haul trailer and attempted to pull in to a fuel station when my brake became impossible to depress. I barely was able to miss hitting gas pumps and ran down into a ditch before the truck stopped. I informed the dealership where I had just purchased this truck used. I took it to their service department and I was told there was no issues with the brakes. They had to have this recall bulletin in their computer system yet failed to make me aware or to perform this recall or report it to GM. The problem continues to worsen to the point I am scared to drive it. I almost rear ended another car at a stoplight yesterday because I was unable to depress the brake pedal. I stood on the brake and heard an electronic sound but finally came to a stop.

Intermittently with slow driving such as parking maneuvers or creeping slow traffic at stop lights the brake pedal becomes very soft and depresses much more than normal and the brake action is decreased. Sometimes with this soft pedal it sounds like ABS is engaging. Pumping pedal sometimes restores brake performance.

low speed truck brake pedal becomes stiff and truck is hard to stop

The brake vacuum pump is failing. When in a parking lot the brakes get very hard al.ist causing an accident. There is no vacuum when trying to park in parking lot. The 2015 GMC Sierra had a recall for this but my VIN did not. Not sure why as it's failing too. I need my truck so will have it fixed today, but want a recall.

Constant “service trailer brakes” warning on dash. I Haven’t done anything to cause it.

In several occasions my brake when approaching stop sign or light and I hit my brakes more than once it goes to the floor and it become difficult to stop without having to push very hard on the brake pedal. It does it almost every time.

Brake pedal effort is increased, pedal gets hard and vehicle is hard to stop. Happens at slow speed. intermittently.

Hard break peddle at low speeds, break booster issue

Trailer brake service alarm. Replaced module under stair tire and dash board. Still in alarm, internet says it’s a common problem with wiring harness failure. Many others have some problem.

When braking at low speeds I have no brakes to stop and i can feel a vibration in the brake pedal.

Brake pedal is hard to push at low speeds

At low speeds , like parking it lost all brakes. I have noticed a few times since the first. I see they had a recall for the brake vacumm pump but I cant find much on it

My truck has just over 54,000 miles on it. I bought it new and have treated it well. It's my "Sunday" truck. Without warning, yesterday while carrying my wife to a doctor's appointment, as I pulled into a parking space to park ... I had almost no brakes. I actually jumped on the emergency brake to aid me in getting stopped. After my wife had gone in for her appointment, I slowly moved the truck around the open areas of the parking lot trying to figure out what the problem was. I checked the brake fluid, looked to make sure I hadn't lost a brake pad or something else weird and found that everything was good. What I did find though was that the only time the truck had any issue was when I was moving under maybe 4 or 5 mph. And in fairness ... I discovered the truck did have some tiny (but I do mean tiny) amount of braking ability at that low speed, but to say that the experience was unnerving would be a terrible understatement. Had someone been standing between me and the vehicle I was parking in front of when I experienced this, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would have pinned them between our vehicles, or God forbid, something worse. I don't know what's going on here, but there's definitely something going on with the brake system at low speed on this GMC.

Brake vacuum fail, causing the brake pedal to become stiff and unable to stop the vehicle. This issue has been on the recall for the same year and make of truck as mine, yet mine is not eligible for this recall repair? Please help Thank you
