General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

IN A PARKING GARAGE AND TRYING TO MANEUVER INTO A PARKING STALL. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD. THE ABS LIGHT FLASHED MOMENTARILY AND WENT OUT. THERE WERE NO POWER BRAKES AND VERY LITTLE EFFECT TO STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. CONTINUED TO HAVE NO OR LIMITED BRAKES. WENT ON TO ANOTHER PARKING STALL WHERE NO ONE ELSE AROUND. CREPT INTO SPOT. WHEN ARRIVED BACK FROM TRIP, BRAKES WERE FINE. CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP FREE OF CHARGE. HAS ONLY HAPPENED 2 TIMES SINCE THEM. ALL IN PARKING LOTS AT VERY LOW SPEEDS.

I WAS DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER I HAD NO LIGHTS NO STEERING NO BREAKS AND THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON THIS IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS RESEARCH IT AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE
Service brakes, Jul 13, 2020
WHEN SWITCH FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND MOVE FORWARD THAN STEP ON BREAKS IT'S GETS HARDER AND DON'T STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO IT'S HAPPEN TO ME ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC AND IT'S COME TO STOP AND SLOWLY MOVING THE VEHICLE MY BRAKES WAS TOO HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE , I ALMOST GOING TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE.
Service brakes, Jul 11, 2020
I DROVE ALMOST 5 HRS AWAY TO TAKE MY FAMILY ON A VACATION AND WHEN I PULLED INTO THE HOTEL I ALMOST COULDNT STOP AND NOTICED MY PARKING ASSIST SERVICE WAS ON ON THE DASH. I TRIED BACKING UP AND I ALMOST COULD NOT STOP FROM BACKING INTO ANOTHER CAR. AND IT KEEPS DOING IT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. THE BRAKES ARE HARD TO PUSH AND IT FEELS LIKE ARE PALPATATING AND ALSO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS UNDER MY BRAKE BC IT BARELY PUSHES IN.

TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL ON BRAKES. DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE. BRAKES STILL EXHIBIT PROBLEMS. BRAKES BECOME MUSHY AT LOW SPEED AFTER APPLYING BRAKES GENTLY, THEN MOVING FORWARD SLIGHTLY AT LOW SPEED BRAKES SEEM TO COLLAPSE AND EXHIBIT A LOW GRUMBLING NOISE. PADS AND ROTORS ARE GOOD, SO NOT THE ISSUE. IT LEAVES ME WONDERING IF RECALL WAS DONE OR DONE CORRECTLY. *TR
Service brakes, May 13, 2020
USUALLY AFTER MORE THAN ONE STOP WHEN MOVING LESS THAN 5 MPH WITH FOOT OF THE GAS (LIKE WHEN PARKING) BREAK PEDAL REQUIRES EXTREME PRESSURE TO STOP VEHICLE.THIS AFTER BRAKE SOFTWARE WAS RE-PROGRAMMED DURING A RECALL. WHEN BACKING A 6000 LB TRAILER (WITHOUT ELECTRIC BRAKES TRAILER HAS HYDRAULIC SURGE BRAKES) DOWN A HILL IT BECOMES DANGEROUS! TO BACK A TRAILER DOWN A HILL YOU MUST PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, USE YOUR RIGHT FOOT TO KEEP THE ENGINE RPM UP AND BRAKE WITH YOUR RIGHT FOOT. THIS ALLOWS THE VACUUM PUMP TO SUPPLY ENOUGH VACUUM FOR THE POWER BRAKES TO WORK COMBINE THIS WITH WATCHING AND GUIDING THE TRAILER AND IT CAUSES EXTREME WORRY. IF YOU DON;T KEEP THE ENGINE RPM UP TO PRODUCE VACUUM YOU CANNOT SAFELY THE TRAILER, IT WILL TRAVEL MUCH FURTHER BEFORE STOPPING AND REQUIRE A MASSIVE EFFORT ON THE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I LAUNCH MY BOAT IN 2019. TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 51000 MILES ON IT. OTHER THAN THE BRAKES IT HAS BEEN PROBLEM FREE. *TR
Service brakes, May 3, 2020
WHEN STOPPING VEHICLE THE BREAK PEDAL HAS BEEN VIBRATING AND GOING TO THE FLOOR FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS USUALLY RESOLVES AFTER A FEW MINUTES. HOWEVER TODAY THE BREAK PEDAL VIBRATED AND WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HAS NOT COME BACK UP. THIS IS NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO STOP IN REVERSE OR FORWARD MOTION. WHEN PUT IN REVERSE AND THEN PRESSURE APPLIED TO BREAK THE PEDAL APPEARS TO STAY ON THE FLOOR OF TRUCK. WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE THE PEDAL WILL HAVE SOME PRESSURE BEHIND IT BUT THEN WILL ABRUPTLY GO TO FLOOR AND NOT ALLOW TRUCK TO STOP. THIS OCCURRED BEFORE THE LAST BREAK RECALL ON THIS TRUCK. RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. THERE IS ADEQUATE BREAK FLUID IN RESERVOIR AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE LEAKING. BREAK PADS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS SEEMS TO BE EITHER AN INTERNAL COMPUTER ISSUE OR AND ISSUE WITH THE BREAK PEDAL ITSELF. THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED.
Service brakes, May 2, 2020
BRAKE PEDAL TURNED ROCK SOLID. VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY. ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR APPROACHING THE STOP LIGHT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THE VACUUM PUMP ASAP. IT'S DANGEROUS!

YESTERDAY I STARTED UP MY TRUCK AND A BRAKE SERVICE MESSAGE APPEARED, WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND WENT DOWN THE STREET THE BRAKES WERE MUSH, THEY WERE ALMOST UNRESPONSIVE AT THE LOW SPEED I WAS GOING. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ALMOST THE FLOOR AT THE STOP AND HEARD A LOUD GROWLING SOUND FROM EITHER UNDERTAKE HOOD OR THE WHEELS. SO WHAT EVER THEY WORK DID FOR THE RECALL NOTICE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR RECALLS FOR THIS 2016 TRUCK.

SILVERADO 1500. WHILE MOVING AT SLOW SPEED, LIKE IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU, THE BRAKES WILL SOMETIMES GET REAL HARD TO PUSH PETAL TO BRING VEHICLE TO STOP. IT HAPPENS IN REVERSE MOVING SLOW AND ITS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN I'M BACKING BOAT IN BOAT RAMP AND THE BRAKES FAIL TO A POINT THAT I HAVE TO STAND ON THE PETAL AND ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE SO I DON'T LOSE MY TRUCK AND TRAILER INTO THE WATER. I HAPPENED ONCE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO BUT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN TIL A MARCH 1 AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

I EXPERIENCED A HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEED WITH MINIMAL STOPPING PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE BEING RECALLED FOR THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP ISSUE THAT WAS TO REPROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED IN EARLY DECEMBER 2019 AND SINCE THE RECALL I'VE EXPERIENCED THE HARD BRAKE PEDAL WITH INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE SEVERAL TIMES AT LOW SPEED AND IN ONE PARTICULAR INSTANCE A TRAILER WAS IN TOW AS I WAS MANEUVERING INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE RECALL IN MY OPINION WAS NOT THE ACTUAL SOLUTION TO A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

2 BRAKE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS. 1.) BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY (SLOPED DOWNHILL)AT LOW SPEED, I HEAR THE THE VEHICLES ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGE. CAUSING SLOW STOPPING DISTANCE. IT DOES NOT TRIGGER ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. 2.) WHILE BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPACE, VEHICLES BRAKE PEDAL BECAME ROCK HARD AND HAD TO USE GREAT PRESSURE WITH BOTH FEET TO STOP VEHICLE. I PUT IT IN DRIVE JUST TO SEE ANY DIFFERENCE- SAME ROCK HARD PEDAL. PARKED, SHUT VEHICLE OFF, AND WENT INTO RESTAURANT. AFTER AN HOUR INSIDE, RETURNED TO VEHICLE TO GO HOME. BRAKE PEDAL WAS BACK TO NORMAL.

I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY HELP I COULD GET WAS IF I DROVE MY TRUCK 80 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE I WOULD PROBABLY END UP STRANDED AS THEY ALSO WOULD NOT COVER ANY RENTAL VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION, AFTER CALLING THIS AUTHORIZED DEALER DIRECTLY, THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE MY SERVICE FOR AT LEAST 3-4 WEEKS FROM NOW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE A VALID AND VERIFIED RECALL FOR A SAFETY HAZARD AND MY ONLY OPTION IS TO "DRIVE IT AND TRY NOT TO CRASH (WITH MY CHILDREN- AND THEN FIGURE OUT MY OWN RIDE 80 MILES BACK TO MY HOME AND THEN BE CAR-LESS FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG??)

APPROACHING INTERSECTION STOP LIGHT, TRIED TO APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR NO BRAKES AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP BUT STILL HAD COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REVIEWED THE BRAKES IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLT WAS MISSING WHICH ALLOWED THE CALIPER TO ROTATE OFF OF THE ROTOR AND CLEAR THE PISTON FROM THE ROTOR SURFACE AND THEN THE PISTON WAS FORCED OUT OF THE CYLINDER AND LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID RESULTED.

LOST VACUUM ON BRAKES AT LOW SPEED OR STOPPED. WAS INFORMED BY CHEVEROLET DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART I NEED IS ON BACKORDER AND COULD NOT BE FIXED AT THIS TIME. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO BE UNSAFE EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING SO MANY ISSUES WITH IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE PART NEEDED TO KEEP MY TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME SIGN SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE WITH MY TRUCK. THANKS YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE.

TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE RECALL BECAUSE I WAS EXPERIENCING LOSS OF BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. I WOULD PRIMARILY SEE THIS WHEN STUCK IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC OR BACKING MY TRUCK UP TO THE TRAILER.....ETC. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL WHICH THEY SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED AND FIXED. WELL 2 MONTHS LATER I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE THE OTHER DAY AND IT WOULDN'T STOP WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT MY DIRT BIKES SITTING IN FRONT OF ME. ANOTHER TIME I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND CAME TO COMPLETE STOP THEN I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND THEN PRESSED THEM AGAIN AND WHEN I DID THIS I HAD TO MASH IT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ABS WERE LOCKING UP OR MAKING A NOISE. I CAME SO CLOSE TO HITTING A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSS WALK. SO IN ALL SINCE THE "FIX" 2 MONTHS AGO I HAVE HAD THEM FAIL AND HIT SOMETHING IN MY GARAGE, AND 2 VERY CLOSE CALLS OF ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SINCE ABOUT 15K MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND CURRENTLY I HAVE 55K ON IT.
