2015 Chevrolet Tahoe Brakes

OCTOBER 8, 2019 WAS TAKING OFF IN TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH. THE TRAFFIC STOPPED, ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND PEDAL FELT HARD. REAR END COLLISION OCCURRED WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING REAR DAMAGE TO THAT VEHICLE AND FRONT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT A LOW SPEED AND COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED WITHOUT A COLLISION. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER ON JANUARY 10TH. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOST BUT SAID THE PEDAL WAS STILL HARD AND THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE MECHANICAL VACUUM OUTPUT. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER BUT THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME BECAUSE OF SAFETY RISKS YET I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR MONTHS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ALL RECALLS REVIEWED ARE SUGGESTIVE IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM NOT A MANDATORY REPAIR. WHY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A CRASH LIKE I DID?? ONCE RESEARCHED THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MONTHS WITH 3 ASSOCIATED RECALLS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, NEEDS TO BE MANDATORY REMEDIED. MY VEHICLE DAMAGE WAS SET TO BE REPAIRED NEXT WEEK BUT NOW IT HAS TO BE CANCELLED BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE IN POSSESSION.

THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING; I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN AND AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH AND SLOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES TO TRY AND REGAIN SOME KIND OF BRAKING AND THE ABS SYSTEM TRIED TO KICK IN BUT WAS ONLY PARTIALLY AFFECTIVE AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP AFTER I CROSSED THE INTERSECTION AND RAN OVER A CURB.

BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AT LOW SPEED WHEN GOING FROM TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TRAFFIC LIGHT OR EVEN IN TRAFFIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND PULLING A CAMPER, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ALSO APPLIED THE CAMPER BRAKE. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED AFTER APPLYING EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE VEHICLE AND CAMPER BRAKES. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT VISITED COLORADO SPRINGS CHEVROLET (670 AUTOMOTIVE DR, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80905, (719) 387-1072) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW VACUUM PUMP WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT BOUGHT THE PUMP AND INSTALLED IT THEMSELVES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKING ABILITY AT LOW SPEED. IT FIRST OCCURRED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND COULD NOT BE PUSHED IN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS IS A RESULT OF A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP AFTER A WEB SEARCH HAS TURNED UP THAT THIS SITUATION IS HAPPENING QUITE FREQUENTLY TO OTHER OWNERS AND THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUITE FILED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

AT LOW SPEEDS BRAKES FAIL. WHEN YOU PRESS BRAKES THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. I HAVE TO PUT BOTH MY FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP.

WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YESTERDAY FOR THE RECENT BRAKE SYSTEM RECALL. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES FOR AWHILE BUT JUST HADN'T TAKEN IT IN. AND THEN WE HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL SO WE TOOK IT IN BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THE SAME ISSUE WE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING. I CAN SAY THAT THEIR 'FIX' OF REPROGRAMMING THE SOFTWARE DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN MOVING SLOW OR GOING FROM FROWARD TO REVERSE WHEN PARKING, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO PUSH. I HAVE TO PUT ALL MY WEIGHT ON THE PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP. THERE IS NO GIVE EITHER WAY. HARD AS A ROCK. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

RECALLED ISSUED BY DEALER IN SEPTEMBER 2019. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE ON 10/21/2019. RECALL # N192268490. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ON 9/13/2019 BY A 3RD PARTY. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT SINCE I REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BEFORE I WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE I HAD THE REPAIR WORK DONE BY A 3RD PARTY AND NOT A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP I WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED. IS THERE ANY OTHER RECOURSE FOR REIMBURSEMENT OR PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE?

MY BRAKES FAILED IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WHEN TRYING TO MERGE OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED THEN COASTING AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. GOT TOWED TO DEALER FOR GM RECALL N192268490. RECALL WAS PERFORMED. BRAKES FAILED 45 MILES LATER WHEN SLOWLY BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY. THE FAULTY PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IS KNOWN TO DAMAGE THE VACUUM PUMP YET CHEVROLET HAS ONLY RECALLED THE PROGRAM AND NOT THE VACUUM PUMP. I FILED A CASE WITH CHEVROLET MONDAY 10/14/19 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL IN 1 TO 2 BUSINESS DAYS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE TODAY WHO SAID THE SENIOR SERVICE ADVISOR IS SCHEDULED TO CALL ME AT 9PM FRIDAY 9/18/19. MY GRANDSON AND I WAITED OVER 3 HOURS FOR OUR ONSTAR TOW AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED BY THE FEAR HE EXPERIENCED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST CAME ON AND VEHICLE IS VERY HARD TO STOP EVEN WHEN APPLYING ENORMOUS PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS ACCRUES AT LOWER SPEEDS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE CONSUMER.

LOST ALL BRAKE BOOST WHILE BACKING A BOAT DOWN A STEEP BOAT RAMP. WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT I'M SURE A SMALLER PERSON (LIKE MY WIFE) WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP. I NOW UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON, KNOWN GM PROBLEM.

WHILE BACKING UP THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT NOTICED THE BREAKS WHERE NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT AND PUMPING TO STOP, CONTINUED TO NOTICE A GREAT EFFORT AND DISTANCE TO STOP AND BREAKS NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING DUE TO A FAULTY BREAK PUMP PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER'S ERROR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE COMPLETE LOST OF BREAKS. TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BREAK PUMP FOR $526.

WHILE GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND LOCKS UP RESULTING IN THE BRAKES NOT WORKING AT ALL. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, PARKING LOTS, AND DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT LINES AS WELL AS ALMOST CAUSING ME TO ROLL THROUGH RED LIGHTS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY OVER THE PAST YEAR (2018) AND HAS RECENTLY BECAME MORE COMMON.

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES GRABBED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOULEVARD BUICK (2800 CHERRY AVE, SIGNAL HILL, CA 90755, (562) 492-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND A WHEEL BALANCE WAS NEEDED.

2015 CHEVY TAHOE, WE PURCHASED TWO MONTHS AGO STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. I WAS TURNING AROUND IN THE DRIVEWAY, HIT THE BRAKES, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULDN'T MOVE. IT WAS EXTREMELY STIFF, CAUSING ME TO CRASH THE VEHICLE INTO MY UTILITY TRAILER. I PUSHED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS ALMOST NO BRAKING PRESSURE AT ALL AND MY SUV JUST KEPT GOING. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY BUT NOW EVERYONE IS SCARED TO RIDE IN IT. I'VE FINANCED A VEHICLE FOR YEARS THAT I'VE HAD POSESSION OF FOR MONTHS, AND IT'S MOST NESSCERY SAFTEY FUNCTION HAS FAILED. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED GM VEHICLES. AS A 31 YEAR OLD FATHER OF 3 SMALL CHILDREN, THIS WAS A VERY LARGE PURCHASE FOR OUR YOUNG FAMILY. NOW I FEEL I MAY HAVE TO LOOK OUTSIDE MY TRUSTED BRAND TO FIND A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN TRANSPORT THE MOST PRECIOUS CARGO IN. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING . I THEN FIND OUT THIS EXACT ISSUE HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE CRASHES INVOLVING INJURIES. GM IS AWARE THIS IS A PROBLEM, LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED, YET LITTLE OR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. HOW CAN GENERAL MOTORS KNOWINGLY TURN A BLIND EYE AND ALLOW THIS LIFE THREATING SAFTEY ISSUE TO GO ON IN A VEHICLE MARKETED TO FAMILIES?

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A NEAR SUDDEN DETERIORATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF WITH LITTLE OR NO TRAVEL IN PEDAL REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED. THIS DETERIORATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE BECAME CRITICAL - REQUIRING ALL THE FORCE MY 100LB WIFE COULD MUSTER TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE STIFF PEDAL WAS OBVIOUS WITH THE CAR ON AND OFF, MOVING AND STATIONARY. THOUGH THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AND WAS RECOGNIZED ONLY AFTER THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON I84 (AT 65 MPH!!). OUR MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE VACUUM PUMP AS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

AT LOW SPEEDS, OR IDLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. LOSS OF POWER BOOST RESULTING IN EXTREME EFFORT TO ACTIVATE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE STUCK IN A TRAFFIC JAM TRAVELLING AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. PROBLEM LASTED UNTIL TRAFFIC RETURNED TO NORMAL SPEED, WHEN BRAKING RETURNED TO NORMAL. I BELIEVE I HAVE THE SAME VACUUM PUMP PROBLEM BEING CITED BY OTHER OWNERS.

WHEN TRAVELING SLOW, LIKE PULLING INTO GARAGE, BRAKES WILL OCCASSIONALLY LOSE POWER MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HAVE ALMOST BACKED INTO A CAR BECAUSE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. HAVE SEEN ON HERE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO I WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS HAPPENING WITH OUR TAHOE AS WELL. ALSO OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN YOU HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKES. SEEMS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST, BUT MOST RECENTLY ON 03/06/19 WHILE PULLING IT INTO THE GARAGE.

PULLING INTO GARAGE AT LOW SPEED AND BRAKES DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WAS REQUIRED TO STOP. I PRESSED WITH BOTH FEET AND BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP BEFORE CRASHING INTO THE HOUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.
