2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 — Complaint #1558517
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES filed April 16, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558517 (ODI reference 11196789) concerns a 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 and was filed on April 16, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 11, 2017. The vehicle had 83,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 cohort independently describe similar service brakes failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
IN DECEMBER 2018 WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, BRAKES WERE APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ABOUT HALFWAY THEN BECAME "HARD." THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A "CLICKING" NOISE. WHEN CAR ROLLED TO A STOP I STARTED MOVING AGAIN AND REAPPLIED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT ON APRIL 11, 2017. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 83,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS ACCORDING TO THEIR PIT5361D. HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT GM RECENTLY PUBLISHED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY WARRANTY THE FIX UP TO 72,000 MILES. I HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR COMPLETED YET.
