2014 gmc sierra vacuum pump failure at 81,201 miles. This seems to be an epidemic with these trucks. I tow an 8,000 pound trailer and to think the truck brakes could potentially not work is insanity. How does gm make the steering electric on this truck and put electric vacuum pumps on the camaro's and corvettes but decides to put a mechanical vacuum pump on the trucks? This is an immediate safety defect that needs…

I had my truck towed to my mechanic and my vacuum pump had to be replaced. Which that is part of my breaking system. The reason i'm making this…

At slow speed backing into a parking spot the break pedal turned really hard to press to stop the truck, it took a lot of force to stop it; shifted the truck into neutral to prevent hitting a pole, shifted the truck back to drive the truck was still showing the same problem the vehicle brake system was useless (unsafe) shifted back into neutral as pedestrians were walking by and used the emergency brake to stop the…

Drove my vehicle about 15 miles and parked it in a parking lot for about 10 minutes. When i returned and backed out of the parking space the brake pedal would not compress much at all unless i pushed on it with some body weight for leverage and only then the vehicle barely stopped - was travelling at a very low speed but still very hard to stop the vehicle. I tried to pump the brake pedal, then carefully moved the…

Sunday, january 30, 2018 the dash displayed power assist limited and also displayed abs light . Service engine soon, so we brought it to the dealership again. This time the vehicle was revving high but no display. The…

No warning of brake failure especially when backing down a hill at low r.p.m with a boat trailer. This is a very dangerous problem that needs to be addressed a.s.a.p. No warning lights were displayed and no issues before this happened. I'm just glad it was me and not someone else ( wife ) backing us in the water. Please address this as a very serious issue. Someone could have lost their life

The problem has occurred twice in the last week. Both times in normal driving conditions and good weather conditions. While pulling in my driveway at low speed when i pushed on the brake pedal it was hard and would barely depress. There was no power assisted braking and it took me pressing as hard as possible with both feet to get my truck stopped before i hit my garage. This happened again when i was trailering my…

At slow speeds the brake pedal becomes " flat" that is to say there is no travel or give in it and you must apply 110% force to get the vehicle to stop. I almost drove thru the garage door at the local jiffy lube dealer. Had the local gmc dealer look at it & he could not find a solution to the problem.

Service Brakes
When applying brakes at low speed like pulling out of driveway or away from a gas pump. If the brakes are pumped or pressed hard the brake pedal gives strong resistance and the truck will not stop. In order to stop the truck the emergency brake needs to be applied. The problem is worsened if on a downward incline when taking the truck out of the park position and moving into drive while holding foot on the brake.
