“While reversing out f a parking spot, the brake pedal locked up and wouldn't move and I kept rolling. I let off and pushed the pedal again and they worked. Started my truck the next morning and "brake system failure" appeared on the dash.”

“While driving home multiple lights,messages and sounds came on the dashboard. I stepped on the brake and there were no brakes. I put vehicle in neutral and pumped brakes a few times. I was not traveling that fast so the vehicle stopped before I hit the person in front of me. I drove 10 mpg with my hazards on to the nearest gas station. I called Chevy service and they sent a tow truck N/C to bring to the dealer.”

“Was on a trip and on the highway home the service break lights came on. By the time we got home(less than 200 miles) the breaks where scraping the calipers. Truck only had 25,586 miles on it when they picked it up to take to the shop. Dealership had to replace the break pads, calipers and rotor on the front driver side.”

“I purchased this truck new in March of 2024, in May I was at a Starbucks drive-thru and lost all brakes. While slowing down at the window the pedal went to the floor and my dash light up like a Christmas tree. I pulled into a parking spot and shut the truck off for about 5 minutes. When I turned the truck back on the lights were gone and the truck seemed fine, so I drove home. The next day I was picking up my kids from school when in the pickup line the same issue happened. I lost my brakes, the dash lit up, and the truck started rolling forward in the pickup line. I had to push on the brake pedal as hard as I could to make the truck stop. I called the dealer and had the truck taken there. The truck was there for several days and I was told the master cylinder and brake control module were replaced. I’m reporting this now, because I saw that this is part of a larger issue being reported and I wanted my experience memorialized to help others.”
