| Warped front rotors both wheels. while driving going down a hill, the steering whell would start shaking. i am a retired master mechanic with over 30 years expierence specializing in brakes. i took my vehicle to the dealer 4 times with this complaint. the dealer could not duplicate the complaint because of not test driving down a hill. test drive was on a flat surface. problem only occurs while driving down a hill. i was worried about safety after so many service visits, i finally called general motors in detroit to file a complaint. general motors replaced the rotors as a goodwill gesture. the problem has not re-occured after rotor replacement. | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that everytime he depressed the brake pedal, the headlights would turn off and then turn back on. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership about twenty times but the dealer was not sure how to repair the problem and stated that it was normal because of a new charging system. the contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. the vin was unavailable when the complaint was filed. the current mileage was approximately 38,000. the failure mileage was approximately 19,000-bk | |||

| The brake pedal back pressure is weak, spongy or soft when applied. the brake pedal goes to floor board further than normal/ traditional of all manufacturer vehicle models through out past decades of production. have to pump this vehicles brake pedal more than twice in order to obtain sufficient brake pedal pressure necessary to achieve control of vehicle's brakes. for unexpected braking, the current braking system on 1500 silverado chevrolets is inadequate for the average driver which possibly will result with harm to others and vehicle. | |||

| Not much for brakes on the initial push of the pedal but if you pump them up they are good. really bad in a emergency stop or when you have a light trailer on that doesn't require separate brakes on trailer. i had it both on 1500 4x4 08gmc and on the same 09 chevy i have now. *tr | |||
