NHTSA complaint: 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 — SERVICE BRAKES
type: Event
additional type: https://schema.org/AccidentReport
start date: 2018-09-22
description: MY BRAKES DO NOT PROPERLY FUNCTION IN WET WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE BRAKE PETAL BECOMES EXTREMELY STIFF, AS IF THERE IS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STOPPING POWER. WHILE JAMMING THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I CAN, THE PADS NEVER MAKE SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. I HAVE ALREADY DAMAGED MY BUMPER BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK DURING HEAVY RAINS. WHILE PRESSING MY BREAK PETAL, I NOTICED THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER. I COULD NOT STOP IN TIME, COLLIDING WITH THE PARKING BARRIER POLE. THE LOSS OF STOPPING POWER HAPPENS ROUTINELY DURING RAIN.
