2015 Chevrolet SUBURBAN 1500 - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"hard breaking at slow speeds. risk of accident to pedestrian and to vehicle and to structure. this problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by dealer. this problem has not been inspected by manufacturer or police or insurance no warning lights prior to problem.."

"when trying to brake while parking in a parking spot at low speeds, or so and go traffic my wife and i experience an extremely hard brake pedal that creeps to a stop, almost hitting others and structures."

"brakes failed and became hard to press down on it and would not stop vehicle."

"i have a 2015 chevrolet suburban that had an issue with the brakes not wanting to stop the vehicle at slow speeds. several times when we pulled into our garage or a parking space the vehicle would want to glide instead of stopping. i've had several parts replaced and am now hoping the problem is fixed. just picked the car up today from repair shop."

"vehicle is very hard to stop there was a recall which was performed in 2019 and it’s coming back and doing the same thing it takes a lot of brake pedal pressure to stop the vehicle. it started some time ago but now it’s getting very hard to stop the car"

"brakes became very hard to apply and the car could not stop quickly. needed to replace the vacuum booster pump."

"the vehicle component of concern is the braking system. the brake pedal has to be pressed at an unusual rate of pressure to engage the brake system. more concerning is, on several occasions the brakes seem to fail, initiating the abs system while in fast food lines. this has also occurred while backing up causing the pedal to be jammed to the floor to stop the vehicle. the excessive need for pressure while braking was supposed to be fixed in 2021 by a "simple" recall that simply updated the computer. i had this recall performed, but still have the same braking issues in my 2015 chevrolet suburban. i feel that this is a very serious concern and should be addressed. the difference is truly night and day between my wife's vehicle and mine. the braking issue comes with no warnings or alarms. i have had my brakes checked on several occasions to confirm normal brake wear and longevity."

"brake pedal got hard and truck didn’t stop until brake pedal got softer, this been happened few occasions."

"after about 10 min idling vehicle, noticed “service brake assist” message. when it was time to pull out onto road, the vehicle did not brake as expected. i had to push much harder on brake pedal, and heard clicking noise. i was in front of the middle school and because the vehicle was going very slow i was able to stop, but could have had an accident if the speed was higher or if i wasn’t strong enough to push pedal harder. this happened today 2/25/2022 and the outside temp is 3f. this seems just like the recall n192268490 on the consumer reports website, but the dealer says this vehicle is not affected even though it is the same year and model name."

"my wife drives a 2015 chevrolet suburban ltz. the brake pedal would vibrate when pressed going at slow speed or when reversing for weeks leading up to the break failure; however, no service message would appear on the dashboard instrument panel. on december 17, 2021 my wife was driving when someone in another vehicle crossed the highway right in front of her, when she pressed the brakes, they were very hard to press and the 2015 suburban was not able to stop. fortunately, she barely missed colliding with the other vehicle. she was able to coast to a slow speed and pull over into the grass and glide to a stop because the brakes would not work. this was the first time that a "service brake assist" message appeared on the dashboard instrument panel. we had the suburban towed to the nearest chevrolet dealership. in researching the problem, there has been a recall issued for this type of failure of the brakes for 2015-2018 chevrolet suburbans; however, there is no recall for our suburban according to the vin #. failure of the braking system on a vehicle is very dangerous and can result in injury or death. i strongly believe our vehicle, and other vehicles like ours, should be added to the recall list as soon as possible before someone gets seriously injured or dies due to not being able to stop and crashing into another vehicle, person, or object. the chevrolet dealership says that since our vehicle is not on the recall list, we are responsible for the charges to fix it; however, i believe that the manufacturer (chevrolet) should pay for the expenses since this seems to be a defect of the parts that are failing, especially since the suburban is only 6 years old and has less than 100,000 miles."
