2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brakes Problems

While driving my 2009 Chevy Silverado hybrid with 32000 miles my brakes stopped working my DIC showed brake problems, stable track and traction control, had it towed to Chevy dealership was informed it will cost $4000 to fix, the one bad parts is a Modulator Valve part #25922981, I have found a Chevy service bulletin from May -2016 #PIT4383P about this problem looks like if this part goes bad they will replace it can you confirm this, if I was on a highway this would have been a very bad accident thanks for your help

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the brake and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the electronic control module and the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that they would follow up with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 70,800.

I OWN A '09 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 PICKUP WITH AN INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER. MY DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER GAVE ME A WARNING "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM". I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS/STABILITY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WAS ON BACKORDER FROM GM. IT TURNS OUT THAT GM HAS NO ABS CONTROL MODULES (PART#25802684) IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY! WITH THIS MODULE BEING BAD IT CUTS POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES. YOU END UP WITH NO BRAKES ON ANY TRAILER YOU TOW THAT HAS ELECTRIC BRAKES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY TRAILER WAS NOT CONNECTED AT THE TIME OF THE FAULT. IF I HAD BEEN TOWING MY CAMPER AND LOST BRAKING POWER TO IT, THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. GM HAS NO FIX FOR THIS. I AND EVERY OTHER OWNER (A LOT) ARE STUCK WITH NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY GM LET THEIR STOCK IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY GO TO ZERO ON SUCH A CRITICAL SAFETY RELATED PART. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY PICKUP AND EVERY TIME YOU PUT THE BRAKES ON THE TAILLIGHTS COME ON BUT THEY WONT GO OFF WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDEL.NOW I'V CHANGED OUT THE SWITCH UNDER THE DASH 3 TIMES STILL THEY DO THE SAME THING SO I WENT BACK TO THE OLD SWITCH. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TELL ME PLEASE I NOTICE I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROMBLEM???????????

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE BRAKE SYSTEM WENT OUT AND THE DEALERS REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ON MANY TRUCKS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. I HAVE ANOTHER 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 26,000 MILES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...UPDATED 05-26-15 *BF UPDATED 7/6/2015*JS UPDATED 11/4/2015*JS

WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE ABS LIGHT. IT STAYED ON, SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED IT WAS THE BRAKE SWITCH AND HE REPLACED IT. IT HAS BEEN FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STICKING ON, SO I REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AGAIN. SO, FAR IT'S STAYED OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TRUCK MY START HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS OUR OTHER GM VEHICLE, WHICH ALSO INVOLVES THE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL/REDUCED POWER LIGHTS COMING ON. REDUCED POWER IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ GM FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS FAR BACK AS 6 YEARS, AND GM STILL HAS NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

THE BRAKES ON THIS SILVERADO DO NOT RELEASE. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THEN THEY WILL "POP" AND BECOME FREE ALL AT ONCE LUNGING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. YOU THEN HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AGAIN DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE APPLIED. ONCE APPLIED AGAIN THE BRAKES WILL LOCK UP AND THE PROCESS REPEATS ITSELF. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 20 MPH OR UNDER WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK WILL APPLY THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN PULSING AND SURGING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH PARKING LOTS AND ROADS WITH PEDESTRIANS. *TR

THE BRAKE SYSTEM WENT OUT. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS THE SECOND 2009 WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. ....UPDATED 04/02/15 *BF

EXTREME CHATTERING OF THE REAR BRAKES UPON APPLICATION WAS OBSERVED BY THE OWNER/DRIVER, INCLUDING LOCK-UP OF THE REAR WHEELS (EVEN THOUGH ABS EQUIPPED). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTONATION CHEVROLET SUPERSTITION SPRINGS DEALERSHIP (6330 E. SUPERSTITION SPRINGS BLVD, MESA, ARIZONA 85206) FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR (SELLING DEALER). THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE OWNER THAT BOTH REAR BRAKE SLAVE CYLINDERS HAD FAILED AND LEAKED HYDRAULIC FLUID ONTO THE LININGS. THIS LEAKAGE HAD CAUSED THE STICKING OF THE LININGS TO THE BRAKE DRUMS AND RESULTING CHATTERING/LOCKUP OF THE BRAKES. POST REPAIR, THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER ISSUES IN THE LAST 3000 MILES OF USE. THE REPAIR WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CUSTOMER. AS THIS OCCURRED AT 36094 MILES AND FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE IN RESIDENTIAL USE, I CONSIDER THIS A PRODUCT FAILURE DUE TO SOME FORM OF MANUFACTURING AND/OR INSTALLATION DEFECT WITH THE BRAKE SLAVE CYLINDERS. IN 40+ YEARS OF AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP OF MANY BRANDS WITH MILEAGES INTO THE 140K+ RANGE, I HAVE NEVER HAD A SLAVE CYLINDER FAILURE, NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD OF A DUAL FAILURE. THIS WAS THE SAME COMMENT BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE, OR AT A MINIMUM, ADD THIS TO YOUR WATCH LIST DATABASE. I REVIEWED THE NHTSA'S WEBSITE LIST OF DEFECTS, BUT FOUND NOTHING REGARDING THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. THE FACT THAT IT WAS A DUAL COMPONENT FAILURE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT IF HARD BRAKING HAD BEEN REQUIRED BY THE OPERATOR, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I ATTEMPTED TO DO SO PERSONALLY, BUT FOUND THE EXPERIENCE UNSATISFACTORY. *TR

USED THE VEHICLE FOR VACATION IN 2011 AS IT WAS JUST 1 YEAR OLD. VERY LITTLE BRAKE PED LEFT GOING DOWN HILL. GOING DOWN HILL AND STEP ON THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS A BAD VIBRATION AND GROWLING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. I HAD IT CHECKED AND THE DEALER GROUND THE BRAKE ROTORS. THIS NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM, SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR THE WARPED ROTORS FOR A WHILE. NOW THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN WITH 23000 MILES AND ONLY GROWLS AND VIBRATES WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WHERE YOU HAVE TO STEP DOWN A LITTLE HARDER. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND THEY SAY THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ON AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE HARD AND ONLY ABOUT 4000 MILES PER YEAR. WHATS CAUSING THE BRAKE ROTORS TO KEEP WARPING. *TR

WARPED FRONT ROTORS BOTH WHEELS. WHILE DRIVING GOING DOWN A HILL, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START SHAKING. I AM A RETIRED MASTER MECHANIC WITH OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE 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-OCCURRED AFTER ROTOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

WE COULD HEAR THE TRUCK MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AS WE SLOWED FOR A STOP SIGN. WHEN WE LOOKED, THE WHOLE BRAKE PAD WAS MISSING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BRAKES. THIS CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ROTOR. WE HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED A SINGLE TIME.

2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE ROTOR *TGW THREE WEEKS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SERVICED FOR A FRONT ROTOR PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED AND REPLACED. ON AUGUST 24, 2010 THEY WERE TURNED AGAIN. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FLASH ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER APPROXIMATELY TWENTY TIMES BUT THE DEALER WAS UNSURE AS TO HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND ADVISED THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF A NEW CHARGING SYSTEM. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

WARPED FRONT ROTORS BOTH WHEELS. *TR

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. *TR

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
