2024 Chevrolet Tahoe Brakes Problems

Your vehicle lost all braking ability while driving and had to coast to a stop. You saw warnings about brake system failure and that the forward collision avoidance system wasn't working. After restarting, the warnings stayed on for about an hour, then cleared from the display, but the error codes remained. The dealership blamed a bad battery, but a battery issue shouldn't cause complete brake failure.

Your brakes suddenly failed without warning, and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. You had to swerve to avoid hitting another vehicle and nearly hit a wall and another car while regaining control. The truck eventually coasted to a stop, but the sudden loss of braking power created a dangerous situation. This will require a complete brake system inspection to identify why pressure was lost.

I was driving down the highway last Friday. I went to slow down to get into another lane and My Tahoe started saying “break failure” and I had no breaks to stop my Tahoe. I pressed the break as far down as I could and had no way to stop. I took my foot off the gas and I drove 10 mph to the dealership 1 mile from my location and coasted to a stop. The dealership called today and said they were needing to replace the entire break module and system. I am so scared to drive my car now. I had my children in the car and I thought we were literally going to wreck.

Total system brake failure while driving on interstate. Unable to stop or slow vehicle, had to run off road to avoid traffic and coast to stop.

Brakes system failure message on highway and couldn’t use brakes without standing on them. Once came to a stop in breakdown lane tow driver took us to closest Chevrolet dealer where we were told our vehicle was unsafe to drive and was basically a toboggan. If we weren’t in slow moving traffic we would’ve been in a serious accident. Dealer confirmed by running computer on car that the brake system motor stopped working and lost communication with power steering, transmission, central gateway, brake system control, and engine control. Waiting to see if this is a software issue or if brake motor needs to be replaced. Either way feels very unsafe to drive.
