Hi all. Shortly after i bought my 2019 Silverado 2500HD i noticed that when i am stopped at a light the truck tries to creep forward if i'm not paying attention. It doesn't surge or idle high, it just seems like it loses pressure after a short period of time. When it happens i just give it a little more pedal and it stops. I took it to my service dealer back in April and they said the tech noticed what i was talking about but they did all of the GM required tests and it passed. About a month ago i hear of the recall involving 2014-2018 1500s, 2500s, and 3500s. So again i called my dealer and i asked if my truck is included, since it appears to be the same as any 2015-2018. They said no because GM made a change for 2019. I don't believe this. Why would GM change anything on this truck, knowing they were going to come out with a completely new truck in 2020? That doesn't seem to make financial sense to me. Anyone else have this issue and talk to their dealer about it?

I had my 16 Sierra brake recall done last week took 1 hour, it was a software update.

Truck rides the same.

Do you have a 1500?

 

I know that some of the media reports say that the 2500/3500 trucks are included but we don't have a vacuum brake booster in the K2 generation HDs (not sure about the 2020s). The problem is specific to the vacuum system losing efficiency as it ages and shouldn't affect hydroboost systems.

 

I don't have any open recalls when I check on NHTSA's website.

They changed the pump at the end of 2018.. my 2018 1500 is not included in the recall since I have the updated vacuum pump.

Check for recalls through safecar.gov

 

I didn't have any open recalls when I checked my VIN.

The recall for brake assist is 1500 ONLY.  Does not affect 2500/3500.  Dealer is correct, but could have worded it a bit better to you. 

 

The HD trucks use Hydroboost brake assist.  The power steering pump supplies hydraulic pressure to the brake booster assembly to provide brake pedal assist.  The pedals in these do feel different than a 1500 pedal.  Almost like a really slight cushion feel in the pedal.

Oh, i thought the 2500 and 3500 were included because my local media said they were included too. Not the first time they have been wrong i guess. This is my first 2500 so maybe i am just not used to the different feel of the brakes. That is the only issue i have noticed with my truck and i love driving it. I don't think i would go back to a 1500.

That was a good idea. I couldn't get safecar.gov to open for some reason but i went to NHTSA.GOV and was able to look my vin up and there are no recalls. Thanks for all the help guys.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
