Some Chevrolet Silverado 1500 owners report experiencing hard brakes while reversing, which may be attributed to issues such as over-extended brake caliper pins, damaged brake rotors, or broken brake pads that can cause the brakes to lock up. Additionally, owners who have upgraded their brake lines to stainless steel or converted to a Hydroboost system often report improved braking performance and a firmer pedal feel. For those with rear drum brakes, there may be insufficient braking force in reverse, leading to further complications. Furthermore, some owners have noted recurring A/C issues since 2018, and it is recommended that the A/C system be inspected by a qualified mechanic to effectively diagnose and resolve any ongoing problems.
