Description of the problem | I was backing out of my garage and as i pushed on my brake pedal to slow down and maneuver out of the garage i realized the pedal would not go down and the car kept going in reverse with no way of stopping it! There was no give to the brake pedal at all, it was as if it was locked up. I rolled backward several feet while still pushing on the brake and eventually the pedal went down and the car stopped. This happened about a month ago, but i thought, at the time, i must have done something silly like hit the floorboard with my foot . I now realize this could be a real hazard to myself and others. I did have a recall on the brakes some months ago and i took my car into to have it done. This has happened twice since chevrolet fixed my recall. This is very concerning!! |
