Description of the problem | I just started backing out of a parking spot at the grocery store, and when i went to hit the brakes, the brake pedal hardly moved and the car kept rolling. I applied extreme pressure to the brake pedal because i almost hit another parked car. It eventually came to a stop just inches from the other car. Then when i left the parking lot i proceeded to the traffic light, which was red at the time, i applied the brake, and it did the same thing! I almost rear-ended the car in front of me! I finally got the car home, but i kept great distances between our car and the cars in front of me. Luckily it didn't happen again, and i made it home safe! Later in the day, i tested the brakes again, by backing out of the garage, and it happened again! Makes me very nervous! This car is going to the gm dealer to get fixed! Hopefully i don't have an accident on my way there! Gm needs to do a recall to fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed!!! |
