Description of the problem | Last night my wife and i (who is 9 months pregnant) got into our 2012 chevy cruze and went to back out of the parking lot. When backing out the car started shaking really weird as i released my foot off the brake pedal. I released full and continued to backup as i didn't know what was going on. When i went to apply the brakes again i pushed the brake pedal down all the way and the car barely stopped. Luckily i was able to pull the emergency brake in time before hitting the multiple cars behind my vehicle. I put the car in drive and pulled forward into the parking spot and as i went to stop again it was the same issue. The car would not fully stop no matter how hard i pushed down on the brake pedal. Luckily, i was the one driving and we weren't up to highway speeds yet or it could've resulted in the death of multiple people. |
