Description of the problem	I was slowing down for stop light and vehicles in front of me. The vehicles in front of me stopped suddenly, and i pressed on the brake pedal, but the vehicle wasn't slowing/stopping; i then pulled the emergency brake handle and my vehicle stopped, but unfortunately it was too late. I was at least 3-5 car lengths away from the vehicle in front of me. I ended up crushing in the grille in which pushed the radiator back and then it broke the thermostat housing and lost antifreeze soon later when driving; all this because of no brakes, and striking the receiver hitch cover on the vehicle in front of me. All in all $2k in damage to my vehicle, and undriveable. The main brakes didn't react upon pressing, this is way weird since i've owned the vehicle since new, to date never noticed anything out of the ordinary. Now, the weather was "hot", it was around 95f and humid, the pavement was dry without rain. Of course the police officer that did the report said that alot of these minor fender benders happen at this set of stop lights daily/weekly due to the lights being too quick, and distracted in a hurry drivers; and i was just a victim of circumstance, but my brakes failed also. I am a fan of the chevrolet cruze, but "wow" this happened, and possibly the beginning of another recall for a faulty brake/abs system since the emergency brakes did work (drum brakes). The insurance company did say that the car will be ran throught the shop to check the brake system.
