Description of the problem | We bought this car brand new off the lot and the brakes have squealed since we bought the vehicle feb 2014. We have taken it in several times and they can't find anything wrong, they say it's the type of brakes and sometimes they do squeal especially if humid or wet. Now yesterday someone slammed on their brakes in front of me. Luckily i was far enough back (about 4 car links) that i didn't hit them. When i slammed on my brakes, the pedal went to the floor and nothing happened! I let up and tried again and got some brake, but still not like it should. I could not get the problem to duplicate, when i tried, the brakes worked fine. I was driving on dry pavement on a highway at 45 mph, there was no reason for this to happen. The car has 19870 miles on it. This issue could have killed me and left 4 children with no mother! I see tons of issues for this from 2011-2014 cruze vehicles, when is chevy and gm going to do something about this instead of hiding under a rock and calling us all liars?! Someone is going to be killed! |
