Description of the problem | I am driving down the highway when i get a warning saying service brakes. I went to hit my brakes and i had none at all! I almost hit a car because it was getting off the ramp and hit its brakes. I had to go over to the side of the road to keep from hitting it. I found out that the brake vacuum pump went out. I know that gm is doing a investigation on this. My car is now at the dealership getting repaired. I don't want this to happen to someone else. I had no warning at all that my brakes was not going to work. Thank god i was able to get stopped without being in a accident. This is a big safety hazard!!!!! |
