Description of the problem | While driving on i90 in stop and go traffic, the car in front of me stopped. I applied my brakes and the pedal was hard and would not depress. As a result my car would not stop and i hit the car in front of me in the rear end. My air bags went off. I received an air bag burn. The car in front of me struck the car in front of him. Both other drivers claim they were injured. My car cost $15,300 to repair. Chevrolet is aware of this problem, issuing preliminary service bulletin pit5361 in 2015, addendum b in 2016 and addendum b in 2017. The problem is a faulty vacuum pump, master cylinder, brake booster, vacuum line, and vacuum pump belt. I was never informed of this problem. I have been driving 50 years and this is my first chargeable accident. |
