Description of the problem	I was dropping off my children at school and had my foot on the brake while they unloaded. As i was driving away at a very low speed (3 or 4 mph) i went to brake around a curve in the parking lot and i could not depress my brake. I tried several times before throwing the car into park and slamming on the parking brake to get the car to stop. This occurred in a parking lot full of kids walking by. I was very lucky not to have hit someone. I then released the parking brake and with my foot on the brake tried to put the car in drive and again the brake would not work so i again used the parking brake to stop the car from rolling. At that point i thought i would try to guide the car out of the the way of the buses and children with the emergency brake so i turned it off completely and upon restarting the car the brake was functional again. I am taking the car to chevy today but they say there is no recall on the issue however, in researching what could have happened i have found many similar accounts of brake failure at low speed in 2015 suburbans. I could have easily killed someone if i hadn't thought quickly to throw the car into park and use the emergency brake.
