Brakes failed several times in low speed drivings (<=30miles) during summer and during winter. One winter failure before a red light (speed <=25 miles) caused a head to tail collision, which cost more than $2,000 in repairs. First, I felt the brakes working with some sharp noises and not working properly sometimes. I sent the car to a gm dealer service station t o inspect. No problem was found, then, several days later, when the brakes failed, I almost hit a police car. The same gm service station found some problems with the brakes this time and made a repair. Finally, last winter, the brakes failed again and caused a low speed collision mentioned above. I lost confidece on their brake quality. Please help me to remind others to watch out gm brakes. Never trust it.
