I was driving north bound in lane 3 traffic was stopped at red light. I went to applied the brake to slow down and stop nothing happen as I was getting real close to a stopped car my foot remained on brake pedal again nothing I made a split decision to try to drive between cars in lane 2 and 3 instead of rear ending the stopped vehicle. I sideswiped 3 cars and only then did I come to a stop. My vehicle sustained alot of damage compare to the other cars. When this 2011 chevy equinox is fixed I will not keep it due to this problem with the braking system. I would fear that it would happen again. It is an unsafe car in my opinion.

My spouse was opening the drier's door and the trim at the bottom of the door (which is fiber glass material) cut her leg about six to eight inches above the left ankle. The trim sticks when the driver's door is opened. It took 16 stitches to close the wound. The trim needs to re-finished or tapered to prevent others from getting hurt. This is a really bad cut and she was in a lot of pain. Updated 06/08/11
