On friday december 29, 2017 as we were driving home we almost re-ended another vehicle in a city street at the speed of 55 MPH due to car brakes locking and hard to press down, luckily hard we were able fo brake by pushing hard enough. Also sensor have failed twice- three times in heavy traffic and will brake on their own without any car being directly in front of me which is scary and could cause a major accident on the highway. We contact gmc and filed a claim (83737025405) and also took it to the chevrolet dealership in our hometown which is not doing much but charging us $1000+ for a change on a vacuum top and seal but don't understand that this is a safety issue for we have almost crashed over 4 times due to these issues.
