Driving in Tucumcari New Mexico coming up on a green light that turned from green to yellow to red. I pressed the brake pedal instead of the brakes doing their job in slowing down to come to a stop. The pedal pushed against my pressure a did not allow me to stop or slow down in anyway. Upon this brake failure it made me run the red light an t bone another car in the intersection. This brake failure has cost me my only transportation to work, which is in Reno, Nevada. Now GM has never reached out to speak with me about getting the issue resolved before this accident. Dealership never reached out to me or informed me of any recalls prior to the accident or when I made the purchase in 2024. No warning lights no indicators or on my dash to inform of any problems

My vehicle VIN does not seem listed for recall gm no. N192268490 or was serviced. Yet, I continue to experience intermittent loss of braking power, especially at slow speeds such as after shifting from drive to reverse for parking, or backing out of a parking space. Much more pressure is required to stop as if loss of power resulting in manual-only braking. This seems to go away when the vehicle is shut off and restarted. Prior to recall, the issue previously resulted in $3000 damage to another family vehicle parked on our private property.

The vacuum pump failed resulting in loss of braking assistance. Mushy and hard peddle. Very noticeable at low speeds. Mine went out while exiting the highway at highway speeds. Causing excessive speed on the off ramp and inability to safely brake. Appears to have been a recall for my year vehicle. After calling the dealer I was told m VIN was excluded from the recall.

Already had the module update and brakes are still shuttering and losing pressure at low speeds. Brake pedal goes to the floor and gets super hard. This same thing was happening before the module update recall way last year.

Filed Jul 26, 2020 · Brakes · 55,000 miles · ID

While driving in reverse and in drive at low speeds, brakes failed to engage properly. At first I was trying to stop while in reverse to go forward. I had to press the brake extremely hard to vehicle to come to a stop. When I went forward, I experienced the same thing. Brakes did not engage properly and were extremely hard to press down to get the vehicle to stop. I stopped driving at that point because I was in a tight parking lot and didnt feel I could slow quick enough to not run into other vehicles.
