1. Propulsion Power Reduced -AGAIN. We have had this repaired recently & it’s back. Apparently it’s “not a problem” as long as check engine light is not on. Unfortunately, the engine light is on AGAIN - despite being reset. The car is not accelerating when needed. 2. “Brake Assist” light is on AGAIN- and I do not have power brakes. It is hard to stop. Could we at minimum get accurate warning systems & repairs that work? 2.

Stacia was driving the vehicle on September 20th on a residential street. She was driving at 25 MPH. All of the sudden the brakes slammed on by themselves and the car slammed to a stop. Luckily there were not any cars around, or there would have certainly been an accident. If this had happened on the Interstate or on a busy street there likely would have been a serious accident. The vehicle was taken for service and it was determined that the Brake Pedal Position Sensor failed. This was replaced by Eric Von Schledorn Chevrolet. Our concern is that the failure of one sensor could cause a potential catastrophic accident. We wanted to bring this to your attention in case others have had a similar issue, and a recall may be necessary.

At low speed (under 5 MPH) I stepped on the brake pedal and had no response. I stomped down with all my might and still had absolutely no response from either the power antilock nor the manual brake. The car continued forward with no slowing until it hit the car ahead of me, traveling several feet before doing so. I never felt any brake engagement including 'pumping' of the antilock or any slowing. I was on a city street and had been at a full or near full stop before letting off the brake to roll forward. I was going straight ahead. Brakes have been regularly serviced.
