Three separate incidents of total brake failure. One resulted in failure to yield at a stop sign. Rolled into cross traffic. Gm dealer refuses to repair even at owner's expense because it is not on the recall list. I requested a repair that was done to other vehicles under recall in which the software is calibrated for proper wheel speed feedback. I will try another dealer
