Abs and traction control lights are illuminated. Sometimes while braking, a weird hydraulic sound is heard and the brakes dont want to stop the car. The pedal wont go down further unless sometimes you force it and lock up the tires and brakes. No codes are showing for the ABS or traction control. Been happening sporadically for a year.

On february 8, 2019, my mother was pulling into a maintenance garage to get an oil change. Upon pulling into the garage, she was unable to stop and her vehicle lunged forward. As a result, he vehicle hit an employee, went through the maintenance garage door, through the parking lot, across a four lane street, and eventually stopped in a field across the street from the oil change venue. This is an approximate distance of 300 feet. Upon further review by my mechanic, it was discovered the ABS system was malfunctioning causing the brake pedal to drop in the car, and the car not to stop. The wiring harness also was cracked resulting in a cut to the ABS wire, causing the ABS malfunction resulting in the car to not stop, and the electrical malfunction which caused the car to speed forward. General motors was notified, but denied responsibility of this claim.

Brake line failure, brake line corroded and were leaking brake fluid resulting in brake failure in the vehicle. Vehicle towed to freehold buick gmc (freehold, nj) where they informed me that there are no recalls on the issue and provided me an estimate to replace 2 brake lines at a cost of over $2,000.00. The federal safety agency campaign number: 15v201000 was performed on vehicle at this dealership on or about 9/2017. Even after the recall was done, smoke and oil still appear on the front exhaust manifold. It doesn't appear that this recall repaired the issue as described. In addition, the dealership failed to follow the recall instructions and never discarded the oil filler neck and plastic engine cover as described in the recall. Vehicle only has 80,000 miles on it.
