Failure Date: 11/24/2024

November 24th 2024 my car failed to let me use the brake, I was going about 45mph and when I went to apply brake pressure the pedal was so stiff I couldnt use the brake. Causing from end collision, when I made a trip to springdale to have my car I soected it didnt make it, started backfiring and dying around 65 mph then the motor blew, it had some issues starting but nothing like what happened within that few seconds. Im out of a car now because it drove perfect and I never have to give it thought.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2020

Brake pedal will not return fully after it is applied when it is warm and humid. Causes brake pedal to stick and not allow cruise control to be selected. The stuck pedal allows the car to be started and placed into gear without a foot on the pedal. Did find that gm has not only issued a technical service bulletin for the described issue but has issued multiple revisions to cover additional vehicles each time. Given that this is a well known issue by the manufacture, this should warrant a serious looking into a recall issue. TSB # pic5692d dated 05/11/2018 is the fourth revision and the original TSB pic5692 is dated July, 2012. TSB pic5692d even states that a product review is required.

Brake pedal sticks and stays depressed when very hot outside after sitting. This needs to be recalled. Its happened twice to me already and no shop can find anything wrong. It will work fine after pulling pedal up or driving with shaking steering wheel until it works itself out. This needs to be addressed and needs to be a recall fix.

My brake pedal always get stuck depressed down in hot humid weather. You literally have to drive with two feet to lift pedal when time to accelerate. My driver seat also goes in and out when trying to adjust the seat. It will not move unless I play with the power adjuster a few times then it will maneuver. My radio also turns off and on by itself with bluetooth is connected or sometimes the radio wouldn't turn on with car running or turn off while car is off.
