Intermittent brake failure, during sharp right turns at slow speeds. Most times as you pull into a parking spot. Started as a rumble and bumping stop when pulling into parking spot, not long after buying the car, thought it was just how abs work?? over the past 7 years this has progressed to where the brake peddle goes to the floor and the car doesn't stop. I've brought it to the attention of the dealer who can never recreate, therefore cannot fix. We recently moved, and in our new driveway, I must make a very sharp right turn into my garage, I've almost hit my house multiple times due to the brake failure. Last week almost hit a parked car pulling into a parking spot. . . It took 1/2 the distance of the space and my son putting car into reverse to avoid the collision. Car is back at the dealer again and they want to charge me $2,500 to try a few things but not sure if any of them will fix the issue. There are many complaint about this for a few Cts years (2004-2007 it appears) but gm has not taken responsibility or acknowledged an issue. Does someone need to be killed first?.
