Brake/abs system locked up on me and I couldn’t stop. I accidentally hit someone from behind and was proven to be an accident. My traction light my abs light and my brake light all came on at the same time right before I wrecked. The SUV swerves over to the other lane randomly while on the interstate and does stop on time. Every time I fuel up gas leaks out from somewhere and its pumps gas really slow and takes so long.
While driving down the road under any condition the brakes start to apply themselves ultimately leading the vehicle to not being able to pull itself. The more throttle you give it the more the brakes apply. I believe this is the same as the 2002-2004 chevy hydro boost recall. Also around the same time the resistor for the blower motor caught fire while driving down the road.
Brake peddle going to the floor.

The emergency/parking brake release mechanism has broken today. This is the second time this mechanism has failed. It was replaced with a gm oem purchased from the dealer on 8-13-2011. This vehicle has 68932 miles on it and we are the original owners. There is obviously a design failure in this part.
