Driving Chevrolet cruz(2012) and brakes failed causing to rear end another vehicle. Certified auto mechanic examined and said failure of master cylinder. Car was towed due to lack of brakes. Other driver filed a claim against my insurance and stated injury suffered. Thus occurred on interstate 460 w. Roanoke county va.
The brake pedal in my Cruze will not let you push it down. It feels that there is something blocking it which will not allow you to brake when needed. The first time this happened was in 2015 in which we learned of a recall (13v360000) for the microswitch in the power brake vacuum pipe assembly. We took it to a Chevrolet dealership & was told the switch was replaced. In 2016 the same thing happened, while accelerating someone pulled out in front of me & when I went to stop there was no brakes because the pedal would not push. No accident occurred as I was able to avoid the other vehicle. Took the car back to dealership where no one there was able to get it to happen again so therefore was told nothing was wrong, but I didnt push the brakes hard enough in July 2017, while backing out of a parking spot, went to stop to put the car into drive, there was again no brakes. We took the vehicle back again to the dealership because once again the brakes were not working & the brake pedal had to be stomped on to get it to even move a little bit. Was told that the master cylinder had gone out in the car and that the brake booster may also need to be replaced as well. We then had the master cylinder replaced. That did not fix the problem. So then we had the brake booster replaced. We picked up the vehicle only to find out when accelerating but need to stop there is again no brakes. The car is back at the dealership who is now stating that it could possibly be the break booster check value but are not 100% sure that this will fix the problem but did state that if the original recall had been done that we would not be having any of the problems we are having now. I informed them that the recall was done at another chevy dealership. So after almost 2 years $2,500 later we still have a vehicle without breaks we are unable to drive that is in the shop once again.
