Brakes Failed problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

I bought a 2013 chevy Cruze a year ago. The brakes fail when car is in reverse and the brake pedal gets hard. It happens intermittently but I've taken it to the dealership twice and they couldn't find anything wrong. I'm afraid for my son to continue to drive this vehicle. There are no recalls but an internet search says there are many brake problems with all Cruzes. Not happy I made this purchase and will be trading this in if the next service appt doesnt find anything wrong.

I was slowing down for stop light and vehicles in front of me. The vehicles in front of me stopped suddenly, and I pressed on the brake pedal, but the vehicle wasn't slowing/stopping; I then pulled the emergency brake handle and my vehicle stopped, but unfortunately it was too late. I was at least 3-5 car lengths away from the vehicle in front of me. I ended up crushing in the grille in which pushed the radiator back and then it broke the thermostat housing and lost antifreeze soon later when driving; all this because of no brakes, and striking the receiver hitch cover on the vehicle in front of me. All in all $2k in damage to my vehicle, and undriveable. The main brakes didn't react upon pressing, this is way weird since I've owned the vehicle since new, to date never noticed anything out of the ordinary. Now, the weather was "hot", it was around 95f and humid, the pavement was dry without rain. Of course the police officer that did the report said that alot of these minor fender benders happen at this set of stop lights daily/weekly due to the lights being too quick, and distracted in a hurry drivers; and I was just a victim of circumstance, but my brakes failed also. I am a fan of the Chevrolet Cruze, but "wow" this happened, and possibly the beginning of another recall for a faulty brake/abs system since the emergency brakes did work (drum brakes). The insurance company did say that the car will be ran throught the shop to check the brake system.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. While the vehicle was idling at a red light, it lost power and the brakes failed. As a result, the contact bumped into the preceding vehicle. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to paradise Chevrolet (6350 leland st, ventura, CA 93003). The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The contact experienced the same failure intermittently for four years. The vehicle was never diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet cruz. The contact stated that the brakes failed to engage and caused the contact to crash into the rear of another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The brake failure was experienced twice. The dealer test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 500 and the current mileage was 900.

I had the vehicle serviced for oil change and tire rotation on may 25. A few days later, approximately June 1, I noticed the vehicle was very hard to stop when backing out of my driveway (had to push down very hard on the brakes which did not seem to go to the floor). I also noticed that while I was stopped at red lights or behind other vehicles the car would lunge forward--not enough to hit someone because I noticed it as soon as it happened. About two weeks later I took the car to the dealership, jeff wyler Chevrolet eastgate, and advised them of the problem. Someone test drove the car with me in the passenger seat, and he informed me that he could find nothing wrong with the car. I do not know if he checked anything else while I was in the waiting room. At my request, he provided me with a printout documenting the visit. On July 7, 2013, while my daughter was pulling the vehicle into our garage, the brakes failed and she hit my granddaughter's bicycle which, in turn, went through the drywall at the end of the garage. I have four children living at the house including an 8 and 10 year old. There is also a sign on our street indicating a deaf child lives on the street (we have only lived there since Nov. 2012). We are very fortunate that a child has not been injured. There is no way to alert the deaf child that the car is coming their way since they cannot hear the horn.
