Brake Light On problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze

While driving in stop and go traffic on a hwy of a speed of about 10-15 mph the brakes failed to work. There was a police office one car behind who witnessed the brake lights come on but the car did not stop. The driver attempted to avoid the car in front of them by trying to get into the shoulder. The car collided with a truck in front on it. The impact was with the front driver side and the rear passenger side of the truck. When the officer had the driver take the car out of park and to try to move it out of traffic the car began to roll back and was only stopped by the emergency brake. The officer then had the driver of the truck get out and try to drive the chevy Cruze out of traffic only to have that driver agree that the brakes were not working. During the repair process chevy had the car for over a month and had to replace the electronic brake system as the light was on that that is was failing. I am getting the reports of the replacement of the failed brake system this week from the repair shop.

At the end of December 2013 I purchased a 2014 chevy Cruze turbo diesel. Shortly after buying this vehicle I discovered there as a problem with the excessive torque and the braking system and hair trigger brake release. When releasing the brake this car would leap forward in an unsafe manner. This would happen when releasing the brake slightly. Releasing the brake a quarter of an inch or less was sufficient. I am not talking about my foot slipping off the brake pedal. The high rpm's and torque is not a good match with this particular automatic transmission. I am sure a standard transmission would be a better match. After my car jumped out into a major street and almost caused an accident I took my vehicle to my local dealership. The dealership examined my car and came up with the bellowing results: brakes feel normal for vehicle. 4 wheel disc and has electric vacuum pump. No repairs required at this time. Idle normal for present time, ecm will rise idle at certain time like cold start compensate for battery draw of glow plugs?. By the way the above incident occurred when the car was normal operating temperature. As a result I immediately traded this vehicle (1500 miles were on the odometer) for a different brand. It would be nice if your engineers could look into this matter to avoid future incidents with other chevy cruz owners. I am very concerned over the safety of this vehicle. Thanks.
