2 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2021

Brakes failed following a vacuum pump failure while driving at faster speeds on a busy city street (45mph). "reduced engine power" was displayed and when I applied the brakes, the pedal felt solid and did not depress. Using the neutral gear and parking brake I was able to stop the car. This could have been a fatal failure in a different scenario with a lesser driver.

9 months aga, complete brake failure while driving on the highway. Dash said service brake assist. Turner Chevrolet in crosby, TX replaced the vacuum pump making the brakes work. Now we had the same issue again while driving on the highway at highway speeds. In both cases, we instantly lost all braking, but were able to slow down by letting off the accelerator and had enough distance to slow down.
