New 2009 chevy Hhr - total brake failure new car - driven for about 10 days - 850 miles. While driving, brakes started feeling soft while going downhill. Later approaching an intersection at about 20 mph, brakes traveled about 2/3 of way before doing anything. Applied more pressure and car pulled to right. Pressed brake pedal all the way to floor and car kept moving. Pulled the emergency brake and stopped with nose of car in the intersection. There were no panel lights indicating a brake failure. Check of the brake fluid showed it is full. Took car to medved chevy in castle rock, CO today for repair. They confirmed the brake failure (easy to do since the pedal goes to the floor). They will diagnose and repair next week. I asked them to escalate a report of this issue in case other owners are not as lucky as me.
