My vehicle was inspected and and marked "good" for brakes by fairway Chevrolet dealer in las vegas, nv. The braking system didn't seem to work as did before. I was driving about 30 mph approaching an intersection when the vehicle in front of me suddenly stopped on the yellow light. I hit the brakes and held it so hard I got a foot injury. With plenty of room to stop the brakes failed to stop my vehicle before I collided into the vehicle in front of me. The airbags didn't deploy. The damage to my front end is estimated over $6000 to repair. The other vehicle only got a scratch on the bumper. I had to go to an urgentcare facility to receive emergency care. Something is wrong with the braking system. The same symptoms are in our 2014 equinox but the dealer says theres nothing wrong. Please call me for any needed information. I can send more pictures.

Brake and brake rotor warping every couple months. Severe shaking while stopping. Was told by dealer to downshift instead of breaking on hills. Did that but the problems continues. Dealer says the brakes are not covered by warranty and not to drive in the mountians because the brakes overheat. The vehicle is mainly driven on flat roads to my wifes work and they still only last a couple months. Shakes violently after 1/4 mile of down hill travel found forums online of many people with the same problem. . Read more...

2003 chevy Impala brakes failure while driving. This has been happening four times since 11/17. I am experiencing this everytime when I drive this car since 11/17. Here are the steps to create the problem. 1. Shift to park (p) and turn off the engine. (let it sit for 30 minutes) 2. Start the engine 3. Shift to reverse (r) and back my car for around 10 - 15 feet (a couple of click sounds come out under the hood when car starts moving) 4. Shift to drive (d) start slowly and apply brake. 5. At this point the car does not slow a bit but the brake pedal already all the way down to the floor. 6. Re-apply the brake again ASAP. I was wondering if anyone ever reported this before. Since this is a sever safety issue, I'd like to make a complaint on this issue.

When braking at 50 mph and up, brakes pulsate and steering shutters. I am worried brakes will fail. It is out of warranty but has been going on several months.

When front brake rotors failed at 26,455 miles,called dealer thinking it would be cover under warranty, dealer stated brakes are only covered up to 7,500 miles not the 36,000 miles. Took rotors to private repair shop to have them turned and they would not do it stating they were made out of junk and would be better off replacing with new rotors which I did hoping for better results.

2001 Chevrolet Impala abs / traction control problem engages brakes intermittently and spontaneously without warning. Excess heat builds up and causes brake fluid loss. Potential for brake failure exists. Perhaps the government could do something about this. Yeah, right. I predict that you guys will fail the consumer yet again.

This is not in repect to a accident or part failure. But I read today in the chicago tribune about an investigation into gm trucks in the salt-belt that had improper corrosion on the brake rotors, causing the brakes to fail. I just brought my 2003 chevy Impala for a tire rotation at my California mechanic. The mechanic notified my that the rear brake rotors were showing an unusual corrosion. He said that road salt in illinois, where the car is used 50% of the year, may have been a reason, but it didn't look like the usual corrosion he is used to seeing on salt belt cars. The brakes have been pulsing rather strangely and my braking distance seems increased since the last time I left illinois. I was wondering if there were other non-truck complaints of this nature, given the similarities between my experiance and the truck investigation?.
