While pulling into a parking lot, the brake pedal failed to push down, making me to have to exert force on the brake pedal to stop the car. I had been hearing a "grinding" sound but thought it was from the brake pads needing to be replaced and this was incident was from the calipers being over extended. After replacing the brake pads with the new ones (the old ones were only half the size of the new ones and did not need replacing) the brake pedal still did not push easily. I took the vehicle to the repair shop I always use and they affirmed there was a problem and gave the price for the parts (908. 37 for the brake vacuum pump and 107. 98 for the brake fluid exchange with abs). There is visible damage to the end of the camshaft from the pump freezing and being torn apart by the camshaft as a result. The total cost of the repairs was $3409. 96, which was unexpected. I was quoted $1134 and change originally for parts and labor at the beginning of the problem being addressed.

This same issue has happened at least a dozen times and, thank fully, never while I was driving at posted speed limits. My onstar has sent me email notifications acknowledging an abs issue was detected. After the 3rd time this incident occurred, I did some research and found quite a few owners experiencing this exact issue and some whose brakes failed while driving at speed causing accidents! I have complained to gm, but they are sticking to not knowing anything about this problem and not covering any portion of the repairs. I got the standard canned response that gm will notify owners if and/or when a recall is issued. I am hopeful additional owners will complain so gm has to do something about this.

My brake boosters went out and I paid $700 now something odd is happening to my brakes with the air or pressure. Should this whole car be recalled? my electrics blinked out the day I got the car and the salesman said � it happens sometimes now I have to replace a battery for$290 on a car I have less than 2 years?? it was mentioned the auto start affects my battery!! I need to speak to someone about reimbursement and covering my battery.

On Saturday, June 29th, 2019 approximately at 12:30 pm my family's 2017 Chevrolet Malibu was in motion in a major interstate (I-75) and the traffic started slowing down, I pressed the brake pedal to slow down and the pedal became very hard to brake and having to swerve to the side of the right side of the road to avoid a collision with the vehicle in front of me. The vehicle's message board read "engine power reduced". I also received an email message from on-star stating that an issue with the engine and transmission system was detected. The vehicle was taken to victory lane Chevrolet in fort myers, florida, and the service technician told us that the issue had nothing to do with the engine or transmission as the vehicle message stated, but a problem with the braking system's vacuum. This could have been a really bad accident and hope that this information can help avoid any problems to anybody. We are still worry about driving this vehicle, since we are becoming aware that this is an issue that seems to be repeating itself to many other owners of the same vehicle and model as our Malibu in the united states and canada.
