Brakes Failed Problems of Chevrolet Spark

Brake failure after $560 brake repair. When backing up on an incline brakes became very hard and fail to stop the car. Happened multiple times with no warning light. Dealer talked with gm, and informed me it may not be fixable. The brakes should stop the car even with a power assist malfunction. Poor design. Too unsafe for my family. Traded it in. Hope NHTSA investigates the brakes on chevy Sparks. The total loss of brakes was verified on first shop trip by chevy tech. 1 day after repair, total brake failure again. This time it set in the shop for a week, awaiting gm response. Gm case number 9-6003224546 this is the second brake failure complaint for the car, but I only have the service report for the original failure and repair. Document is provided with this complaint.

Randomly while parked on incline, start the car, put in reverse, and start backing down the drive way the brakes would totally fail and no amount of pressing on the brakes would stop the car. The car gave no brake failure warnings.

I was in the car with my son pulling into my yard which is at an incline and the car accelerated on its own. When I stepped on the brakes they failed and the car crashed into my brick house. The car has been totaled out and the house has structural damage. All the airbags deployed, however, my son had no injuries and I walked away with significant bruising and lacerations on my legs. I have contacted gm and they are currently investigating my claim.
