Brake failure on a 2 day old chevy Traverse sequence of events . . . 1. I purchased a Chevrolet Traverse from lawrence Chevrolet on Tuesday, January 14, 2020 and took delivery at about 5:00pm. 2. While my wife was driving on Thursday, January 16, 2020, we experienced a low speed brake failure. This occurred while on the way to dulles airport at about 6:00pm. The brakes were slowly applied and they did not respond. The brakes were then pressed hard and they did not respond. I (mike) reached over to try shifting the car into park but was unsuccessful and the car drifted at a very low speed, �a walking speed,� and into the back of a tractor trailer. We had very ample space to stop however the brakes simply did not respond. Minimal damage occurred to the vehicle's front. I immediately checked to see if something was in the way of the brakes pedal (a floor mat or other obstruction) and there was no obstruction. I could see, and I am certain, that heather had her foot on the brake pedal. 3. Glenda (onstar/gm) established case number 9-5760767809 and set up a tow to ourisman Chevrolet of rockville, MD. 4. I was greeted by roberto (service manager?) and helped by both roberto and allen krum (assistant service manager). They also took down a description of the incident and they gave me a rental car. Of note, they said that someone outside of the dealership (a gm rep?) would be coming to look over the car.

I noticed there was a recall on similar year makes/models in regards to brake system failures. My 2015 chevy Traverse frequently has braking issues related to the recall. It often always has noise from the brake pedal when depressed that sounds like air being expelled from the line. This happens at multiple rates of speeds in multiple driving conditions; including slow city driving, highway at high speeds, in rain and in snow as well as dry days. This has occurred from the day I purchased the vehicle in August 2016. Is the 2015 chevy Traverse being investigated as well or will it be? thank you!.
