Abs Brake Fail Problems of Chevrolet Volt

Incident occurred while coming to a stop at a traffic signal on city streets. Reached approximately 5 mph as I approached he intersection, when brake pedal went to floor, and normal braking failed. Pressing the pedal as hard as I could, was able to get car to a stop in 2 car lengths, but overran the limit line. Luckily there were no pedestrians or other vehicles in front of me. No injuries or property damage. Car was towed to dealership for diagnostics. Car reported "leaking brake circuit" via remote manufacturer diagnostics. Internal displays indicate "brake assist failure", "abs failure" and "stabilitrak service required".

On 5-21-14 I was driving 25 mph when I had to do an panic stop to avoid another car. At this point the car lost all power and my brakes went to floor. I missed hitting the other car by inches. Once I restarted the Volt it came up with a dash warning to "service brakes". I drove about 20 mph for 1 mile to find a safe place to pull over and park. All the while testing my brakes and they were very mushy. Once I pulled over and stopped another warning message came up on dash saying "abs failure". I called aaa and had car taken to dealership. It has now been at dealership for 21 days and still counting without even one update from dealership. Once at dealership the car acted normal as if nothing was wrong.
