Service Brakes problem

Purchased new 2026 GMC Acadia on xxx xxx - fastened seat belts, started vehicle in a driveway, switched into forward gear and vehicle lurched forward while depressing the brake with no braking action occurring (brake pedal went to the floor). Shut off engine and depressed the emergency brake button to stop the vehicle. Vehicle struck another vehicle upon stopping causing several thousand dollars damage. Xxx - notified [xxx]/[xxx] the dealer, no help. Called gm and filed a case #xxx. Vehicle inspected by gm on xxx. No response forthcoming from gm or the dealer yet after 6 weeks since the incident. Xxx - called for a wrecker to have vehicle towed to the dealer where it was purchased. While awaiting the tow truck I completed a video of damage to both vehicles, before starting the vehicle (first time after the accident) the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floor. Started vehicle and brakes regained some braking ability to drive onto a roll back tow truck and delivery to the dealership above. Fortunately, this brake failure happened in a private driveway and not within a busy intersection where major injuries likely would have occurred. Still waiting on general motors!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
