Adaptive Cruise Control problem #1

This is the 2nd time this has happened. The 1st time making a left onto route 23 from route 296 in windham NY. Almost got t-boned. Stalled wouldn't start. Waited 5 minutes and it started again. Ran rough then died again thankfully in a more opportune spot. My car randomly & without warning loses all power and electric and shuts down. The 1st time I had it towed to matthews GMC (where I purchased 4 pick ups) and they stated it was a nox sensor and repaired it. Saturday this happened again while driving at 55 mph and stalled on a blind curve (very scary). I left a complaint on this website to hopefully prevent a fatality. I thought I would recieve a response from you the ntsb but didn't. I went online and noticed there a a number of folks that had the same problem. Do you wait for fatalities before action is taken??.

Automatic Emergency Braking problem #2

While driving on the interstate, we were needing to stop because of traffic. The brake pedal became very stiff and was barely able to stop the car. We brought the vehicle into a brake shop to have it looked at. The mechanic stated it was most likely the master cylinder. We replaced that. It still was having the same issue. In total we replaced the master cylinder, brake booster, rotors, brake pads, and calipers. A few weeks later the recall for brake eboost system came out. All of our signs and symptoms point to this. We are wanting to have our truck evaluated for the recall. We were not involved in a crash. After calling the dealership, gm, and now you. Nothing has been told or reported.
