general problems of the 2016 GMC Terrain

I was driving my morning commute to work, when I came upon a stop light. I was pressing the brakes and the brakes failed to engage which caused me to hit a car in front of me. I did not have any warnings that the brakes were defective. The warning on the dash did not indicate that there was anything wrong with brakes. I had my set belt, was going the speed limit and my brakes just gave out. I have injury’s to my arms, shoulder, neck, and head. The other vehicle driver was not hurt. Thank the lord.

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked in a driveway on a hill, the contact heard something snap and then the vehicle stated to roll down the hill thought the neighbor’s yard into the woods. No one was injured. The vehicle was towed. The dealer or the manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 66,780.

The engine light comes on, then "service stabiltrak light" comes on. It starts by making it difficult to accelerate at a red stop light when it changes green. When turning a corner, because there is no quick acceleration, it has caused near miss accidents. As time goes on it becomes worse. I have lost power on the expressway and have to pull over. I have brought this car in several times and GMC has not made any repairs. It is scary when a semi is rolling behind you and you can't accelerate to get out of the way. This is a safety issue. I have received no help from GMC.

When brakes are applied the vehicle takes extremely long time to properly stop. Brakes feel soft and fade when applied and I have nearly struck vehicles from the rear several times when attempting to stop. I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic but, no obvious defect were found by the mechanic. I fear that the brakes are not properly functioning in this vehicle and it is a factory defect.
