I was driving my car Monday and I almost crash with the car in front of me the brakes doesnt work and then in the panel start lights of the engine the supension light and sigh saying brake asistant, the car is park because the brakes and I look for recalls and I call GMC and they says that I dont have any recall but I almost die Monday because the vacum pump for the brakes fail and all the lights in the pannel start light up.
Vehicle was under recall and service was completed at gm dealer mid October. Following recall for brake vacum pump and new computer program, I lost my brakes on several occasions at slow speeds in reverse and forward. Vehicle was returned to dealer and after two days of testing vehicle would not duplicate issue or provide a code. Dealer returned vehicle. That day 11/05/2019 brake failure occured on two seperate occasions backing out of driveway on grade. Upon contact with dealer advised they would not do anything further until a code was provided. If I wished to replace the ebc vacum pump it would be out of pocket. Vehicle has been driven daily until another appointment can be made. On 11/13/2019 brake failure occured again on two occasions. When failure occurs pedal goes to the floor and what sounds like abs noise is active with a pulsation in the pedal. Vehicle will not stop and have to use e-brake to come to a complete stop as braking distance is dramaticly reduced. A follow-up appoint will be made with gm dealer again.

Low speed brake failure: at low speeds the brake pedal became firm and the vehicle did not stop in an appropriate time. This led to two near accidents. Both times the vehicle was in a line of cars that was stop and go picking up children at after school. Serious concern that the vehicle will not stop and injure children trying to load or unload. The problem appears to occur only at low speeds only.
Driving at low speeds (5 mph or below) the brakes failed to engage. The brake pedal was stiff and offered little press. Pressing the pedal extremely hard brought the vehicle to a stop. This happened multiple times in a single day, almost causing an accident in traffic and did cause me to bump into our garage wall.
