NHTSA complaint #11114144, filed 2018-07, 64,592 miles“Intermittent different levels in break pedal travel. At times my car stops normally when the brake pedal is first pressed (about 2 inches). Other times the brake pedal travel is much greater (about 4 inches or more), and the pedal has a spongy feel. I have taken the car back to Buick numerous times, and they state they can not find any problem. This is a very serious problem, especially at highway speeds, where I am never sure I will be able to stop the car in time to avoid an accident.”
