“Engine quit causing brakes and steering to become inoperative. This is the 5th time this has happened. I have previously reported this to NHTSA and general motors.I never received a response from GM. I took the vehicle to my dealer and the only thing they did was reprogram the vehicle but apparently it did no good. I think the problem is in the ignition system.”

NHTSA complaint #10594464, filed 2014-05, 62,362 miles“I noted the exact same problem reported on the NHTSA site for this same make and model of car. It's included under the heading vehicle speed control. I just purchased this car in the past month and now notice that each time I try to move my foot from the foot feed to the brake pedal my foot catches on the side of the brake pedal. It seems to me to be an obvious safety risk in that it takes another movement of my foot to get it on the brake pedal slowing my response to brake. …”

Was told brake pads, calipers & brake fluid were all okay. I was advised to monitor...that condition was due to brake pads wearing & when brake pads wear, the pedal will move further down because pads have to travel farther in to press against the rotors . 5/28/14:returned car to dealership as brake pedal was almost touching the floor when depressed. They determined that my master cylinder had failed...was replaced.”
