“My brakes stopped working randomly. Alarms started going off in the car. Thankfully I was able to quickly turn right instead of rolling into traffic. This was terrifying and could have caused a very serious wreck.”
NHTSA complaint #11700916, filed 2025-11“keep quit working when i was driving , i just pick up from delearship for i another issue with on-star and is not part available is been there for over month not fix and now the brakes issue”
NHTSA complaint #11688403, filed 2025-09“Roughly one to two times per day, a notification pops up on the infotainment screen stating that the brakes need to be serviced due to the brake assist system failing. The vehicle has been brought to 3 different dealerships and none of them know what the problem is, how to fix it, or whether it is safe to drive the vehicle still. The brakes seem to be working fine, however, it is concerning that even if the notification is safe to ignore, the brakes could indeed end up failing and the driver may not be aware due to receiving frequent brake failure notifications per day.”
