I was at a red light waiting to make a turn and once the green light came on I stepped on the gas. I was about to stop at the next red light and my brakes wouldn't work. A metal noise can be heard as I stepped on the brake. The closer I got I kept stepping all the way down the brake pedal. The "brake assist" light came on. I pulled over and gave the brakes a few pumps and still wouldn't break until I shut the car and turned back on. I released the handle break on and off. Also stepped on the brakes and everything went back to normal. Now I don't feel comfortable driving it till Monday when I call the dealer.

When driving vehicle and making a left turn, there is a loud sound what sounds like rubbing coming from rear tires. Took it in for an oil change and tire rotation in which the mechanic couldn't find an issue. Three days later I received a notification on my screen stating to service the parking break.

'incident #1: on June 15, 2018, after making my normal commute to and from work, I arrived home. Later that evening, when I tried to start my car, I was not able to start it at all. I was unable to figure out what the issue was and had to have it towed back to the dealership. It turned out that the issue was the starter - an issue that should definitely not need to be of concern to a new car owner. While I was provided with a loaner car, I was highly inconvenienced during my father's day weekend. 'incident #2: while driving car to an appointment on Thursday, June 21, 2018, the gas pedal got stuck and I could not stop the car. I repeatedly tried to apply brakes but this did not work. To avoid crashing, risking my safety and the safety of the other road users, I had to make a quick decision. This decision was for me to kick the gas pedal to break it. In order to drive the car to a safe location, I literally had to use an umbrella in place of the gas pedal to give power to the car.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. While driving various speeds, the brakes failed. The vehicle was taken to H & L Chevrolet in darien, Connecticut, but the failure could not be duplicated. Loehmann blasius Chevrolet Cadillac in waterbury, Connecticut also could not duplicate the failure of the brakes not "grabbing" as indicated in the work order; however, they updated the electronic body control module. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: 8-4000764280. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000. * consumer stated loehman blasius was able to call engineers at Chevrolet corporate for help said snow tires were causing the issue and gave the car back. Swapped snow tires for factory as advised and issue with brakes was still happening. Because of the issue I have been having with the brakes and because it only happens in rainy conditions. It makes it very difficult to schedule on appointment with the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from when I also need a loaner and work the hours they are open. Updated 10/22/18

The breaks failed on my 2016 Camaro. Lost all power to breaks on city street they pulsed and vibrated on dry pavement but had no grip and had to stop by using transmission. Turned car off then back on breaks worked after that. Dealer and Chevy says nothing is wrong and no error codes and they have no complaints on record. Very lucky no one was hurt. Whole news groups on web talk about this problem. www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php"T=459802 why are there no recalls and why is GM denying there is a problem??" do not feel safe driving car.

While pulling through a fast food drive-thru, I applied the brakes and "brake assist" illuminated on the dashboard. This resulted in reduced braking with the ABS module pulsating. Once at a complete a stop the brakes were still applied although my foot was not pressing the brakes. Giving the vehicle gas let the brakes release. The dealership said they could not duplicate the problem. It happened again and it was driven directly to the dealership with the light on. I have been without my vehicle for weeks and I'm being told it will be another 60-90days before GM has a new program to fix the issue.
