Purchased vehicle in 2018. I-??m the only owner. At the 84,000 miles mark lost brake pedal pressure. Detected the problem while parking. Took the car to the dealership for repairs. The car is at the dealership now and the dealership so far has said it may be the vacuum pump. They said that they are confirming if this is the case.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. While driving 60 mph and exiting the highway, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not respond. The contact veered to the shoulder of the road, allowing the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The contact attempted to turn the vehicle off and back on, which failed to return the vehicle to normal. The contact was able to drive the vehicle at low speeds to Sierra Chevrolet (721 E central ave, monrovia, ca 91016, (626) 605-1537). The dealer diagnosed that the brake assist module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer to have the brake module repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall.

While driving on the highway at 60 -70 mph in light to medium rain and it was around 35 degress, my brakes failed to work. I pressed on the brake pedal and there was no resistance. The pedal went to the floor and no brakes were applied until 3 sec. It felt like it was building pressure and after 3sec it applied the brakes forcebly becuse the petal was on the floor. It was very scary and I almost got into several accidents. The problem kept occuring during the entire 3 hr drive. Everytime I wanted to use the brakes I had none unti after 3sec. The car has 25000 miles and still the factory tires. Around 4months ago I had the rotors and pads changed out by the dealer. After I reached my destination my check engine light came on. Not sure if its related or aother new issue. Car has been at the dealer for 3days now.

Bought the vehicle brand new January 2017...2017 convertible Camaro ss. 6 weeks later the brakes have been squeaking all day every day. They squeak on any type of road and at any time of the day. I have brought it to 3 dealerships to be looked at and filed a formal complaint with GM they refuse to help me with anything. I have found thousands of the same complaints online and is just refusing to fix the issue or refund the money for these vehicles. They are saying the squeaking of the brakes is normal. I asked for them to replace them and fix the issue and they won't. now when the vehicle gets over 50 mph the whole front end also vibrates and when I come to a complete stop and press the gas to accelerate it lunges forward. Nothing is being fixed.
