When lightly applying pressure to brakes on freeway, traveling at approximately 60 mph, the tires completely locked up and the car pulled uncontrollably to the left, causing the car to fish tail and slide sideways down the freeway. Vehicle suffered damage to the front end when colliding with the cement median. I will never feel safe getting into this vehicle and getting behind the wheel again. According to the Chevrolet dealer there is "nothing wrong" with the vehicle and all systems are working "as designed".

Upon trying to brake, the brakes did not work. Pressed harder on the brakes and the brakes locked causing my 2005 Malibu to skid uncontrollably into the vehicle in front of me. Started braking approximately 40 - 50 feet from stopped vehicle. Was traveling approximately 40 mph with dry road conditions. Have had several other occasions of skidding when brakes were applied since the 9/23 incident.
