The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
* What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" The breaks continually squeak so loud. They have done this since the first month I had car. The dealership said that they compared it, and it is normal for the car. On paper, they wrote could not replicate, even though they could. It-??s so loud and annoying. New car should not sound like this. Tires slide on snow and ice. * How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk" In any weather conditions, yes. I have slid on ice many times. I had a near death experience on a snowy morning hiting a slick spot and fish tailing. The tires provided should be better than what they are. Another time last week I drove over melted snow (40 degrees out) must have been ice under, car would not break and I was unable to stop at the stop sign! It skidded through. * Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center" Break sound has been reproduced and they said they can-??t do anything. They documented that they couldn-??t reproduce it. That was frustrating. Tires I will share concerns when I return. * Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? * No * Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" * My check engine light has come on at least 3 times. That-??s a separate issue with this car. Multiple check engine lights with no known issue to solve at dealership.

With less than 9,000 miles driven on the vehicle, the entire brake system failed as I was driving. I have since learned that there was a faulty master brake cylinder installed when the vehicle was built. No brake fluid was getting to any of the brakes. When the incident occurred, I was able to pump the brake pedal all the way to the floor in order to get the vehicle to stop. I felt the power brakes go out, the service light started flashing on the dash, and several warnings popped up. These warnings included: "Brake System Failure", "Speed Restricted", and "Hard Braking Required". Even with hard braking it was difficult to get the vehicle to stop. I was very lucky that I was not travelling at a high rate of speed and was on a low-traffic road when the incident occurred. Had it been 2 minutes later I would've been on a major interstate and could've put my own and others' lives at risk. The vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealership I purchased it from and will be in their position for the next month while waiting on a new part.

While car was in motion a warning suddenly came onto screen stating "Brake assist problem, service asc, vehicle speed will be reduced for safety". Pedal was very hard to press, and was almost impossible to stop car with the speed less then 20 mph when the problem occurred. Dealer reports that the Master brake Cylinder needs replaced. This car has less then 500 miles on it at time of occurrence. At this time I am unaware if part is being evaluated as a safety issue. The dealer has been unable to get GM to provide a replacement part.
