| Description of the problem | My brakes failed in heavy highway traffic when trying to merge over. The vehicle was stopped then coasting and brakes would not work. Got towed to dealer for gm recall n192268490. Recall was performed. Brakes failed 45 miles later when slowly backing into driveway. The faulty program that has been recalled is known to damage the vacuum pump yet chevrolet has only recalled the program and not the vacuum pump. I filed a case with chevrolet monday 10/14/19 and was told i would receive a call in 1 to 2 business days. I have not received a call back. I spoke with someone today who said the senior service advisor is scheduled to call me at 9pm friday 9/18/19. My grandson and i waited over 3 hours for our onstar tow and he is absolutely devastated by the fear he experienced. |
