Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER SS WITH 13800 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON CITY STREETS WHEN MY BRAKES APPLIED THEM SELVES AND BEGAN TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL HEAVILY SO THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH VEHICLES TURNING AHEAD OF ME AND ALSO VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I GOT TO A SAFE AREA AND PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS FIRM AS CAN BE AND WOULD NOT LOOSEN UP, I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND THE BRAKES DISENGAGED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY WHERE UN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITH NO REPAIRS COMPLETED. I ASKED THEM TO DOCUMENT THIS IN CASE IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND CAUSES A CRASH SO THEY CAN BE HELD LIABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE OPERATING MY VEHICLE ANYMORE KNOWING THAT AT ANY TIME MY BRAKES MIGHT TURN ON. *TR
