NHTSA Complaint #10592458 — 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEED COMING UP TO A LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE BRAKES RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WITH TWO OTHER CARS. THERE WAS DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR IN FRONT DUE TO THE COLLISION. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH AND THAT HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. WE NOTICED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, THAT AT SLOW SPEEDS, IT REQUIRED WAY TOO MUCH PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. THERE IS A THIRD PARTY INVOLVED IN THE WRECK WHO MAY SEEK BODY INJURY. *JS
