Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2021 TRAILBLAZER (ONLY 160 MILES) AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP AT THE END OF A STREET. SUDDENLY, I GOT ALERTS THAT MY BRAKE SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND RIGHT AFTER THAT, ANOTHER ONE, SAYING THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. AT THAT POINT, IT REQUIRED MUCH MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM VERY RESPONSIVE. LATER I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, BUT I THINK THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT, JUST IN CASE.
