REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPOT AND BRAKE PEDALS WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK. I HAD TO PUSH EXTRA HARD ON THE PEDALS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES IN TO DASH NOTIFICATION FOR A SECOND THEN GOES AWAY AND BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 DAYS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.
I WAS DRIVING A 2018 GMC YUKON DENALI, BRAKING/SLOWED TO ABOUT 8 MPH FOR TRAFFIC JAM, WHEN REAR ENDED AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH BY A 2000 BUICK LESABRE. REAR END COLLISION LAUNCHED MY 2018 GMC YUKON DENALI, AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH INTO STOPPED VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME, A 2010 JEEP COMMANDER WHICH WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. JEEP COMMANDER WAS PROPELLED INTO 2015 NISSAN XTERRA, ALSO STOPPED IN TRAFFIC.
