The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving, approaching a traffic light, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), rear collision warning, service assist, front collision warning, check engine light, and multiple brake warning lights illuminated. The emergency brake failed to function. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where the master cylinder failure was diagnosed, and the part was replaced. However, while driving after the repair, a complete brake failure occurred alongside the same warning lights. The contact lost control of the vehicle and traversed two intersections. The contact attempted multiple times to stop the vehicle, and the contact's daughter exited the moving vehicle before the contact stopped the engine by depressing the ignition button.

While I was pulling into an intersection, my brakes and break system failed. The brake pedal went straight to the floor without any resistance. I had no ability to put on an emergency break. I was able to navigate into a parking lot where i still could not get my vehicle to come to a complete stop but I was able to put it into park. The warning on my car read "Break assist failure. Press hard to break. Speed limited." I was already driving in traffic while I received this warning.

Vehicle: 2025 Chevrolet Traverse LT FWD VIN: [XXX] Purchase Date: XXX Incident Date: XXX Mileage: 35,975 INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: On Fr XXX, just seven days after purchasing this vehicle from Enterprise Car Sales, I started my 2025 Chevrolet Traverse and was immediately presented with multiple serious braking and vehicle safety-system warnings. The primary warning stated: "BRAKE ASSIST FAILURE. PRESS HARD TO BRAKE. SPEED LIMITED." Additional warnings included: - Service ESC (Electronic Stability Control) - ABS warning light illuminated - Traction/stability control warning - Forward Collision System Unavailable - Red BRAKE warning illuminated - Check Engine light illuminated These warnings appeared during the same startup event while the vehicle was stationary. SAFETY CONCERNS: I am extremely concerned that a vehicle with fewer than 36,000 miles is reporting a potential failure of its power-assisted braking system, along with simultaneous malfunctions involving ABS, stability control, and forward collision protection. The dashboard specifically instructed me to press harder to brake and indicated that vehicle speed was limited. This raises serious concerns about braking performance and the ability to safely stop the vehicle, particularly during an emergency. I am aware of NHTSA investigation EA26006 concerning potential electronic braking-system failures in certain General Motors vehicles, including the Chevrolet Traverse. The symptoms reported in that investigation appear similar to the warnings displayed by my vehicle. The underlying cause has not yet been confirmed. MANUFACTURER NOTIFICATION: I formally reported this incident to Chevrolet/General Motors. GM Case Number: XXX Photographs documenting the warnings and mileage are available. REQUEST: I request that NHTSA document this incident as a potential vehicle safety defect and evaluate whether it relates to existing complaints or investigations INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Two issues have been occurring with my car amongst many others, but these are the most recent my vehicle has all seatbelt sensors go off despite no one else being in the vehicle, but me the driver my sensor does not go off. It will not stop beeping or screaming at me until I have to pull over turn off my car turn it back on and essentially reset the system. The other thing my car intermittently when I shifted into park at a full stop for example like in my driveway my foot is fully pressed on the brake, and my car will completely shut off and jerk the car forward and backwards when I shift into park, the engine shuts off but the car was never turned off just shifted in to park. and then resets my entire car all the electrical panels, the dashboard everything goes off-line, then comes back online and I get a message that says to reset driver window, lower window all the way down and raise it back up to which I later found that this meant the entire car program was just reset and started over… This is really frustrating and I fear of something like this happening while I’m actively driving It is not letting me upload the video
