The contact owns a 2017 Buick Envision. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard. The vehicle failed to immediately stop, causing the braking distance to be extended. Upon inspection, there was brake fluid leaking from the front driver-??s side wheel. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the front driver-??s side brake hose had ruptured causing brake fluid to leak from the vehicle. The brake hose was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact later experienced the same failure to the front passenger-??s side brake hose. The mechanic stated that the rubber hose had detached from the metal coupling. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,902.

Brakes did not engage when my husband pressed on them while he was driving. Brakes when straight to the floor. He noticed brake fluid on the ground and when he filled it back up and pressed on the brakes the fluid spewed out of the brake line. His safety and the safety of others was impacted because he was in traffic and a car started to slow and our Envisions brakes were not working. He had to swerve around multiple cars and go through a traffic light to avoid causing a wreck. This just happened on 7/31 so it has not ben reported but will be going to the dealership tomorrow on 8/1/2022. We did not notice any messages or warning lights on the dash. This appears to be an issue based on the other NHTSA report number 11398881,11396874,11467669,11465728,11454501 and 11406327
