When approaching a red light at 5-10mph, I engaged the brakes, but the brakes did not work and the automatic breaking didn't work either, leading me to rear end the car in front of me. There were no prior warnings lights or notices, and the breaks were working properly before and after the accident. The car was towed to the dealership for inspection, but they could not find anything wrong and have contacted GM for further inspection.

I was driving the car on the turnpike and out of nowhere the rear collision system went offline and the automatic breaking was triggered while I was going 70 mph in rush hour. The brakes started to smoke and smell and the the warning of -??breaks overheating. do not drive. call service-?? happened. I proceeded to narrowly avoid many cars on the road by having to cross three lanes of traffic over to the shoulder and the car was fully smoking, I quickly turned it off I got out and stepped away. After some time when I felt safe returning to the vehicle I turned it back on and was still showing breaks were overheated message and then was forced to get the car towed and take an Uber home. The vehicle is only 2 months old with ~3300 miles on it. The vehicle is currently sitting at the closest dealership to the event and they are unable to work on it due to a lack of EV service provided there and they told me they are unable to have it moved to the dealership I purchased it at.

As I approached a stop sign and hit the brake the car did not stop. I pounded on the brake but there was no response at all; it just coasted forward. The car continued to move and hit the car in front of me stopped at the stop sign. That car, a Nissan Rogue, had no damage. I was barely moving but the plastic sheet in the front of the Lyriq was cracked.

There was -??Brake System Failure-?? message on the EV-??s digital display. It happened 3 times in less than a month. When it happened, I had to apply the break very hard. Otherwise, the car would not stop completely and would not hit the car in front. Top speed is limited 43 mph so I could not drive it on freeway.

Without warning and while driving this vehicle on expressway, I've received the following notifications several times: "Brake Failure" (car brakes on its own); "Service Stability and Auto Hold"; and "High Voltage" and Battery. Brakes, speed, steering, parking systems and camera do not work properly. Car's capacity to drive vehicle safely is reduced significantly - speed to drive car is immediately reduced and is limited without warning. Car shakes passengers violently (whiplash) when it believes there are people or objects in its path when there is nothing there and does not work properly when pedestrians are around the vehicle. During the incidents both my safety and other drivers safety are at risk - I am afraid to drive this vehicle although the dealership has indicated they have corrected the errors.Vehicle purchased 23 Oct - problems began around 2300 miles and have continued thru 4200 miles.

When in reverse abrupt automatic braking occurs. Safety hazard with abrupt stop around other vehicles, hard braking causes driver and passenger to pitch forward. No warning. Automatic Braking disabled, sensors checked, settings adjusted by dealer. Dealer says there is nothing they can do. General Motors contacted but no action taken to date.
