The vehicle was in motion going 55 mph on the turnpike and traffic ahead was slowing down. The brake was applied and it failed to work. My son, the driver, pushed the brake again and it still was not braking. Out of desperation, he pushed the brake as far as it could go and the vehicle swerved toward the median. He turned the steering wheel and then it swerved toward the shoulder. This action made the vehicle slow down, but the brakes still did not work.there were no other vehicles involved, but he was very close to crashing into another vehicle. I checked to see if there were any recalls or safety issues for the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. There was one recall that described what he experienced, but the recall was not for the engine type of my Cruze. It was bulletin #12213-brake vacuum micro switch. He has an appointment with the Chevrolet dealer to check out the vehicle. By the way, the vehicle passed state inspection less than a month ago. Frankly, I am afraid to have him drive the vehicle.

My brakes keep going "hard" and not functioning properly. About a year ago I had my master cylander, brake booster, microswitch in the brake vacuum line, maf sensor and air intake hose replaced because the mechanic said those were the issues, I went 2 weeks without my vehicle, including breaking down for multiple days out of state. Now here I am with the same issues. Before I had them replaced I was told that the microswitch in the brake system was already recalled and replaced. But since then it has failed again. I was told by Chevy that they only do the recall once, but if they are replacing it with a faulty part shouldn't that be recalled again? I have two toddlers in my vehicle regularly and losing the power brakes could end very bad. The power brakes fail almost every day, usually the first time I hit the brakes after starting to vehicle. Witch make me think that its going to completely fail again soon.

Takata recall on or about July 2016 I noticed when I put my car in reverse I tried to brake and my car would stay in movement and require me to slam down on the brake pedal. Ever since the first time I noticed it, it has gotten worse. The brake pedal gets hard and my car keeps rolling when I'm in reverse and driving forward. It happens frequently but sometimes will go away. I thought it could be a result of my engine not reaching the right temperature but it has happened midway through my commutes. I've been told that there are no recalls for my car but I feel this is a huge safety problem, I tried to parallel park the other day and couldn't do it because my car kept rolling around. This has happened on city streets, I have not noticed it when im on the highway.

While parallel parking on a city street, brakes became unresponsive and I almost hit another car. I have had to have the brake booster pump replaced twice in two years and now it needs to be replaced again but dealer won't acknowledge that there is a known issue and because it is not involved in a recall, why I do not know, I must pay out of pocket. 3 booster pumps in 2 years but no recall"?"

When the car is in reverse, the brakes barely work. You must fully depress the brake pedal, and even then, it will not stop immediately. This problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion and in reverse. In drive, the brakes work as they should. I believe this vehicle should be included in the current recall on 2012 Chevy Cruze in which there is an issue with the electric vacuum pump, causing the failure of the brakes. That recall number is 13V360000. This could cause serious injury or death.

The car has had all recall work done for both issues however the vehicle is spewing oil again and even after the brakes have been replaced the vehicle does not stop when in reverse or moving slowly forward. Chevy states that these issues are now my issue and and spends because recall work is only one year on the warranty. When backing out from a parking spot or driveway the vehicle does not stop when the brakes are pressed and oil leaks randomly. In 2015 as they made the reveal repair the vehicle caught fire, however they claimed to have repaired the issue.

Same issue as NHTSA id number: 11024806 I received recall #12213 in October 2013 regarding brake vacuum micro switch. Vehicle was taken to local dealership in December 2013 for repair. On 8/23/17 had to take back to the dealer to have this same part replaced. Dealer indicated that since this had already been repaired as part of the replacement, would not be covered. As a result, had to pay $330 out of pocket to replace this part which was a previously known defect that had yet again failed.

This complaint is in regards to General Motors particularly the Chevrolet division not responding to ongoing brake problem noted in their recall notifications. I received recall #12213 in October 2013 regarding brake vacuum micro switch. Vehicle was taken to local dealership in December 2013 for repair. It is 3 years 9 months and the same component has failed again according to my local dealership and claims it is no longer under warranty or recall since it was replaced once already. I showed them a subsequent recall notice # 12213A dated June 2015 with the same part at issue. They claim that the recall I presented was not assigned to my vehicle because of the VIN number. No where in the document dated June 2015 does it state that this recall is only for certain VIN numbers. In fact it clearly identifies 2011-2012 Chevrolet Cruze as the problem year vehicle which I own. If recall notices are VIN number specific then it should be stated some where on the recall notice that these recalls are VIN number specific. As a consumer when we look this information up and it clearly identifies the year make and model of the vehicle I own it should be safe to assume that the recall applies. Your assistance and clarification in this mater would be greatly appreciated.
