Getting a second look at air conditioning. I was told the compressor could be leaking as there has been no freon for over a month or two. The freon is 120/pound and could cost 1000, he mentioned for freon alone. This is a 2018, purchased last year and I'm dealing with a compressor issue as well as very expensive freon?
The car was stopped on a parking lot exit ramp. When the car ahead of me moved forward I took my foot of of the brake so I could move forward. When I applied the break to stop, the breaks did not work and I hit the car in front of me.
October 10th, I was in an accident where I was literally an entire car length back driving with the flow of traffic at 50-55 mph, when the vehicle in front of me came to an abrupt stop on the freeway. I slammed on my brakes but my car slid straight into the back of the vehicle in front of me. It felt as if my brakes were not stopping my car. I noticed this happening before on a main street and I was travelling at 45 mph but I did not think anything of it at the time.

In February 2019 I purchased a 2018 Chevy Impala premier, upon driving the car I noticed that the brakes were not working like my 2018 Chevy camaro but I chucked it up to the car being heavier and paid it no attention. For months I have been thinking that maybe I just need to get used to the brakes on my new car and that it was nothing. While I drive at normal speeds (40 - 45 mph) my car slid an extra 5- 10 ft more then it is supposed to every time. Yesterday while braking my brakes just totally did not respond causing me to hit the back of another driver. I was driving about 30 mph literally just turning out of a shopping plaza when the accident happened. I started to press the brakes about 50 meters ahead and my car did not budge nor did it begin to stop it continued to drive at the same speed until I prompted to turn and braced for the collision. I hit the back passenger bumper and the sidewalk bringing my car to a halt. This incident which prompted me to look further brung me online to see that there is a recall for the Chevy Impala brakes working improperly. It says that it is on some Impala and I believe that mine is one of them.
