2017 Chevrolet Colorado Complaints

On Wednesday, February 18th, I was driving on the freeway, usual heavy traffic right off of it at 5:00pm. When exiting and merging onto the street, I pressed on my break to slow down and meet the speed of traffic, but my breaks felt hard, I struggled pressing it down, and my car wasn’t slowing down. I was able to swerve off into a dirt patch next to the road. Then I panicked, unable to find where my emergency break was, I put my car in park and it eventually came to a stop. I then took the car to the dealership, and they’ve told me that the vacuum pump needs a replacement. The car has currently been at the dealership for a week and a half and there still seems to be no solution. I’ve reached out to General Motors and with the responses they’ve given me, it feels like they the know what’s going on but have thus far given me the run around. They say they’ve reached out to the dealership, but when I mention it to my dealership advisor, they say they haven’t heard anything.

The heating blend door broke making the heater unusable. I cant defrost/defog my windows to see in February in New york...its a very common problem with this vehicle and the cost to repair is over 3000
