Vehicle lost all braking capability while in motion. Vehicle rolled to a stop with no brakes with warnings for brake system failure, no front collision active. Upon restarting the vehicle the warnings didnt not go way for 1hr. 2 hours later the warnings cleared from the information system but codes remains. Vehicle was taken to Uptown Chevrolet, Slinger WI and was informed of a bad battery as the "cause" of the issue. A bad battery should not result in the loss of braking capability on any vehicle!

Brake pedal went straight down to the bottom and let the truck coast to a stop. SCARED TO DEATH THANK NGOD I DIDN'T HIT OR CRASH !!!!
I was driving down the highway last Friday. I went to slow down to get into another lane and My Tahoe started saying “break failure” and I had no breaks to stop my Tahoe. I pressed the break as far down as I could and had no way to stop. I took my foot off the gas and I drove 10 mph to the dealership 1 mile from my location and coasted to a stop. The dealership called today and said they were needing to replace the entire break module and system. I am so scared to drive my car now. I had my children in the car and I thought we were literally going to wreck.
Total system brake failure while driving on interstate. Unable to stop or slow vehicle, had to run off road to avoid traffic and coast to stop.
My car lost its brakes on [XXX] last December, putting my life and my husband's life in the vehicle at great risk, at that time the vehicle was only 9 months old, after the event the car was taken to the Chevrolet Bay Dealer in Estero, FL, where I bought it with zero miles just a few months ago, it was taken to the dealer to solve the brake problem and the service that corresponded to it, oil change and maintenance by miles, the brake problem was reflected in the Chevrolet application, the dealer offered a supposed repair to the car (December 12, 2024, to December 14, 2024) I have documents that prove that the dealer assured us that the problem had been resolved, that the supposed service was given, but last Thursday, [XXX], just one month after the first accident, the car lost its brakes again on [XXX] at the exit [XXX], causing me to have to drive without brakes, run red lights due to the impossibility of stopping the vehicle, putting my life at risk for the second time.

Brakes system failure message on highway and couldn’t use brakes without standing on them. Once came to a stop in breakdown lane tow driver took us to closest Chevrolet dealer where we were told our vehicle was unsafe to drive and was basically a toboggan. If we weren’t in slow moving traffic we would’ve been in a serious accident. Dealer confirmed by running computer on car that the brake system motor stopped working and lost communication with power steering, transmission, central gateway, brake system control, and engine control. Waiting to see if this is a software issue or if brake motor needs to be replaced. Either way feels very unsafe to drive.
