IN LATE MAY 2014 I STARTED GETTING A BRAKE ERROR MESSAGE & MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WOULD PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKES & IT WOULD BE HARD TO BRAKE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL OVER, HOWEVER I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY & TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE, WHEN I TURNED IT ON THE BRAKE ERROR WAS GONE & MY BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON MAY 29, 2014 THEY SAID IT WAS THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER SENSOR, BUT I HAD TO WAIT BECAUSE GM HAD THE ITEM ON BACK ORDER. I GOT THE CAR REPAIRED BUT THE DAY AFTER I PICKED IT UP THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT THIS TIME MY BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY & WE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAILURE. I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN & THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR THE ABS BRAKE ASSEMBLY, SO WE PROCEEDED TO APPROVE THE REPAIR & GET THAT FIXED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AFTER THIS 2ND REPAIR FOR THE SAME ISSUE,BUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING OFF THE LOT I AGAIN GOT THE SAME BRAKE ERROR MESSAGE & MY BRAKES AGAIN WERE FAILING.

Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
