2020 Chevrolet Camaro

Prior to the incident (vehicle crash), immediately after the vehicle was purchased (March 2023), it was taken back to the dealership several times due to a slight noise and sensation the wheels and brakes were making. The issue was internment, and the dealership insisted they were unable to replicate the issue. It felt as if the wheels were momentarily locking when slowing down to apply the brakes. We thought it was a brake issue, but the dealership assured us the brakes were ok. Due to the ongoing issue with the interment, we decided to purchase new tires that were the recommended size for the vehicle, rather than the original tires it Recently (on 09/5/2024), we upgraded the wheels and tires to wider OEM spec wheels in an effort to improve the vehicle's efficiency during driving and braking. On May 25, 2025, after a vehicle brake-checked the vehicle in front of our Camaro, the Camaro was unable to adequately perform the brake operation due to wheel lockup, resulting in an accident. While the vehicle in front of our Camaro managed to maneuver out of the way, the Camaro's wheels locked when decreasing speed to apply the brakes. When brakes were applied despite only traveling at 37-40 mph, the Camaro felt like it was not slowing down, as if the brakes were not working correctly. Forcing a maneuver to the left side, scraping and damaging the front and rear wheels/tires, and impacting the rear end of a 2021 Chevrolet Spark. The Camaro suffered substantial damage exceeding 19,000, and our son, the driver, sustained physical injuries. Unfortunately, we were NOT notified of the recall # N242480630, until June 2 2025 many days after the accident. We received the notification via the OnStar service we pay for, and a few days after via the Progressive Insurance app. A police report was filed, my son was ticketed for failing to control the vehicle, and the insurance deemed it an at-fault accident (due to being a rear-end collision). The vehicle has been deemed a total loss.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR DURING A TRACK DAY. THE CAMARO WAS A 1LE TRACK PACKAGE AND GM SELLS IT WITH A WARRANTY FOR TRACK AS WELL AS INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHANGES TO THINGS INCLUDING MOVING TO A DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID. I HAD DONE THAT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE ACCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE FOUND IT'S HAPPENED TO OTHERS AS WELL, PERFECT BRAKES ONE CORNER, NONE THE NEXT. AND I HAVE VIDEO FROM IN CAR FROM THAT PERSON AS WELL. CAR TURNED RIGHT UPON SECOND APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, SLIDE SIDEWAYS INTO ANOTHER CAR, THEN ROLLED. I HAVE VIDEO, AND PICTURES OF THE AFTERMATH. LF WHEEL WAS RIPPED OFF THE CAR, TEARING THE BRAKE LINE AWAY AND LOSING ALL THE FLUID AFTER THE FACT. CAR HAD 1680 MILES ON IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE WHEN I HAD LOOKED AT THE ODOMETER. AFTER ACCIDENT THE POWER WAS CUT AND COULD NOT SEE ANY OF THAT.
