VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON A STEEP CITY STREET BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNING LEFT. VEHICLE WENT TO MOVE FORWARD AND TURN LEFT AND IT SHUT OFF AND ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE STEEP HILL. WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED, BRAKES COULD NOT BE PRESSED, WHEN GAS WAS PRESSED IT DID NOT GO FORWARD, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS IT WAS LIKE IT SHUT OFF AFTER BEING IN AUTO STOP MODE. PARKING BRAKE ASSIST CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A CEMENT POLE. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE. HAD TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE, RESTART AND TRIED TO RELEASE PARKING BRAKE 5 MORE TIMES BEFORE IT RELEASED. THIS VEHICLE OFTEN ROLLS BACKWARDS AFTER BEING IN AUTO STOP MODE AND THE GAS NEEDS TO BE PUSHED HARD IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO FORWARD. THIS VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT SLOWS DOWN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AT TIMES AND YOU NEED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL HARDER. THE BRAKES SQUEAK OFTEN WHEN WET AND COLD AND SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PUSH IT DOWN, YOU HAVE TO PUSH IT SEVERAL TIMES, LET UP AND PUSH IT AGAIN BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START.

109 MILES ON MY TRAVERSE 2018 & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. DALE WILLEY AUTOMOTIVE REPLACED THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM CHECK VALVE & HOSE. DROVE IT AND WITHIN 2 DAYS WHILE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AGAIN. DROVE IT OVER THE WEEKEND AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER AT 438 MILES AND THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. HAVE HAD NO ISSUES AFTER THIS WAS DONE REGARDING THE BRAKES.

AFTER ABOUT 1000 MILES THE BRAKES STARTED GRINDING, AND ALERT WOULD POP UP TO SERVICE THEM AND THEY WOULD BE A HEAVY VIBRATION AS THE ANTILOCK BRAKES WOULD BE KICKING IN EVEN AT VERY LOW SPEED'S. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE BRAKE SENSORS, AFTER ANOTHER TWO WEEKS IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN THEY REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT HAD A SHORT IN IT . BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD THE PARTS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THE THIRD AND FOURTH TIME BUT I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I LOST ALMOST 2 WEEKS OF HAVING THE CAR IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. IT NOW HAS 3500 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AT 5 MPH AND EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WERE TOUCHED
