2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO FAIL WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE.*JS

TAKATA RECALL ON OR ABOUT JULY 2016 I NOTICED WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE I TRIED TO BRAKE AND MY CAR WOULD STAY IN MOVEMENT AND REQUIRE ME TO SLAM DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND MY CAR KEEPS ROLLING WHEN I'M IN REVERSE AND DRIVING FORWARD. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY BUT SOMETIMES WILL GO AWAY. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE A RESULT OF MY ENGINE NOT REACHING THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MIDWAY THROUGH MY COMMUTES. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR BUT I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM, I TRIED TO PARALLEL PARK THE OTHER DAY AND COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE MY CAR KEPT ROLLING AROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT WHEN IM ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, INCLUDING THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THIS CAUSED ALL LIGHTS TO TURN OFF, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER TO BRAKES, AND LITTLE TO CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NOTICED AND TAILED ME TO A STOP WITH THEIR WARNING LIGHTS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE ENGINE WITH A FLASHLIGHT TO DISCOVER THAT THE BATTERY WAS STILL PROPERLY CONNECTED (6 MONTHS OLD) WITH NO FRAYS OR CORROSION TO THE CONNECTORS OR WIRING. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES ATTEMPTING TO FIND A TOW TRUCK COMPANY THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAME BACK ON WITH NO INTERVENTION. I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO ISSUES AND NO ENGINE LIGHTS ON. I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND ALL WERE OPERABLE. THE OBD SCANNER FOUND NO CODES. I AM MID 30S 190IBS AND FAIRLY STRONG, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION OR DURING BUSY HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. I FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MODEL. I ASSUME NOT MANY HAVE REPORTED PROPERLY SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
