I HAVE AN 2007 MALIBU LS V6, ONE NIGHT I PLACED MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, REMOVED MY KEY AND SEATBELT LIKE I NORMALLY DO AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE BRAKES WHICH DID NOT RESPOND AND THE CAR ROLLED OFF OF A SMALL CLIFF. I ALONG WITH A PASSENGER WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND SINCE WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING WE WERE THROWN FORWARD WHEN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE HIT THE GROUND. I PLAYED THAT DAY BACK SO MANY TIMES AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE CAR DID THAT. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EVENT AND I DON'T ATTEMPT TO PARK ON INCLINES ANYMORE. SINCE THIS EVENT, I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALLS FROM THE COMPANY WITH NO DATE IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID I WILL ATTEMPT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AGAIN. THANK GOODNESS THIS FIRST TIME DID NOT RESULT IN A PHYSICAL INJURY, JUST A TRAUMATIZING EVENT. *TR
