Started to apply brakes to stop for red light. All of the sudden brake pedal went to the floor which caused me not to be able to stop for the red signal. I ran thru the intersection striking another vechicle. That car was totaled and our truck had 7k in damage. Their were minor injuries to the gentleman I struck and I received two tears in my left rotator cuff which will require a surgical repair. Seatbelt did not engage nor did the air bags deploy. I assume the seatbelt didn't work due to the brake failure.
Brake failure on june 21 2017, caused accident same accident on november 17 2017 and again on september 1 2019. I have had the truck in shop to be fixed numerous times... ABS sensor in front right wheel was supposedly bad. It did not fix problem bc 3 rd accident happened weeks after. 9/11/19 GM released recall for break failure due to the vacuum booster. My issue is exactly what GM had just announced.
