What owners wrote

A loud popping noise heard through the radio when light pressure applied to brakes. Noise loud enough to scare the hell out of all the occupants in the car. Brakes squeaked when car was in reverse. Tried to slow down on wet pavement. Car started to veer to the right. Forward collision warning nor automatic emergency braking worked. Pushed brake all the way to the floor and the car did not slow. Rear ended another car. No airbags deployed. My passenger was okay. I got diagnosed with a concussion.

February 2025 CrashInjury

I was driving my brand new 2021 trailblazer (only 160 miles) and stepped on the brake to stop at the end of a street. Suddenly, I got alerts that my brake system had failed and right after that, another one, saying that the power steering needed to be serviced. At that point, it required much more pressure on the brake to stop, and the brakes didn't seem very responsive. Later I shut off the engine, and when I started it again, the check engine light was still on, but I think the brakes were working again.
