| After purchase of a new 2009 ss hhr. during the morning i backed into my garage and noticed a very soft brake pedal. i then started to proceed into the garage and when attempting to stop the vehicles brakes would not comply with my brake pressure and the vehicle proceeded to hit the side of our house. this became a routine situation upon cold startups and when reported to the dealer,(classic chevy chevrolet, grapevine, tx) after several poor stops, myserive advisor advised yeah we know about it. but there was no fix at the time when confronted with a possible fix he advised that i made arrangements to have the car repaired when the fix from gm engineering was issued refused to service the car. gm customer service personnel and the bulletin advised that they are working on the issue. i never got the rear of the car repaired due to the failure pressure failure. | |||
