I’ve purchased other cars from them. They probably did the same thing. I just happened to check the vin against the federal database. They are working w

My 2020 Chevrolet Trax has experienced recurring brake problems for approximately two years. The issue involves the brake pedal becoming unusually resistant and the vehicle failing to brake normally when I apply the pedal. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection.
