Warning Signs of Defective GM Brakes

The brake defect makes it difficult to stop: the brake pedal becomes hard, requiring the driver to use significantly more force to slow their vehicle down and stop before hitting another vehicle or pedestrian. The warning signs of defective brakes in a GM vehicle include difficulty slowing down, delayed brake response, hard brake pedals, unusual sounds, and leaking fluids.
