The brake pedal gets 'stuck' during normal breaking. i have to put my foot under the pedal and pull it back up or the brakes will not disengage.
Brake pedal does not raise after apply, remains applied and brake lights remain on unwanted when car is in motion and stationary on streets, highways and while turning. gm issued an internal bulletin on 05/11/2018 (see pic5692d) recognizing that this problem exists among 5 of its models (buick lacrosse, buick regal, cadillac srx, cadillac xts and chevrolet malibu) with the lacrosse problem beginning 2010 through 2015. brustolon, a gm dealer in mystic, ct charged me $70.63 to replace the pedal and retainer clips. given how widespread this problem has been among several gm models for up to 6 years, this repair should be the responsibility of gm as a recall at no cost to the vehicle owner.this situation is a significant safety issue because the brake pedal when depressed remains applied wearing the brakes out prematurely. *js
