Two other Hertrich Chevrolet dealerships had replaced/ repaired this part and they clearly misd

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.
