I HAD PARKED THE VEHICLE IN AUTO PARK IN A GAS STATION IN ANCHORAGE AK. GOTTEN OUT AND WENT TO THE PUMPS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL. I RACED AROUND THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE; IT STOPPED, RELEASING THE BRAKE IT BEGAN TO ROLL INTO TRAFFIC. THE AUTO BRAKE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE AUTO BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOW ON. I DROVE IT TO SOLDOTNA AK WHERE IT COST ME $800.00 TO REPAIR. THE AUTO BRAKE AGAIN FAILED THIS PAST SUMMER; I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS DISCOVERED TO BECOME DEFECTIVE AND THAT GM HAD CHANGED THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT FAILED.
