When putting my 2012 Chevy Cruze into reverse to back up, the brakes do not seem to work properly - the car does not stop until I press on the brake very hard. This has been happening more often now then before - almost every time in car, making driving/parking backing out of parking lot, very unnerving. This is on level grade - not on a hill. I've also need on-line this was part of a major recall, but when contacted Chevrolet hq, they said that this was not an issue for my VIN. I'm sure they would change their mind just sitting in my car once. This should be corrected by Chevrolet at no cost - and/or be part of the recall.

Recall bulletin 12213 performed April 2014 for brake vacuum micro switch. Recalled part failed again August 2016. Vehicle has hard brake pedal upon cold start and sometimes when restarted after driving and warm. Vehicle becomes very hard to stop without warning and unsafe to drive. Dealer refused to replace part at no cost stating no additional recall exists and no warranty exists. It is unclear if this is the very start of a larger systemic problem with the actual design of these micro switches in this application. GM part number 13460776 has become obsolete and part now comes as sub assembly with additional parts. This leads me to believe original design of micro switch was defective.
