was driving my vehicle listed above when it sputtered like it had bad gas then lost power. error message said "reduced engine power".. went to turn around to go home that's when I noticed could not push in brake pedal very hard error message said "service park assist". finally got it home turned it off and now will not crank back up. brake fluid was low but I take it to a Chevrolet dealership for routine maintenance just took it in January 6. had it for 13 months no issues. what happened? why won't it start?

Good morning,

The first thing I would do is check the fuel pressure to be sure there is sufficient fuel at the injectors.

I attached the flow chart for the fuel system below.
