Description of the problem | I was driving in a parking lot and went to apply the brakes. There was no resistance, and i had to push the brake pedal down to the floor to get any resistance, and the vehicle finally slowed to a stop, taking much longer than usual. My two young children and wife were in the car with me as well. I got out of the vehicle, and looked underneath, only to see brake fluid leaking out near the front right tire. Upon getting back in the vehicle, i received a warning that the brake fluid level was low. The vehicle has 43,000 miles on it, and we had driven 20+ miles earlier without issue. We did not run anything over or hit anything. There is a current recall on this vehicle regarding a brake issue, however, on towing to the dealer, they told me this issue is not related, yet i feel that it is, and is too coincidental to happen in the exact location of the recalled part. They tried to tell me that i must have run something over to cause the rupture/leak, but i know this is not the case. |
