| Description of the problem | Vehicle had a sudden and near complete loss of brake capability. The sudden failure was noted about 1 hour after previous, in which the vehicle had no issues and no warning lights were active. Brake pedal went down to the floor and the "low brake fluid" light came on and war ning sounded from the console. Brakes provided minimal response and largely had to slow down by coasting. No external leaks were visible from the vehicle not did any of the brake lines appear to be damaged. When i checked under the hood, the brake fluid reserve was below the "min" line. Topping it off with brake fluid it did not resolve the problem and the level went back to below "min" after about a 4 mile drive. Taking vehicle to dealership this evening to ascertain cause of sudden failure. |
