Description of the problem | While driving my vehicle for a weekend get away, i had total brake loss while driving the vehicle in heavy traffic. Brake pedal became really hard and went down all the way to the floor. I had to used my hand brake to reassure my self of stopping and not colliding with the vehicle in front of me. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off for about 3 minutes, i cranked the vehicle back on tested the brakes before i continued and they felt normal, the temperature outside was 115. Two days later, as i am pulling up into my designated parking stall of my work. Brake pedal became hard and nonexistent, pedal went all the way to the floor and had to use the hand brake to stop the vehicle. I parked the vehicle and set up an appointment with my purchasing dealer that same day. At the end of my working day, i turned over my vehicle and tested the brakes before leaving the office, just to make i had brakes. And just like last time brakes were normal. I dropped off my vehicle on thursday at 5:15 pm, today is monday and they are still working on the problem. The service advisor, who is working on my case is giving me a projected response day of wednesday. That would mean, that my vehicle would be in at the repair facility for a about 4 working days. The problem that he is foreseeing is that they are having difficulty replicating the issue. At this point i just want to rest assure that i will be safe driving my vehicle. Also, i am not the only person with this similar situation. And in one occasion he was involved in a serious car accident that has been recorded. |
