| Description of the problem | In october while the car was at the dealer for service they asked me wait a few more minutes and explained they were replacing the brake fluid. Within a month of that service i started noticing a soft peddle which turned to a to the floor pedal on occasions. Finally in late dec 13 it got very bad and the brakes were unresponsive and took a great deal of pressure to activate from time to time. I brought the car to the dealer today under a new recall i just received regarding brake fluid replacement. They replaced the fluid and bled the system, they said they were not satisfied with the result and continued to look for another issue. They found the mast cylinder was leaking. The tech took me on the side and said the fluid that was in there attracted metal shavings that probably caused the master cylinder seal to fail. They would not let me drive the car home and gave me a loaner. |
