| Description of the problem | In september, i was driving to work on the interstate and was exiting. Traffic was backed up on the exit ramp and so i was braking at the top of the exit ramp. There was a bump at the transition from asphalt to concrete and i hit that bump while i was braking. The brake pedal immediately went all the way to the floor but i was already slowed down so i did not hit the car in front of me on the ramp. The brake pedal continued to be mushy but i was able to pump the brakes numerous times and the brakes started to work again. On november 4, 2014, i was driving to work on a surface street and had to stop for a pedestrian. While i was braking, my right front tire hit a pothole and then the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The car slowed but did not stop completely. I turned into my parking garage for work and the brake pedal continued to sink all the way to the floor every time i needed to stop. I inched into a parking space and continued to work. When i was going home, i turned the car on and pumped the brake pedal numerous times but the pedal continued to be mushy. I was able to stop because the brakes would suddenly grab just before the brake pedal was all the way to the floor. I made it home slowly and am getting the brakes looked at today. |
