| Description of the problem | Driving about 10 mph on tight curvy country road, brake pedal went to the floor. Pumping the pedal got the car to stop. Dealer said the brake force distribution module failed, allowing brake fluid to simply bypass being sent to the brakes. This is a very dangerous failure mode; it should fail by eliminating abs but still giving full brake force. There was no indication on dash lights that anything had failed. |
