| Description of the problem | As i was driving down a major street traveling around 35 mph, the car in front of me began to stop. As i began to apply the brakes, my car's pedal went to the floor. I pumped the brakes a few times and began to get some pressure, but i was not able to stop in time before rear ending the car in front of me. I never knew what the issue was and i couldn't get the problem to duplicate, but the brake pedal was soft since that day. I have changed the pads, and rotors, so those are not the issue. This week, my fuel pump went out and i took the car to the mechanic for that issue. My mechanic informed me that the car needed an abs pump. The dealers are well aware of the issue because when we checked the price of the part ($2600), the parts agent immediately knew the problem. There are numerous complaints online about the exact same issue. This is truly a safety issue for these cars. There are many complaints online with the same problem!!!!!!! |
