Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After driving steadily at 35-40 without braking, applied brakes approaching cars stopped a light. The brake pedal went nearly to the floor and the car only slowed minimally. After several pumps, braking returned and i was able to stop before colliding with the stopped traffic. After that, the car braked normally. This was the 2nd time this happened, the first time being just a few days earlier. The initial episode was less dramatic. There were no warning lights before or after the event. The car is at the dealer for service now. This was incredibly scary; i could have pushed the car in front of me through the intersection into 60mph highway traffic. The brake fluid had been replaced under a tsb at 6,502 miles due to corrosion issues related to the hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu). It's frightening to think this problem may be responsible for a serious brake failure at just 64,000 miles.
