| Description of the problem | Driving in stop and go traffic (5-20 mph), when i stepped on the brakes with normal pressure for this type of city driving. At this time i heard a loud grinding noise and i had to drive off the road to avoid hitting the car ahead because the vehicle did not stop. It took longer and much more pressure than just a regular tap on the brake needed to stop it at this speed. I drive on this road every day and there was nothing wrong with the road or weather. I called roadside assistance and had it towed to the dealership. No problem was identified. I am no w afraid to drive this vehicle for fear of repeat incident. |
