| Description of the problem | While coming to a stop at a traffic light, my brakes malfunctioned. The brake warning light came on and the peddle became slack. The peddle fell to the floor. I was able to stop the car before entering the intersection. After a moment the brake warning stopped and the brakes worked again. This happened again as i was parking my car in the driveway. I have video of both incidents. Dealer has been notified, but is not able to schedule a repair for 5 days. It will have to remain parked as i am concerned about safety. |
