| Description of the problem | This has occurred twice in the last year, only in the morning after starting the car for the first time. I have applied the brakes at the end of my (city) street, only to have the brakes engage for a moment, then disengage, allowing the car to coast for several feet, before finally re-engaging and stopping. This last time it occurred, i almost drifted into oncoming traffic. I took the car to my mechanic and they can't find anything wrong. I now have it at the dealership, but they haven't been able to re-create the issue. |
