| Description of the problem | In 2014 had a brake booster recall on my vehicle. All parts were replaced related to the brake booster in may of 2014. On the first below freezing temperature of the season in 2016 my brakes failed when trying to stop at an intersection i went 20 feet pass the stop sign until i was able to stop. Luckily no other vehicles were at the intersection at this time. As i kept pumping the brakes while slowly continuing to drive the braking began to work. I had no other braking issues that day. The very next day with below freezing temperatures i was again unable to stop at the first intersection i approached again no other vehicles were at the intersection. I again continuously pumped the brakes while slowly driving and i immediately brought the vehicle to be serviced. My personal mechanic indicated the problem was with the brake booster. I contacted my dealer and after the dealers confirmation that the problem was the brake booster it has now been replaced again. I am extremely concerned that the parts used to replace the booster in the original recall are faulty parts therefore causing the same problem the recall was suppose to fix. I would like this known as i am sure i am not the only person who will have this issue with their brakes. |
