| Description of the problem | Braking system not working properly. First time i applied the brakes to stop at a light and they were slow reacting, which caused my to go into the intersection. Second time i was going about 15 mph and went to brake and the pedal went down to the floor without stopping the car. Dealership did not find anything wrong, but clearly there is a problem. *jb |
