Description of the problem	Tonight when i was driving home, i came to a red light. When i hit the brakes, the brakes made a weird sound, hit almost to the floor and would not stop the car. I pressed off the brake and pressed it again and it went to the floor again, but not as much and eventually stopped the car. I pulled over and kept testing the brakes again and it was still going to the floor but the eventually stopped. Luckily i was about 5 minutes from home so i did not have to drive much farther. When i got home, i went online to look up the issue and i found other people inquiring about the same issue. Some people spent a lot of money and the issue was still not properly resolved. I think this common issue needs to be reviewed, and a recall issued since brakes play a significant role in the safety of a car. If i was not on an empty road or if i had a car right in front of me, i could have had a car accident today because i could not stop the car right away. I ended up practically in the middle of the intersection.
