| Description of the problem | Was driving on a non-highway road about 45mph when i was coming up to a stop light. My brakes felt like they completely just gave out! Pedal went straight to the floor, there was no firmness or resistance on the brake pedal. I had to swerve and almost ended up in on coming traffic. It seems as though this is not a priority until there is a fatality! |
