| Description of the problem | I was driving and the reduce braking light came on. I pulled over stopped my vehicle because it stated that i needed to do so, restarted the vehicle and tried to make it home. I began to loose control of the steering and even though i was pushing the brake pedal to stop, the pedal went to the floor. I was in rush traffic and so scared that i would hurt someone or myself. I recently had my brakes and rotors replaced, months in advance. I barely made it home and since then i have tried to take my vehicle to the shop but in doing so the same problem arose. Again, i was frighten to put it on the road i placed it back in the garage. Please help. I am not understanding why i am having these problems. I brought the car in september of 2013 and this is the only major issue i have had. I love my car. I also read that in 2006 some type of braking system was discontinued and that there was a recall on the sbc pump. |
