| Description of the problem | Mi wife was leaving the house to work when at the second turn before exiting to a main street the brakes failed completely with red light warning on the dash. The brake pedal completely collapsed without any effort to stop. Do to the low speed of movement my wife was able to turn the car in to the sidewalk and put it to park. She left the car at the location and used our spare to go to work. My mechanic could nod be certain what the problem is because the car has being performing normal since. We are afraid to drive do to uncertainty that may happen under higher speed and get involved in an accident. |
