Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Upon exiting a highway, a red brake failure warning and beeping noise appeared. All braking capability was absent, so i was able to safely roll to a stop. This happened twice (odometer during these incidences exceeding 120,000) and i now have a white message appearing when i start the vehicle which notes "brakes - visit workshop". The times that the brakes seized up on me i was always able to turn the car off and start up again with no message ever to appear for months at a time, which made me think it was some sort of computer error message. I had the brakes checked and the mechanic could not see anything wrong with them, so i was always sent on my way with no repair work done. I have reached my limit with this vehicle. I do not feel safe and it is unfortunate i had to experience such trauma twice. Thankfully i was able to not crash into anyone and had convenient parking lots to roll into. Please investigate this matter. It has happened to many people.
