Description of the problem	Sbc brake failure almost causes accident. I was driving down a 2 lane highway at 60mph and stepped on the brakes. At the moment i stepped on the brakes the dashboard started to blink red and beeping with brake failure message and there was no noticeable brake power. I pushed the pedal all the way to the floor and felt no resistance and very little braking power. I'm estimating 5% power from normal. I had to swerve to avoid the car in front of me. Luckily, there was no traffic in the intersection because i blew straight through it and eventually managed to get the vehicle stopped after about 200 yards. This happened with no prior messages or warnings on the dashboard. I turned off the car and restarted it and braking power resumed as normal. There are currently no messages about brakes. It's like it never happened.
