| Description of the problem | Car brakes went out while driving on freeway 65 mph. Sbc red light went off and car brake was fully depressed all the way to the floor and braking took too long. Car display error message was braking power decreased. Depress brake fully. Turned off car and restarted but error message disappeared and car brakes fully again. Not good at all. Now i know that problem is lurking and can happen again anytime. Very dangerous situation that could have injured me, my passenger, or another person. Totally unacceptable for any car brakes to fail just like that. Due to manufacturer incompetence. |
