| Description of the problem | Two incidents, both light rain days, traveling speed limit, on a city street - while driving i came upon a situation where i was required to quickly apply my brakes. Once brakes were applied, the car did not stop as soon as it should have and hit the other car. Afterwards, anytime i had to try to stop, the brake pedal had to be almost to the floor before it would stop. The first time, i took it to be looked at and was told that the brakes were fine. The second time, i was coming upon a light that was about to turn red. I put on my brake and the car once again did not stop in the time that it should have. I was almost in the middle of the intersection before the car stopped. I had already had my brakes and rotors looked at so i knew that it was neither of those. For the remainder of my drive, i had to press the brake almost to the floor before it would stop. When i drove it again after work, 8 hrs later, the brakes were back to normal. |
