| Description of the problem | Last month, in september 2018 i was parking my car, and braking to do so. I went over a small pot hole in the road. Later when i went to drive it the brakes were squishy and went to the floor to stop. This problem seemed to get better, but then last week i had another driver pull in front of me and had to drive off the road to avoid a collision as the brakes did not engage properly. Now they go all the way to the floor to brake. I bought this car used back in june, asked the dealer representative about the brake issues when my airbag was fixed, and he said he knew nothing about it. The vehicle has 33,000 miles on it as the previous owner was an elderly woman. I know this is an abs issue. My mechanic told me there is an investigation but right now this would cost like 1000$. - and from what i am reading it could just happen again. Please do something. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
