| Description of the problem | When the antilock brake system activates, the brake pedal goes to the floor causing a loss of braking. The only way i've found to stop the vehicle is to pump the brake pedal until the braking resumes. However, once the vehicle stops, the brake pedal will continue to go to the floor very easily. I would pull over, put the vehicle in park, then press the pedal down several times very firmly, continuing until the antilock brake system builds up pressure (or comes out of a fail mode). My mechanic has worked on other milan's having the same problem and after changing master cylinders and brake boosters, he said customers are reporting the problem still exists. Apparently there is a serious problem with the antilock brake system on this model vehicle. This has happened several times since approximately 2014 and only happens when the antilock brake system activates. The last time this happened was on january 3, 2019. |
