| Description of the problem | The 1st failure was ,after leaving a gas station, my brake pedal went to the floor without warning. I barely missed the car in front. After 4 months,the same thing occurred after leaving a highway at a light. Ok again for a few months,there was a 3rd incident, but i can t remember the details. I hit a small pot hole and the abs came on. I lost my pedal again. When i shut the car off, the system reset and it was fine. Now whenever the abs is used, i lose my pedal without warning. It no longer resets. My mechanic has to bleed the system to get my pedal back. Im afraid to drive the car in bad weather. I have had 6 or 7 brake failures in the last 18 months. |
