| Description of the problem | While exiting onto ramp from expressway on wet pavement, i applied my brakes to slow the car. I drove over an uneven road surface and my brake pedal went to the floor. As a result, i needed increased distance to stop my car. If i needed to stop for traffic or a traffic signal this incident would have resulted into an accident. My brake pedal returned to normal sometime later. I have had three similar incidents happen while driving my car over an uneven road surface ( wet or dry) my brake pedal turns soft and goes to floor. As a result increased stopping distance was needed. My brake pedal always return to normal sometime later. |
