| Description of the problem | My daughter hit her brakes hard while driving on icy roads, and thereafter experienced the brake pedal going to the floor and increased stopping distances. I test drove her car and experienced the same thing. Due to being a safety factor, and the fact we live in the midwest where traffic conditions are often slick, we felt we had to get the brakes fixed for her safety even though she didn't yet get in an accident. You cannot safely drive a car where the brakes are liable to fail at any moment you have to hit them hard through no fault of your own. This should be recalled! |
