Description of the problem	I experienced a sudden loss of braking power as i was approaching an intersection at about 30 mph and applying my brakes. The brake pedal became soft and unresponsive and the pedal began to shake and the abs system or brake booster could be heard making a metallic grinding noise. I lost about 80-90% braking ability and was barely able to stop the car before it entered into a busy intersection. This occurred for 1 1/2 miles until i got home. Vehicle was taken to the dealership the next day, however, the problem could not be replicated. They suggested a $900 brake booster replacement with no assurance that it would solve the problem. I looked through the original service records of the car and found that the previous owner had taken the vehicle while it was still under warranty for the exact same issue on 3/5/2008 and a vdc software update was performed. That did not solve the problem. There appears to be a design defect in the braking system that is causing this to happen.
