| Description of the problem | The incident happened on november 15, 2014 while accelerating from a stop light going north before the intersection (overpass) of carmenita street, norwalk, ca and i-5 freeway at approximately 10 mph. The brake light came on and the brakes lost power along with giving a spring sound. I brought the vehicle to my local mechanic . No problem was found and cannot duplicate the problem as stated and because of this mechanic was not able to resolve the issue/problem. Once the vehicle is turned off and restarted braking power returns to normal and the brake light goes off. This is the first incident that it happened but i was scared and lost confidence in the driving the vehicle especially on freeways with my family as passengers and putting them, myself as well as other people in danger. It seems that i am not alone who experienced this problem on this vehicle after doing a research over the internet. |
