| Description of the problem | I was coming up to a stop light, going roughly 40 mph, and started applying the brakes, as the lights were changing, and i felt the brake pedal go "soft" and drop nearly to the floor. I had the brake, abs, and slip lights light up on my dash. I was able to bring the armada to a controlled stop before going into the intersection, but to do so i had to depress the brake pedal to the floor and it was as if there was a miniscule amount of pressure being applied to the brakes. Once stopped i shifted into park, turned off the truck, waited a few moments, and turned the truck on again. The brake, abs, and slip lights remained illuminated and the brake pedal continued to feel extremely soft. I had to keep it full depressed against the floor in order to stay stopped. When the stop lights turned green, i pulled off the road- out of the way of traffic- and repeated the procedure above that i performed at the stop light. The brake, abs and slip lights continued to remain illuminated. |
