| Description of the problem | I was driving and suddenly the brake lights came on and their was a loud grinding noise, when i press the brake it was hard to stop the vehicle. I pulled off the road and the vehicle eventually stopped. I turn off the veh and restart and the problem went away. This have happened several times over the year with the vehicle. I brought to the dealership and was told i need a new brake pads, i had new brake pads installed and the issue just kept on happening. This is definitely a manufacturing defect with the brake system. I finally brought my vehicle to a different dealership and im being told that the issue is within the brake booster. |
