| Description of the problem | I bought the vehicle used fall 2014. Dec 2014 (1st instance) i was leaving parking lot when my brake light came on and my brakes made a weird grinding noise & i couldn't stop. When i did get it to stop i tried pumping the brakes thinking it was fluid, but i checked and fluid level was full. I started it again and seem like it was fine. Didn't happen again til mth half later, same thing. I pumped brakes, shut vehichle off, restarted and it cleared up. However, yesterday june 29, 2015 i was trying to get off interstate and was coming down off ramp behind other vehicles trying to exit and my brakes started acting up again. I know that i have new brakes and plenty of brake fluid. I took it to the garage where i normally have work done and was told i need to take it to dealer. Since i bought it used, there is no longer warranty and i don't have money to get it fixed. I have to have vehicle, im single mom taking care of my mom and 2 disabled sisters. Im the only one driving but i don't want to risk their life, someone elses life or mine if i cant get brakes to work properly. |
