| Description of the problem | On the date of july 12, 2017 i was on the freeway on my way to work. Traffic was moderate. As i attempted to brake i noticed it made springy grinding sound, and the brakes did not function as well. I also noticed that the red brake light indicator was on. In a safe and desperate manner, i immediately pulled over to shoulder and put my vehicle on park. After i placed my vehicle on park, i turned it off and turned off, then i turned it back on. Once i turned it back on, i noticed that the brake light was no longer on and the brakes were working fine. On july 13, 2017, while traveling with my wife and kids to disneyland, i experienced the same incident again. As i attempted to brake, the brakes made a loud springy grinding sound. In addition the brakes did not function as well and the brake light was on. This time i was not able to pull over to shoulder due to heavy traffic. I had to activate my emergency lights and turn off and turn on my vehicle in the middle lane. Please adhere to this major safety concern immediately. Thank you |
