| Description of the problem | Brakes failure ( suddenly brake light on ) "i was on my way home from work and a car cut me off,brake lights came on, i stepped on my brakes and the brakes went down to the floor and i heard and felt a grinding noise. I immediately drove out the way and thank god there was no vehicles parked in the area i had turned into. Then after that i did turn off the vehicle then turn it on and everything wors good but anyway driving with a lot concerning that might be happen again. I did take it to the dealer but they said could not find anything wrong, anyway they charge me about $ 200 dollars for the test.
