| Description of the problem | While driving, my emergency brake light comes on and my brakes make a crunching noise and do not give full braking power when i am stopping. It happened while i've been driving on city streets at 20 mps or on the highway at 70 mph. The brake problem will continue until i turn off the car. The problem began several years ago but it would occur maybe twice a year. Over the past year, the instances have grown dramatically. It's happened 3 times in the past 2 days. Like others out there, the dealer tells me that they don't see anything wrong with it (the brake light hasn't been on), but i strongly disagree. This problem is jeopardizing mine and my family's lives and it needs to be corrected asap! |
