| Description of the problem | The first time it happened i just pulled out of driveway. Recently it has been happening while driving on the road. As i am driving or sitting in traffic the brake light comes on and when i try to put the brakes on there is grinding and loud noises. Each time, i need to pull over or right there on the road, i put the car in park and shut the engine off. Once i turn the car back on the brake light shuts off and i can continue to drive. During and after the time the light is on and shortly after it turns off, my braking distance is shortened and i have to press on the brakes a little harder than normal. This is a very dangerous situation for not only me but for all drivers especially if i am in traffic. |
