| Description of the problem | Brake failure. Pressing on brakes with normal pressure had no effect. Pressing on pedal very hard would stop the car. When doing so there was a noise that i believe was associated with the abs braking system. This could have been disastrous if there had been a pedestrian around. Took to dealer. They said the braking controller had failed. They replaced and it appears normal now. This vehicle had the cold weather brake controller update applied to it approximately a month earlier. |
