| Description of the problem | It was a chilly winter afternoon and i had just pulled out of a business parking lot into traffic. The speed limit was 30mph and i was slowly getting up to speed. The traffic light changed to red and when i applied the brakes, nothing happened. It was like i was pressing against a solid wall. I had to swerve around cars, honking my horn as i couldn't stop. I managed to pull into another parking lot while repeatedly trying to apply the brakes. The brakes finally released after about 1 minute of pumping. This has happened approximately 10 more times since then. The dealer states that there is no issue with brakes and this is something they've never dealt with. It cannot be replicated once car has been running for more than 10 minutes. |
