In sept 2016 - 91251 miles: driving over the crest of a bridge in the rain and when traffic backed up from a red light, i depressed the brake, it went completely to the floor and the car would not stop. I was able to avoid a major collision by driving off into a grassy area that presented just before i hit the car in front of me to cause a chain collision. The remainder of the drive, i was able to get the vehicle to stop only after continuously pumping the pedal. I had the vehicle towed to a repair shop.
