| Description of the problem | On two occasions over the past week my vehicle brake pedal became very soft / spongy and went to the floor while exiting highway offramp. I was exiting at about 40-45 mph, the offramp is curved & was bumpy with a couple of potholes. Brakes functioned normally until vehicle hit a bump, then pedal gradually went down further to floorboard. Braking still possible but took power significantly reduced and distance increased. I pumped the brakes a few times and all seemed to return to normal. On the first occasion i got out to check brake fluid level; still fillled to max leaving line in reservoir. I was able to slowly and cautiously drive home. All brake pads are new, changed in march 2017. Please look into this issue; extremely dangerous condition for driver and other motorists / pedestrians. |
