| Description of the problem | While driving the brake pedal will randomly lose pressure and go all the way down to the firewall when trying to slow down or stop which results in the vehicle failing to stop. It appears to only be happening at speeds of 45 mph or less. This has been happening for about 30-45 days now are is becoming more frequent now occurring at least once every 3-4 days. When this 1st started i was advised that it may be due to low brake pads and under spec rotors so we replaced the rotors and pads on all 4 wheels and bleed the brakes to ensure there was no air trapped in the lines however this did not fix the issue. There is no loss of brake fluid and all of the brake lines are in great shape. We are the 2nd owners of the vehicle and purchased it with about 30k miles on it in 2012 and it now has 70k miles on it. This is my wife's car and drives my 2 young children around in it and we no longer feel safe using it as yesterday she could not stop the car trying to turn into the ymca parking lot and she couldn't stop! Luckily there was no-one in front of her as she would have slammed into them. I don't feel comfortable selling or trading the car since this is apparently an issue that multiple other people are having issues with that dealers can't figure out and i don't feel comfortable passing this dangerous situation on to someone else. |
