| Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway at normal speed around 55-65 in houston texas. A car pulled in front of me and i had to put the brakes on quickly. When i applied the brakes the pedal mushed completely to the floor making a grinding noise and the vehicle barley slowed down. I made my way to the side of the road as the brakes made an loud grinding noise, and lost brakes completely. When i finally stopped(with out getting hit my cars) i depressed the brake and there was no response. I had to turn the truck off and as i sat there i heard a noise under the dash, like something reset itself. I start the truck up and moved slowly forward to see if i had brakes and suddenly they were working again. This truck has done this a million times and it is just by luck that i have no been involved in an accident when the brakes go out. The dealership says there is no recall and nothing he can do without a thousand dollars and then he isn't sure it will fix the problem. I am stuck with this truck and it continues to loose the brakes. The passenger airbag light has been on since 2011. |
