| Description of the problem | I was going less than ten miles per hour on city streets and tried to stop at a stoplight when my brakes failed. My foot was flooring the brake and i continued to roll into the cross walk and part of the intersection before putting my car into reverse to make it stop as it felt like the gear changed to neutral with the way i was rolling. Luckily the oncoming traffic remained stopped when this incident occurred. My car was serviced 6 days prior to the incident by my local subaru dealership with no report of any brake issues. |
