| Description of the problem | I was driving about 45 mph when the break light lit up on the dash. Within a minute after the abs light came on along with check parking break and check vsc sytem and the general hazard light all were on. I tried to break and pull over and when i did i realize i could not stop. The assist breaks had been completely disabled and i had to push very very hard to slow down. I had to also use the parking break to assist me . When i turned the car off and back on again the breaks are back as if nothing was wrong. This has happened a few times each with a very frightening without warning experience. My mechanic says there are no codes showing what is happening. This has the potential to kill someone. Especially a new driver or an elderly person that simply would not have the great deal of power needed or the reflexes to slow down when the system malfunctions. This should be a recall!! |
