| Description of the problem | Started the car and the "brake" warning light immediately came on. Also, in the multi-information display at the center of the speedometer, the message "check vsc system" appeared. I thought maybe my parking brake was causing a problem, so i engaged and disengaged that. Then i tried to drive the car. The brake pedal behaves as if there is no brake-assist. I jam it to the floor to get minimal braking. I drove slowly and carefully home in this condition. In subsequent trips (over the last two days) i have only seen this again one more time. When the system does not report the problem, the brakes work fine. And in that one case where the problem re-appeared, i was able to turn the car off and back on again a few times, until the problem disappeared. I have not seen the problem begin while i am driving -- only when i am starting the car. However, i've now seen others describe the problem as beginning during driving, so i will be extremely careful and get the car to the dealer asap. *js |
