| Description of the problem | Just over a year ago, the "check vsc system" warning started coming on intermittently in my vehicle. It would go off again after a couple of vehicle starts and stops over time. The dealership ran a diagnostic, said everything was fine, and sent me along my way. After a few months it progressed to the "check vsc system", the red "brake" light, the little yellow triangle with the "!" and the stability control icon on staying on all the time. After a few more months the hydraulic brakes would lose power when the vehicle would start and this would be accompanied by a loud, constant "beep." it would last about a minute, power would return to the brakes. After a few more months the hydraulic brakes started losing power seemingly at random while i would be driving the vehicle. I can stop or decelerate, but i have to apply far more pressure to the brakes and my braking distance is greatly increased. It's a the dealership again now, and they are claiming that they have "never seen this problem before" and have "no idea how to fix it." |
