Description of the problem | While backing into a parking space, at a very slow speed, the brakes failed and the car hit the building behind the parking spot. Next day, while parking at a convenience store, also at a very slow speed, the brakes failed again and hit a post. Both times the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. The first time, i thought i had made a mistake, but after the second incident i realized the brakes failed. On the way home, i found that i could duplicate the problem at will while at a very slow speed (simulated parking situation). I contacted the dealer and they picked the car up for diagnostics and repair. Both parking incidents caused body damage. I am grateful there were no injuries to others or no damage to property other than my car. |
