Description of the problem | I backed out of a parking space, applied the brakes and the pedal was extremely firm with no brakes at all, then i pumped the brakes, pedal slowly goes to the floor, another pump and braking is working again. This has happened several times, but now happening with more frequency. It also has happened on multiple times while backing out of garage onto a flat surface. Brakes correct themselves after incident. I picked up my grand-daughters from day care, and was exiting the parking lot on an incline driveway and when i applied the brakes, i had to push with all my strength to get the car to stop. Brakes pedal was extremely firm. I almost hit a pedestrian on the sidewalk. Appointment with my local dealership tomorrow to examine car. I cannot identify exact situation when this issue occurs. Very nervous about having granddaughter in my car and just driving it in general, if the brakes don't work properly. *jb |
