Description of the problem | I was traveling 70+mph on a freeway and i went to slow down for a speed limit change for road construction. I couldn't push down on the brakes!! Thankfully there wasn't anyone in front of me! I was able to put on my hazard lights and coast while pushing as hard as i could on the brakes. I made in to an off ramp and was able to slow down enough to stop and throw it in park and e-brake it. This could have ended very badly! I found that there is an open investigation on the vaccum pump, but no official recall... (which is what mine turned out to be) i hope they are not waiting for fatalities!! |
