Description of the problem | While driving on the interstate at the 70 mph speed limit, i attempt to slow down and could not without utilizing my emergency brake. I ended up taking my car to the nearest dealership and had to get a new vacuum pump and pressure sensor. I immediately looked up the issue and saw that there had been multiple complaints of this issue. I had to pay in order to receive my vehicle back, but this type of issue should not rely on a consumer. My vehicle is only 2 years old and i've been the only owner. This was a very dangerous incident, as i also had my wife and 2 young children in the vehicle. |
