Description of the problem | Was driving in stop/go traffic - about 35-40 mph. Went to hit the brakes and the brake pad wouldn't move. I pumped and nothing happened. No lights/warnings on the dash, and the car had functioned fine prior to then. I had to throw the car to neutral, try to veer into another lane, then pull emergency brake to keep from hitting another car. Warning then came across the dash saying "brake assist service needed" (or something to that effect). The car is now at the dealership- was told that the vacumn pump failed, the gear inside broke apart and the pieces have been taken into the engine, so they have to replace the pump and get the pieces out of the engine. No abs warning prior, no other engine trouble or other warning lights prior to this happening. 86k miles, 2018 equinox. |
