Description of the problem | As i was sitting in the vehicle in park, i placed my foot on the brake and noticed that the brake assist had activated while in park. I was unable to push the petal down. I was able to move the shifter into drive with my foot on the brake, but the vehicle immediately plunged forward. As i continued to try and depress the brake petal, the vehicle finally slowed to a stop. Before i could get off the road and out of traffic, the brake assist continued to be locked up and there was no brakes if i shifted into reverse. I was extremely concerned for mine and my children's safety as this could have caused a very serious accident. The brakes did not stop the vehicle and were defective due to the vacuum pump "going out". The vehicle is only 2 years old and has 49k miles. |
