Description of the problem | While driving at 25 mph towards a stop sign. I applied the brakes and i had no brakes. None, without warning the brakes completely failed. Went through the stop sign. Fortunately there were no vehicles coming and no pedestrians crossing. Have driven for 40 years and never had anything like this happen. Very very dangerous. Had vehicle taken to dealer in spokane. Do not know what the problem is yet. This is the first year of a redesigned body style. Maybe this is just the beginning of trouble for this vehicle. |
