Description of the problem | A warning message came on saying that the brake fluid was low, and that i needed to take the car to a dealer. I drove home, a short distance, and decided to check the fluid myself. When i opened the hood i found the brake fluid reservoir sitting on top of the engine tipped down so that fluid was not available to the brake lines. There was some fluid left but most had been lost. The warning came on within a few 100 yards of my home, if i had been on a trip or at highway speeds this could have been very bad. The car will go to a dealership tomorrow. *js |
