 Description of the problemI have experienced brake failures on at least 5 occasions. It has occurred at slow speed when approaching a stop at an intersection and when behind other vehicles in traffic. The brakes appear to be engaging the anti-lock braking system and start to pulse but fail to stop. All of the incidents have occurred when the pavement was completely dry and the road surfaces were clean. All incidents have been narrow misses in traffic collisions. After each incident the brakes appear to return to normal function and only once have i been able to duplicate the failure which was in a parking lot shortly after the very first incident. During each incident i initially apply and hold the brake until i realize complete failure and then release and re-apply. Except for yesterday (01/01/2006) the brakes engaged on the second attempt. Yesterday the vehicle came to a stop on the third attempt but only because the initial speed was so slow the vehicle just ran out of forward momentum and the minimal braking held the vehicle. I backed out of the intersection, braked, tested stopping and the brakes appeared fine at that time. I plan to take the vehicle back to the dealership tomorrow. The dealership has seen the vehicle for this problem in addition to a charging light problem and have failed to fix either problem. The dealership stated that they were unable to find a braking problem and were unable to re-create the braking malfunction. Their resolution was to bleed the braking system and return the vehicle to service. *nm
