Description of the problem | Doing approximately 45mph, in freezing temps and light snow, approached a yellow light. Had plenty of distance to stop and began to apply brakes. Truck began to slow, but suddenly felt like the brakes let go or maybe hit a patch of ice. Let off and depressed the pedal again. The pedal went to the floor. I began pumping them which was slowing the vehicle, but i ended up in the middle of the intersection, narrowly avoiding a side impact with a semi and looking like a moron. My entire family was in the truck and this was very close to a disaster. Afterwards the brakes were soft and continued to do the same. When the pedal was held down it would slowly go to the floor, feeling like all hydraulic pressure was bleeding off. The initial occurrence happened on a city road in motion. Of course the truck warranty ended about 500 miles prior. This vehicle has been babied, only used for weekends. Being told by dealer that a seal failed in the master cylinder and possibly a hydraulic control unit. Estimate to repair is over $2500 to repair a very new vehicle that costs over $50,000. |
