While driving normally, yellow brake warning lights came on but I arrived home without incident. Next time I drove, the warning lights were all off, but suddenly the brakes failed almost completely. I pushed the pedal to the floor and heard a grinding/clicking sound, and barely any stopping power. I was only going 25 mph, and was able to stop after 5 seconds of high foot pressure. At the same …
I WAS DRIVING FOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED. I WAS GOING 45 MPH. I WAS TWO CAR LENGTHS BEHIND HIM. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START SO I HAD IT FLATBED TOWED T…
MUCH LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE, JUST AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE FROM A PARKING SPOT, PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN, EVEN WITH THE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. ONLY AFTER LETTING THE BRAKE UP AND PRESSING IT AGAIN DID IT WORK. FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO WORK IN TIME. THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO START THE CAR, …
