THE BRAKES IS FAILING TO WORK WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION. THESE HAPPENS MOST NOTICEABLY WHEN I'M DRIVING IN A SLOWER PACE, LIKE IN A TRAFFIC JAM OR WHEN I NEED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP AFTER DRIVING IN A NORMAL SPEED, BECAUSE OF A TRAFFIC AHEAD OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PRESSED (WHICH ALSO MAKES A SOUND LIKE A SMALL AIR BRAKE) GOES WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR THAT AN IMMEDIATE ADDITIONAL PUMPS ON THE PEDAL IS NEEDED TO MAKE THE BRAKES WORK.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN THE LEFT LANE, I SWITCHED LANES DUE TO TRAFFIC AND I SAW AMOTHER CAR STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM THE RIGHT LANE. I HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND THE CAR KEPT GOING. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL. WHEN I HOT THE BRAKES THEANTI LOCK BRAKES PULSED ONCE BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING FORWARD. THE CAR DIDN'T SKID OR SLIDE. IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL. MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE SCARED AND SHOOK UP. I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS MOST OF MY LIFE AND TO FEEL THE CAR DO THIS WAS VERY STRANGE TO ME.

ON MY WAY HOME FROM MY 40,000 MILE CHECK-UP, INCLUDING OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, AND FULL VEHICLE INSPECTION, I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE PEDAL POPPED BACK UP (WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON IT), THERE WAS A LOUD HISSING SOUND, AND I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR AND RESTART MY SYSTEM BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPANY HAS NO SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL PROBLEM YET SO I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL INDEFINITELY. THIS IS NOT SAFE, TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AND COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE DANGEROUS.
