HAPPENED LAST WEEKEND, WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN MY NEW 2010 SCION TC. CAR IS JUST BARELY 2 MONTHS OLD AND LESS THAN 800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MIDDLE PART OF A NICE, MILD DAY, DRY ROAD, BUT SOME BROKEN PAVEMENT/ROUGHNESS AT THE CORNER THERE. SOMEONE COMING FROM MY 3 O'CLOCK POSITION WAS PLANNING TO MAKE A U-TURN IN THE INTERSECTION SO I ATTEMPTED TO STOP FOR THEM BEFORE COMPLETING MY RIGHT TURN. APPLIED BRAKES AND PEDAL RESISTANCE AND DECELERATION RATE INITIALLY SEEMED NORMAL, BUT THEN WHEN IT GOT A LITTLE BUMPY THE BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT WENT TO ZERO AND SO DID MY BRAKING. SO MY CAR PROCEEDED WITH THE MOTION, AT COASTING SPEED -- NOT ACCELERATING (MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS, ON THE BRAKE PEDAL), BUT ALSO NOT SLOWING AT ALL! *JB
