THE "BRAKE MALF" LIGHT WENT ON AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN HILL, COMING HOME FROM WORK. I PULLED TO A SIDE STREET. THE BREAK WOULD WORK IF YOU PRESSED REALLY HARD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SMART DEALERSHIP.THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT WATER LEAKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CORRODED THE FUSE BOX CONNECTED TO THE BREAKS. I ASKED HOW WATER COULD GET THERE HE SAID FROM A SPILL. I INFORMED HIM THAT NOTHING HAS SPILLED ON THAT SIDE AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE FROM THE RAIN OR LEAKING WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. HE SAID THE RAIN CAN'T GET IN UNLESS THE CAR WINDOW OR DOOR IS OPEN AND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IS SOMEWHERE ELSE. THERE WAS NO SPILL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SO I AM NOT SURE HOW THE FUSE BOX GOT CORRODED. EVEN IF THERE WAS A SPILL, HOW CAN A SPILL INSIDE YOUR OWN CAR CAUSE THE BREAKS TO MALFUNCTION!?? THEY NEED TO FIX THIS DESIGN FLAW!!!! HAVING YOUR BRAKES NOT WORK IS A DEADLY SITUATION FOR ANY DRIVER TO BE IN.
