Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brakes failed to work when wet. there was about a 3-4 delay before the brakes would start to work. this only happens during very heavy rain or after driving through a puddle. this is not the same as previous cars i have had where the braking force would be less when wet. the brakes on this car provide less then 20% of braking for 3-4 seconds and presents a very dangerous situation. *ak
