Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have inconsistant, "intermitent" loss of brakes. 3 people have experienced this problem while driving the vehicle. the service departments at 2 different dealerships have been unable to duplicate the problem. the brakes will take at first, disappear for a couple of seconds, the pedal goes almost to the floor and the brake returns (so far). the loss happens in both cold/hot weather & wet/dry conditions without warning. i am told the car is 'safe' to drive, although i consider this problem 'unsafe'.
