| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Approaching a toll-booth i began braking moderately from roughly 45mph. at about 15mph i went over some broken pavement with small pock marks. the pedal immediately went to the floor, or thereabouts, and a significant loss of braking power occurred. upon releasing the brake and reengaging the vehicle's brakes, the brakes operately properly and stopped the car. by the time i stopped, however, i was already 20 feet beyond the tollbooth. thank god there was not a car in front of me. i have also been able to repeat this scenario numerous times over rough, dry pavement with light to moderate braking. the bumps seem to confuse the abs.(?) i brought the car into marin subaru, who confirmed a brake hydraulic failure and replace the offending parts.*ak |
