| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Traveling down steep hill at 45 mph. attempted to apply brakes as i approached a stop sign at bottom of hill. braking system totally failed as a warning light read "braking system failure - service immediately" attempted to apply brake manually but did not have to strength to push the pedal hard enough to stop the car at that speed. i manually downshifted the car and it slowed to about 10 mph and i coasted it onto the shoulder of the main road and was then able to stop the car with the brake pedal manually. after turning the car off and restarting, the brake system worked again for a few minutes and again failed. apparently a computer malfunction. *jb |
